Question

Suppose a process in Host C has a UDP socket with port number 6789. Suppose both Host A and Host B each send a UDP segment to Host C with destination port number 6789. Will both of these segments be directed to the same socket at Host C

Answer 1

Yes, both of these segments (A and B) will be directed to the same socket at Host C .

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose both Host A and Host B each send a UDP segment to Host C with destination port number 6789, surely , both of these segments will be directed to the same socket at Host C .

Reason being that, the operating system will provide the process with the IP details to distinguish between the individual segments arriving at host C- for each of the segments (A and B) recieved at Host C.
