Does the IP address appear in the TCP header? Why or why not?

Solution

TCP doesn\'t contain IP address as it only transport protocol.It requires underlying network layer protocol to find the source or destination.Tcp only contains 16-bit source and destination ports to identify the application on either host to which data has to be transported.32-bit IP address is present in attached IP packet for security purposes.
