单选题 选出应填入下面一段英语中______内的正确答案。
   TCP functions at the Open System Interconnection (OSl) (1) layer, or Layer 4. Its chief responsibility is to ensure (2) end-to-end connectivity. IP, located one layer down, at the OSI network layer, or Layer 3,communicates the addresses of each (3) sender and receiver to the routers along the way. Routers and Layer 3 switches can read IP and other Layer 3 (4) . This information, combined with routing tables and other network intelligence, is all it takes to get (5) the room or around the world via TCP/IP.
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】这里指出了Layer 4,即第四层,也就是传输层,此处应选D。
   [参考译文]TCP工作在开放式系统互联参考模型的传输层,即第四层。它的作用是确保端对端的可靠连接。下一层的IP在开放式系统互联参考模型的网络层,即第三层。把包发送者和接收者的地址通过路线传输给路由器。路由器和第三层交换机可以读lP和其他第三层协议。这些信息与路由表和其他网络智能相结合,就是它通过TCP/IP跨越空间或周游世界。
