    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 Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) socket is a 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. This allows the process to establish a connection with another process on a different machine and exchange data over the network. The port number identifies the specific process or service on the machine, while the IP address identifies the machine itself. By using this combination, the TCP socket enables communication between different processes on different machines within a network.

    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 in an IP datagram allows IP to detect datagrams with corrupted headers and discard them. The header checksum is a value calculated from the bits in the header, and it is used to verify the integrity of the header. If the checksum does not match the calculated value, it indicates that the header has been corrupted during transmission and the datagram is discarded to prevent further processing with potentially incorrect information.

    Which classes allow for a maximum of 254 hosts per network?

    • A.

      Class A address

    • B.

      Class B address

    • C.

      Class C address

    • D.

      Class D address

    Correct Answer
    C. Class C address
    Explanation
    Class C addresses allow for a maximum of 254 hosts per network. In the classful addressing system, Class C addresses have a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, which means that the network portion of the address is made up of the first three octets, while the last octet is reserved for host addresses. Since there are 8 bits available for host addresses in the last octet, we can have a maximum of 2^8 - 2 = 254 hosts per network.

    • A.

      Class A address

    • B.

      Class B address

    • C.

      Class C address

    • D.

      Class D address

    Correct Answer
    D. Class D address
    Explanation
    Class D address is reserved for multicast addressing. Multicast addressing is a method of sending a message to a group of hosts on a network. In contrast to unicast (one-to-one) and broadcast (one-to-all) addressing, multicast allows for one-to-many or many-to-many communication. Class D addresses have their first four bits set to 1 1 1 0, which falls within the range of 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. These addresses are used for multicast group identification.

    • D.

      Reduce Random Access Memory (RAM) access time to stored data

    Correct Answer
    C. Reduce central processing unit (CPU) access time to stored data
    Explanation
    The main purpose of system cache is to reduce central processing unit (CPU) access time to stored data. System cache is a small and fast memory that stores frequently accessed data from the main memory (RAM). By keeping this data in the cache, the CPU can access it more quickly, which helps to improve overall system performance. This reduces the need for the CPU to fetch data from the slower main memory, resulting in faster processing times.
