Which two statements about a TCP session in SYN_SENT state are correct?

A TCP session in the SYN_SENT state indicates that the device has sent a synchronization (SYN) packet to establish a TCP connection but is still waiting for a response from the other party, specifically an acknowledgment (ACK).

The statement indicating that this session terminates or originates in the FortiGate device is accurate because the FortiGate is acting on behalf of an initiating connection attempt. In the SYN_SENT state, the device has taken the role of the initiator in the TCP handshake process, indicating it has generated the initial SYN packet necessary to start establishing a connection with a target device.

When in this state, the session has not yet been fully established, as it relies on receiving a response from the other participant in the session (an ACK in response to its SYN) to proceed toward the connection being established. This further suggests that the connection is not yet secured or closed, reinforcing the context of what a TCP session in SYN_SENT entails.
