Transmission control firmware is software stored on a chip in the NIC that enables packets and frames to be correctly formatted for a specific protocol, for example, TCP/IP.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transmission control firmware is not specifically related to the NIC (Network Interface Card) for formatting packets and frames for protocols like TCP/IP. Instead, the NIC's firmware facilitates communication between the computer and a network, while protocol handling like TCP/IP is managed by the operating system's networking stack.
