Which of the following is NOT a feature of the TCP protocol?
  1. Provides hardware address to IP address resolution.
  2. Assures reliable delivery.
  3. It is connection oriented.
  4. Uses sockets and ports to exchange data between applications.
Explanation
Answer - A - TCP does not provide hardware address to IP address resolution. ARP does so.

Key Takeaway: TCP is connection oriented and assures reliable delivery of packets. TCP uses sockets and ports to exchange data between applications. Ports provide a specific and universal location for message delivery, while sockets use the host IP address, port number, and the type of service (TCP or UDP) to create a reliable connection.
