ANone of these

BIGP,ACK,SYN,PSH,URG

DFIN,PSH,URG,RST,SYN

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

TCP flags are used in the header of TCP segments to control the flow of data and to indicate the status of a connection. Valid TCP flags include:

FIN: Finish, used to terminate the connection.

PSH: Push, instructs the receiver to pass the data to the application immediately.

URG: Urgent, indicates that the data contained in the segment should be processed urgently.

RST: Reset, abruptly terminates the connection upon error or other conditions.

SYN: Synchronize, used during the initial handshake to establish a connection. These flags are integral to managing the state and flow of TCP connections. Reference:

I’m surprised none of these options mention the ACK flag in the right context!

I agree with D, but isn’t RST also a flag?

I feel like I should know this, but I can't remember if RST is definitely a TCP flag or not.

I’m a bit confused because I thought B had some valid flags too, but I can't recall if IGP is a TCP flag.
