- D.
65.535
Correct Answer
D. 65.535Explanation
The maximum size for the Internet protocol is 65.535 bytes. This is because the Internet Protocol (IP) uses a 16-bit field to specify the size of the payload in each packet. Since 2^16 is equal to 65,536, subtracting one gives us a maximum size of 65,535 bytes.Rate this question:

What is the minimum packet size (in bytes) for the Internet protocol?
- A.
28
- B.
64
- C.
128
- D.
256
Correct Answer
A. 28Explanation
The minimum packet size for the Internet protocol is 28 bytes. This is because the IP header, which is a mandatory part of every IP packet, is 20 bytes in size. In addition to the header, there is an 8-byte payload, which is the minimum amount of data that can be transmitted in an IP packet. Therefore, the total minimum packet size is 28 bytes.Rate this question:

Over 60 percent of all network problems occur at what layers of the OSI model?
- A.
Data link and session
- B.
Data link and physical
- C.
Physical and transport
- D.
Sessions and media access control
Correct Answer
B. Data link and physicalExplanation
Over 60 percent of all network problems occur at the data link and physical layers of the OSI model. These layers are responsible for handling issues related to the physical transmission of data, such as problems with cables, connectors, and network interface cards. Additionally, the data link layer deals with error detection and correction, while the physical layer focuses on the actual transmission of bits over the network medium. Therefore, it is not surprising that a majority of network problems occur at these layers, as they involve the physical components and processes that can be prone to errors and failures.Rate this question:

What type of network problem(s) is caused by collisions on the domain?
- A.
Jabbers only
- B.
Inability to transmit
- C.
High utilization only
- D.
High utilization or jabbers
Correct Answer
D. High utilization or jabbersExplanation
Collisions on the domain can cause two types of network problems: high utilization and jabbers. High utilization occurs when the network becomes congested due to the collisions, resulting in slower data transmission and decreased overall network performance. Jabbers, on the other hand, refer to devices that transmit data for an unusually long time, causing excessive network traffic and potentially disrupting communication for other devices on the network. Therefore, collisions can lead to both high utilization and jabbering issues in a network.Rate this question:

Ideally the average network utilization value should be less tha?
- A.
20 percent
- B.
25 percent
- C.
30 percent
- D.
40 percent
Correct Answer
C. 30 percentExplanation
Ideally, the average network utilization value should be less than 30 percent. This is because network utilization refers to the percentage of the total available network capacity that is being used at a given time. Keeping the utilization below 30 percent ensures that there is enough bandwidth available for smooth and efficient network operations. Higher utilization levels can lead to congestion, slower data transfer speeds, and potential network failures. Therefore, maintaining a utilization value below 30 percent helps to optimize network performance and avoid performance issues.Rate this question:
