Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SYN (synchronize) and ACK (acknowledge) packets are used for session establishment during the TCP three-way handshake process. The exchange of these packets helps to establish a reliable and secure connection between two hosts before any data exchange can occur. Pinging, detection of transmission errors, and detection of lost messages are not related to the use of SYN and ACK packets.
