[Answers ccna] Why are port numbers included in the TCP header of a segment?
* to enable a receiving host to forward the data to the appropriate application
* to identify which switch ports should receive or forward the segment
* to allow the receiving host to assemble the packet in the proper order
* to determine which Layer 3 protocol should be used to encapsulate the data
* to indicate the correct router interface that should be used to forward a segment
