TRUE OR FALSE

1. A transport protocol can be either connection oriented, such as UDP, or connectionless, such
as TCP.
2. The receiver needs to adopt some policy concerning the amount of data it permits the
sender to transmit.
3. There is no need for connection establishment and termination procedures to
support connection-oriented service with a reliable network service.
4. There is no need for connection establishment and termination procedures to
support connectionless service with a reliable network service.
5. The SYN segment functions both as a connection request and as a connection
acknowledgment.
6. In a protocol architecture, the transport protocol sits above application and other
upper-layer protocols, and just below the network or internetwork layer.
7. The less the network service provides, the more the transport protocol must do.
8. The sliding-window technique would work well with a reliable network service.
9. A retransmission timer is the only timer needed for proper functioning of a transport
protocol.
