      Protocol access to the physical network medium.

    • D.

      Protocol access to the links of a network.

    Correct Answer
    C. Protocol access to the physical network medium.
    Explanation
    The media access control (MAC) sublayer of the data link layer manages the protocol access to the physical network medium. This means that it controls how devices on a network access and use the physical transmission medium, such as Ethernet cables or wireless frequencies, to send and receive data. The MAC sublayer is responsible for ensuring that multiple devices can share the same medium without interfering with each other, by implementing techniques such as collision detection or token passing.

    • D.

      When the central node point fails, large portions of the network become isolated.

    Correct Answer
    D. When the central node point fails, large portions of the network become isolated.
    Explanation
    When star networks are interconnected, they rely on a central node point to facilitate communication between the different networks. If this central node point fails, it can lead to large portions of the network becoming isolated, meaning that communication between those portions will be disrupted. This can have a negative effect on the overall functionality and efficiency of the interconnected star networks.

    Correct Answer
    C. Combination of a port number and Internet Protocol (IP) address used by a process to request network services and passes as an argument between layers.
    Explanation
    A TCP socket is a combination of a port number and an IP address that is used by a process to request network services and is passed as an argument between layers. This allows the process to establish a connection with another process on a different machine and communicate over the network. The port number identifies the specific process or service on the receiving machine, while the IP address identifies the specific machine. By combining these two pieces of information, the TCP socket allows for the establishment of a reliable and secure network connection.

    What portion of the Internet Protocol (IP) Datagram (packet) allows IP to detect datagrams with corrupted headers and discard them? 

    • A.

      Version Identification.

    • B.

      Header Checksum.

    • C.

      Time to Live.

    • D.

      Flags.

    Correct Answer
    B. Header Checksum.
    Explanation
    The header checksum portion of the Internet Protocol (IP) Datagram allows IP to detect datagrams with corrupted headers and discard them. The header checksum is a value calculated by the sender that is based on the contents of the IP header. When the datagram reaches its destination, the receiver recalculates the checksum using the received header and compares it to the original checksum. If they do not match, it indicates that the header has been corrupted during transmission, and the datagram is discarded. This ensures the integrity of the IP header and helps to prevent the delivery of corrupted or tampered data.
