Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

TCP Connect

The TCP Connect operation (type 5) attempts to establish a TCP connection to a specified port. Success indicates the service is reachable; failure indicates a problem.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • UDP Jitter

    Why it's wrong here

    UDP Jitter does not use TCP.

  • TCP Connect

    Why this is correct

    Correct. TCP Connect performs a TCP three-way handshake to test service availability.

  • ICMP Echo

    Why it's wrong here

    ICMP Echo tests IP connectivity, not a specific TCP service.

  • HTTP

    Why it's wrong here

    HTTP uses TCP but is specifically for HTTP GET requests, not a generic TCP test.

Visual reference

Client Server SYN (seq=100) SYN-ACK (seq=200, ack=101) ACK (ack=201) Connection established — data transfer begins
