Describe how the computers on each side of a session keep track of the status of the connection.

What will be an ideal response?


In TCP/IP, the session information (a combination of the IP address and port number) stored in RAM is called a socket or endpoint. When discussing the data each computer stores about the connection between two computers' TCP/IP applications, the term to use is socket pairs or endpoints. A session or connection refers to the connection in general, rather than anything specific to TCP/IP. Many people still use the term session, however.
