Consider the following statements: (i) Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) provides a mapping from an IP address to the corresponding hardware (link-layer) address. (ii) A single TCP segment from a sender S to a receiver R cannot carry both data from S to R and acknowledgement for a segment from R to S. Which ONE of the following is CORRECT?

  1. Both (i) and (ii) are TRUE
  2. (i) is TRUE and (ii) is FALSE
  3. (i) is FALSE and (ii) is TRUE
  4. Both (i) and (ii) are FALSE

Correct answer: (i) is TRUE and (ii) is FALSE

Solution

Statement (i) is correct because ARP indeed maps IP addresses to hardware addresses, facilitating communication over a network. Statement (ii) is incorrect as TCP segments can carry both data and acknowledgements in the same segment, allowing for efficient communication.
