Quiz; TCP ensures reliable transfer of information

i would not go that strong. tcp ensures transfer, but “reliable” is part of the security and only a few ports are encrypted by default, so making the plain text protocols open for vulnerabilities and code insertions.

its also not reliable in terms of receiving. POP or icmp pings for instance might get dropped without sending the (propper) ACK back to you in more modern firewall setups.

so the true correct answer is false

Hi @Educative_10
In Quiz, it is asked about the transfer is reliable in TCP or not. So, as you have said, it ensures transfer which means it ensures a reliable transfer in that the data is not lost, damaged, duplicated, or delivered out of order.
Thank you! Happy Learning:)
