You are sending a file to an FTP server. The file will be broken into several pieces of information packets (segments) and will be sent to the server. The file will again be reassembled and reconstructed once the packets reach the FTP server. Which of the following information should be used to maintain the correct order of information packets during the reconstruction of the file?
Suggested Answer: D

D) Sequence number is the answer. It's the glue that holds the file together.
RA

D) Sequence number is the correct answer. The sequence number is used to maintain the correct order of the information packets during the reconstruction of the file.

The checksum is more about error checking, right? So I don't think that's the right choice for maintaining order.
HA
Hassie

I think the sequence number is what we need to keep track of the order of packets, but I'm not entirely sure.
AR
Artie

The sequence number is the key piece of information needed here. That's what allows the FTP server to put the packets back in the right order when reconstructing the file. I'm pretty sure about that.
LI

Okay, let me think this through. The sequence number has to be the right answer - that's how the FTP server keeps track of the order to reassemble the file correctly. I'm feeling pretty confident about that.
YU
Yun

Definitely need the sequence number for that!
FL

Sequence number is definitely the way to go here. That's how the server knows the order to put the packets back together. The other options don't seem relevant for maintaining the order.

I remember practicing a similar question where we discussed how packets are reassembled, and I think the sequence number was definitely mentioned.
MA
Mariko

I'm a bit confused about the acknowledge number and sequence number; they both seem related to packet order, but I can't recall the exact difference.
EL
Elvera

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The sequence number seems like the obvious choice, but I want to double-check the other options just to be sure I'm not missing something.
MA
Marti

I think the sequence number would be the key information to maintain the correct order of the packets. That's what I'd focus on in my answer.
EN
