TCP ensures that packets reach their destination.Would TCP still need to ensure delivery if the underlying network layer protocol (IP) guaranteed delivery?

What will be an ideal response?


Yes. Guaranteeing delivery on an IP level would only guarantee that the datagram was sent over a single link. Datagrams can be lost at a router because of congestion. TCP would still need to guarantee end-to-end delivery.
