1. What is a common device used to divide/break up a broadcast domain into smaller broadcast domains?
Next hop - metric and destination network. Routers do not need source address - last hop - or default gateway to find a path to the network.

TCP
Dynamic / private
TCP uses flow control
3. What is the port range for Registered ports
TFTP - Trivial File Transfer Protocol
Maximum transmission unit
1024 - 49151. Unlike ports with lower numbers - developers of new TCP/UDP services can select a specific number to register with IANA rather than having a number assigned to them. Using registered ports also avoids the additional security restriction
Destination device is there - Figures out if it has an active service running and is accepting requests on the right port - Tells the destination device that it wants to communicate on said port
4. The three-way handshake performs what three functions?
It means ensuring that each segment that the source sends arrives at the destination
2nd and third choices are correct--TCP is reliable and connection-oriented. IP is the one that's unreliable and connectionless. IP operates at the network layer.
