Module 4: Transport Layer & Congestion Control

In TCP, sending and receiving data is done as:
(i) stream of bytes
(ii) sequence of characters
(iii) lines of data
(iv) packets

Worked SolutionAI Assisted

Answer: (i) stream of bytes

Why: TCP delivers an ordered, reliable byte stream to the application — it has no notion of message boundaries (characters or lines) and exposes no record framing. "Packets" is the network-layer term (IP datagrams); TCP segments are simply chunks of the byte stream that it numbers, sends and acknowledges by byte offset.
