    This communication mode Is used for connectionless communication in which a session is not needed. It also is used for any broadcast by NetBIOS. It does not support error detection and correction services, which are therefore the responsibility of the application using NetBIOS.

    Explanation
    Datagram mode is a communication mode that is used for connectionless communication, meaning that a session is not required. It is also used for any broadcast by NetBIOS. In this mode, error detection and correction services are not supported, so the responsibility of ensuring data integrity falls on the application using NetBIOS. Therefore, the correct answer is Datagram mode.

    _____________ communication is a form of communication in which the sending system does not “introduce” itself—it just fires the data off. Also, the destination computer does not notify the source when the information is received. This type of communication can be unreliable because there is no notification to guarantee delivery. It can be faster than the other type of communication because the overhead of managing the session is not there, and after the information is sent, there is no second step to ensure proper receipt of information.

    Explanation
    Connectionless communication is a form of communication where the sending system does not identify itself and simply transmits the data without any acknowledgment from the destination computer. This type of communication can be unreliable as there is no guarantee of delivery. However, it can be faster than connection-oriented communication because there is no overhead of managing the session and no need for a second step to ensure proper receipt of information. Therefore, the correct answer is "Connectionless."

    UDP is an example of a transport protocol responsible for:

    • Reliable delivery

    • Unreliable delivery

    Correct Answer
    A. Unreliable delivery
    Explanation
    UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a transport protocol that provides unreliable delivery of data. Unlike TCP, UDP does not guarantee that the data will be delivered successfully or in the correct order. It is a connectionless protocol that does not establish a dedicated connection before sending data. UDP is commonly used for applications that prioritize speed and efficiency over reliability, such as streaming media, online gaming, and DNS. Since it does not have the overhead of error checking and retransmission, UDP can deliver data with lower latency, but it also means that data may be lost or arrive out of order.

    • Network

    • Data Link

    • Physical

    Correct Answer
    A. Application
    Explanation
    The FTP, SMTP, and Telnet protocols are all application layer protocols. The application layer is responsible for providing network services to user applications. These protocols allow users to access and transfer files (FTP), send and receive emails (SMTP), and remotely log into and control a computer (Telnet). Therefore, these protocols run in the application layer of the OSI model.

    Which OSI layer does the TCP, UDP, SPX, and IPX protocols run in?

    • Application

    • Presentation

    • Session

    • Transport

    • Network

    • Data Link

    • Physical

    Correct Answer
    A. Transport
    Explanation
    TCP, UDP, SPX, and IPX protocols run in the Transport layer of the OSI model. The Transport layer is responsible for the end-to-end delivery of data between hosts and provides reliable or unreliable delivery of data packets. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a reliable protocol that ensures the delivery and sequencing of data packets, while UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is an unreliable protocol that does not guarantee the delivery of data packets. SPX (Sequenced Packet Exchange) and IPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange) are protocols used in Novell NetWare networks. All of these protocols operate at the Transport layer for communication between applications on different hosts.

    2 - Which network protocol did Novell develop for use in its networking environment?

    • IPX/SPX

    • TCP/IP

    • NetBEUI

    • DLC

    Correct Answer
    A. IPX/SPX
    Explanation
    Novell developed the IPX/SPX network protocol for use in its networking environment. IPX/SPX stands for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange, and it was the primary protocol used by Novell NetWare, a popular network operating system in the 1980s and 1990s. IPX/SPX provided reliable and connection-oriented communication between network devices, making it suitable for Novell's networking environment. TCP/IP and NetBEUI are also network protocols, but they were not specifically developed by Novell. DLC (Data Link Control) is a protocol used in IBM's Systems Network Architecture (SNA) and is not related to Novell's networking environment.
