Protocol question

Hi,

I was wondering what is the difference between these two questions that makes the protocol be "http" in one, and "tcp" in the other one.

If such a question were to be asked in the exam, what should we answer? What protocol layer is expected?

Best regards,

Loïc Busson

Dear Loïc,

There is nothing in the IP header that says that it is a http protocol.
The second one is false and do not belong to the solutions we put online.

Protocols that can be in the IP header are for example tcp, udp, ipv4,ipv6, icmp...

In your example, the correct answer is therefore tcp.

Best regards,
Stéphan.
