What is the size in bytes of the TCP sequence number in the header?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Modbus TCP is a variant of the Modbus family of simple, networked protocols aimed at industrial automation applications. Unlike the original Modbus protocol, which runs over serial links, Modbus TCP runs over TCP/IP networks.

Port 502 is the standard TCP port used for Modbus TCP communications. This port is designated for Modbus messages encapsulated in a TCP/IP wrapper, facilitating communication between Modbus devices and management systems over an IP network.

Knowing the correct port number is crucial for network configuration, security settings, and troubleshooting communications within a Modbus-enabled ICS/SCADA environment.

Reference

Modbus Organization, 'MODBUS Application Protocol Specification V1.1b3'.

'Modbus TCP/IP -- A Comprehensive Network protocol,' by Schneider Electric.

I’m a bit confused. I thought TCP headers were always 20 bytes, but I can’t remember the size of the sequence number specifically.

I feel like I’ve seen a question like this before, and I think the answer is 4 bytes too. It’s definitely not 1 or 2 bytes.

I think the TCP sequence number is 4 bytes, but I’m not completely sure. I remember it being a common topic in our networking class.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. The TCP header has a lot of different fields, and I don't want to just guess. I'll have to review my networking material to refresh my memory.

Okay, the TCP sequence number is used for reliable data transfer, so the size must be large enough to handle the range of sequence numbers needed. I'm going to go with 4 bytes.

The TCP sequence number is definitely an important part of the TCP header, so I'm confident I can figure this out. Let me review the details in my notes.

This one seems a bit tricky. I'm going to eliminate the options that don't sound right, and then make an educated guess on the correct answer.

Okay, so the calls aren't reaching the Expressway-C. I'm wondering if the transport protocol on the Expressway-C Traversal Client zone needs to be configured for TCP instead of the default.

Wait, is this a trick question? What if the answer is actually 3 bytes, just to mess with us? Nah, better stick with the classic 4 bytes. *chuckles*

If the TCP sequence number was only 1 byte, we'd be in trouble! Definitely going with D) 4 bytes. Bring on the next question!

2 bytes? That's way too small for a sequence number. I'm feeling pretty confident about D) 4 bytes. Time to impress the examiner!
