Advanced Networking Skills Assessment Quiz

The Data Link layer consists of two sublayers: MAC (Media Access Control) and LLC (Logical Link Control). These two sublayers work together to provide functions such as framing, addressing, and error detection.

Port 23 is commonly associated with the Telnet protocol, which is used for two-way interactive communication between computers over a network.

Port 110 is used for the POP3 (Post Office Protocol) which is used for retrieving emails. Port 25 is used for SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), port 80 is used for HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol), and port 143 is used for IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol).

Well-known ports are port numbers from 0 through 1023, which are reserved for services by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and are commonly used by system processes that provide widely used types of network services.

The Presentation layer is responsible for data compression within the OSI model. The Transport layer is responsible for end-to-end communication, the Application layer deals with user interfaces, and the Network layer handles routing and forwarding of data packets.

Windowing is a flow control method in networking where the sender can adjust the amount of data it sends based on acknowledgments from the receiver. Sliding is not a flow control method. Fragmentation refers to breaking up data packets into smaller pieces for transmission. Congestion control is a separate concept from flow control.

HTTPS typically uses port 443 for secure communication, while HTTP uses port 80. Port 8080 is commonly used for alternative HTTP traffic, and 8443 is sometimes used for HTTPS traffic as well.

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) uses ports 20 and 21 for data transfer and control, respectively. Ports 22/23 are associated with Secure Shell (SSH) and Telnet, ports 53/80 are associated with DNS and HTTP, and ports 110/143 are associated with POP3 and IMAP, not FTP.

Application layer protocols are identified by a unique port number, which helps in distinguishing between different services running on a system. Ports are used to map specific communication endpoints within a network, allowing multiple network services to run simultaneously.

Frequency Division Multiplexing involves dividing the frequency spectrum of the medium into separate channels for data transmission. Time Division Multiplexing divides the time into slots for different data streams, Space Division Multiplexing uses different physical paths for each data stream, and Code Division Multiplexing uses unique codes to separate different data streams in the same frequency band.

The TCP/IP Stack is the networking model that was created by the Department of Defense (DoD) and is commonly used by developers. The OSI Model, Ethernet Model, and Token Ring Model are also networking models, but they are not the specific model developed by the DoD.

The Network Layer is responsible for logical addressing and routing of data packets between different networks, making it the layer primarily concerned with forwarding data based on logical addresses.

The Session Layer of the OSI model is responsible for setting up, maintaining, and tearing down sessions between communicating nodes.

Multiplexing is the method of combining multiple data streams into one signal for transmission over a shared medium.

The Data-link layer is responsible for the node-to-node delivery of data. It provides error detection and correction functionalities, as well as framing and physical addressing.

The data link layer is responsible for the tasks mentioned in the question. The physical layer deals with the physical connection of devices, the network layer focuses on routing packets between different networks, and the transport layer ensures end-to-end communication and error recovery in data transmission.

The Internet layer in the TCP/IP stack corresponds to the network layer in the OSI model and is responsible for routing IP packets through networks.

The Data link layer of the OSI reference model contains the MAC (Media Access Control) and LLC (Logical Link Control) sublayers that are responsible for addressing and transmitting data over the physical network.

The correct answer is 'Broadband' as it refers to using a wide range of frequencies to transmit data, consuming all available frequencies on a medium. Narrowband, Wavelength Division Multiplexing, and Wireless Fidelity do not consume all available frequencies.

IP addresses are typically associated with the Network layer of the OSI reference model, where routing and addressing take place.

UDP is a connectionless transport layer protocol that is commonly used for applications such as video streaming and online gaming. Unlike TCP, UDP does not establish a connection before sending data, making it faster but less reliable.

The correct layers in the TCP/IP stack are Transport layer, Internet layer, Application layer, and Network interface layer.

SSH (Secure Shell) is a protocol used for secure network communication. FTP (File Transfer Protocol), Telnet, and HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) do not provide the same level of security as SSH when connecting to a remote host.

NTP (Network Time Protocol) uses UDP port number 123 for communication. Option 53 is for DNS, option 161 is for SNMP, and option 8080 is commonly used for HTTP proxy servers.

The correct answer includes SMTP, POP3, and IMAP4, which are all protocols specifically designed for managing emails. FTP, HTTP, and SSH are not email protocols, they are protocols used for file transfer, web browsing, and secure shell connections respectively.

The correct TCP port used by IMAP is 143. Port 80 is commonly used for HTTP, port 25 for SMTP, and port 110 for POP3.

Port 143 is traditionally used for the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) in email communication.
