Part 2 of the Midterm Exam is worth 50 points and consists of the following two Essay Questions. Read each question carefully and answer both questions using your own words; although you should include supporting resources where necessary (use APA formatting and include any references immediately following each question, do not put them all at the end). Your essay answers should include an introduction, body, and conclusion for each question. Answer both questions separately, starting each question at the top of a new page. There is no minimum or maximum number of pages; however, you need to write a complete and thorough essay for each question, making sure you address all parts of each question. Here are some formatting requirements:
- Margins = 1 inch on all sides
- Use 12 pt. font size, double-spaced
- Use a standard font type (e.g., Arial, Calibri, Tahoma, Times Roman); do not use a script-style font
- Do not create a cover/title page – only include a simple heading at the top of Page 1 (only) which includes the Course #/Title, “Midterm Exam – Essay Questions,” your full name, and the date (do not make it a repeating header)
- Do not repeat the questions, just write your essay answers
Essay Question #1:
When two computer systems want to “talk” with each other using the TCP/IP protocols, there are certain things that must happen for communication to take place.
- What steps are involved in TCP’s “three-way handshake” to begin a two-way connection?
- How is the TCP connection/session ended (what occurs between the two systems)?
