Rules that specify how long to wait for a response and what action to take if a time-out occurs. |
Response Timeout |
|
Also called one-to-one delivery, when a host sends a message to one single destination (recipient). |
Unicast |
|
When a host sends a message to a group of hosts at the same time; also referred to as a one-to-many delivery option. |
Multicasting |
|

Protocol Suite |
|
The best way to visualize how the protocols interact within the suite is to look at the ________. This way you can view it in terms of layers with each higher level depending on the functionality of the lower levels. |

|
Transport protocol that manages the individual conversation and divides the HTTP messages into segments. Also responsible for controlling the size and rate at which messages are exchanged. |
TCP |
|
Internet protocol that takes formatted segments from TCP, encapsulates them into packets, assigns the address, and delivers them to the destination. |
