You need to send an e-valentine to your half sister in Utah. It's been uncomfortable because you hooked up the last time you saw her. You don't want to give your half sister the wrong impression, but you don't wanna let on to your mother that the relationship has gone beyond “i'll show you mine if you show me yours”. You want to use something that might fail, but at least shows that you made the effort. What protocol is NOT guaranteed to get the message there?
-
IP
-
TCP
-
UDP
-
NDS
-
DNS
Correct Answer
A. UDPExplanation
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is not guaranteed to get the message there because it is a connectionless protocol that does not provide reliability or error checking. It does not guarantee that the message will reach its destination or that it will be received in the correct order. In contrast, IP (Internet Protocol), TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), NDS (Novell Directory Services), and DNS (Domain Name System) provide mechanisms for reliable and ordered delivery of data.Rate this question:

What allows an organization to present itself to the Internet with far fewer IP addresses than there are nodes on its internal network. (choose all that apply)
-
NAT
-
Proxy server
-
Firewall
-
RAS
-
RDP
Correct Answer(s)
A. NAT
A. Proxy server
A. FirewallExplanation
NAT (Network Address Translation) allows an organization to present itself to the Internet with fewer IP addresses by translating internal private IP addresses to a single public IP address. This allows multiple devices on the internal network to share the same public IP address. A proxy server acts as an intermediary between clients and the Internet, allowing the organization to present itself with a single IP address while handling requests on behalf of the clients. A firewall filters network traffic and can also be used to hide internal IP addresses from the Internet. RAS (Remote Access Service) and RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) are not directly related to presenting an organization to the Internet with fewer IP addresses.Rate this question:
