Q: Traffic on a network may be routed by nodes to a variety of receiving services. What in the transport layer provide this capability?
- Socket address
- Multiplexing
- Demultiplexing
- File Transfer
Explanation: Through the process of multiplexing, it is possible to combine numerous signals or data streams into a single signal or stream. This allows for more effective use of the network and the routing of traffic to the appropriate services depending on the ports and protocols that are in use.
