In one of the pairs of protocols given below , both the protocols can use multiple TCP connections between the same client and the server. Which one is that?
- HTTP, FTP
- HTTP, TELNET
- FTP, SMTP
- HTTP, SMTP
My attempt:
SMTP: only one TCP connection
Telnet: only one TCP connection
HTTP: Multiple connections can be used for each resource
FTP: FTP uses Telnet protocol for Control info on a TCP connection and another TCP connection for data exchange
HTTP may use different TCP connection for different objects of a webpage if non-persistent connections are used. FTP uses two TCP connections, one for data and another control.
So , option (1) is true .
Can you explain it in a formal way, please?
