    Which transport layer protocol provides low overhead and would be used for applications which do not require reliable data delivery?

    • UDP

    • IP

    • TCP

    • HTTP

    • DNS

    Correct Answer
    A. UDP
    Explanation
    UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a transport layer protocol that provides low overhead and is used for applications that do not require reliable data delivery. Unlike TCP, UDP does not establish a connection or provide error checking and retransmission of lost packets. It is commonly used for real-time applications such as streaming media, online gaming, and VoIP, where a small amount of data loss is acceptable in exchange for reduced latency and faster transmission. UDP is also used for DNS (Domain Name System) queries, where speed and efficiency are prioritized over reliability.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Which information is found in both the TCP and UDP header information?

    • Sequencing

    • Flow control

    • Acknowledgments

    • Source and destination

    Correct Answer
    A. Source and destination
    Explanation
    Both TCP and UDP headers contain information about the source and destination of the data being transmitted. This information is crucial for establishing a connection between the sender and receiver and ensuring that the data reaches the intended destination. The source and destination addresses are used to route the data packets across the network, allowing for successful communication between devices.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    During a TCP communication session, if the packets arrive to the destination out of order, what will happen to the original message?

    • The packets will not be delivered.

    • The packets will be retransmitted from the source.

    • The packets will be delivered and reassembled at the destination.

    • The packets will be delivered and not reassembled at the destination.

    Correct Answer
    A. The packets will be delivered and reassembled at the destination.
    Explanation
    When packets arrive out of order during a TCP communication session, they are reassembled at the destination. TCP uses sequence numbers to ensure that packets are delivered in the correct order. If packets arrive out of order, the destination device will use these sequence numbers to rearrange them and reconstruct the original message. This ensures that the message is delivered correctly, even if the packets arrive in a different order than they were sent.

  • 5. 

    Which OSI model layer is responsible for regulating the flow of information from source to destination, reliably and accurately?

    • Application

    • Presentation

    • Session

    • Transport

    • Network

    Correct Answer
    A. Transport
    Explanation
    The transport layer is responsible for regulating the flow of information from source to destination, reliably and accurately. This layer ensures that data is delivered in the correct order, without errors or loss, by providing mechanisms such as error detection and correction, flow control, and sequencing. It also handles segmentation and reassembly of data packets, allowing large amounts of data to be broken down into smaller, manageable units for transmission.

    Refer to the exhibit. Host A is using FTP to download a large file from Server 1. During the download process, Server 1 does not receive an acknowledgment from Host A for several bytes of transferred data. What action will Server 1 take as a result? - ProProfs

    Refer to the exhibit. Host A is using FTP to download a large file from Server 1. During the download process, Server 1 does not receive an acknowledgment from Host A for several bytes of transferred data. What action will Server 1 take as a result?

    • Create a Layer 1 jam signal

    • Reach a timeout and resend the data that needs to be acknowledged

    • Send a RESET bit to the host

    • Change the window size in the Layer 4 header

    Correct Answer
    A. Reach a timeout and resend the data that needs to be acknowledged
    Explanation
    If Server 1 does not receive an acknowledgment from Host A for several bytes of transferred data, it indicates that the data may have been lost or not received properly. In this case, Server 1 will reach a timeout and resend the data that needs to be acknowledged. This is a common error recovery mechanism in networking protocols, where if an acknowledgment is not received within a certain time frame, the sender assumes that the data was not received and retransmits it to ensure successful delivery.

  • 7. 

    After a web browser makes a request to a web server that is listening to the standard port, what will be the source port number in the TCP header of the response from the server?

    • 13

    • 53

    • 80

    • 1024

    • 1728

    Correct Answer
    A. 80
    Explanation
    When a web browser makes a request to a web server listening on the standard port, the source port number in the TCP header of the response from the server will be 80. The source port number is used to identify the sending application or process, and in this case, port 80 is the default port for HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) which is used for web communication. Therefore, the response from the server will have a source port number of 80.

    Which is an important characteristic of UDP?

    • Acknowledgement of data delivery

    • Minimal delays in data delivery

    • High reliability of data delivery

    • Same order data delivery

    Correct Answer
    A. Minimal delays in data delivery
    Explanation
    UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless protocol that operates at the transport layer of the internet protocol suite. Unlike TCP, UDP does not provide acknowledgement of data delivery, high reliability, or same order data delivery. However, one important characteristic of UDP is minimal delays in data delivery. This means that UDP prioritizes speed over reliability, making it suitable for applications that require real-time data transmission, such as streaming media or online gaming.

     Refer to the exhibit. In line 7 of this Wireshark capture, what TCP operation is being performed? - ProProfs

     Refer to the exhibit. In line 7 of this Wireshark capture, what TCP operation is being performed?

    • Session establishment

    • Segment retransmit

    • Data transfer

    • Session disconnect

    Correct Answer
    A. Session establishment
    Explanation
    In line 7 of the Wireshark capture, the TCP operation being performed is session establishment. This can be inferred from the fact that the TCP handshake process is taking place, which includes the SYN and ACK flags being exchanged between the source and destination IP addresses. This initial exchange is necessary for establishing a connection between the two endpoints before any data transfer can occur.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Why is flow control used for TCP data transfer?

    • To synchronize equipment speed for sent data

    • To synchronize and order sequence numbers so data is sent in complete numerical order

    • To prevent the receiver from being overwhelmed by incoming data

    • To synchronize window size on the server

    • To simplify data transfer to multiple hosts

    Correct Answer
    A. To prevent the receiver from being overwhelmed by incoming data
    Explanation
    Flow control is used in TCP data transfer to prevent the receiver from being overwhelmed by incoming data. This is achieved by regulating the rate at which data is sent from the sender to the receiver. By using flow control mechanisms, the receiver can inform the sender about its current capacity to receive data, allowing the sender to adjust its transmission rate accordingly. This ensures that the receiver can handle the incoming data without being overloaded, preventing data loss and ensuring reliable delivery.

    What is dynamically selected by the source host when forwarding data?

    • Destination logical address

    • Source physical address

    • Default gateway address

    • Source port

    Correct Answer
    A. Source port
    Explanation
    The source host dynamically selects the source port when forwarding data. The source port is a number that helps identify which application or process on the source host is sending the data. It is randomly assigned by the operating system and is used in conjunction with the destination port to establish a connection between the source and destination hosts.

    Refer to the exhibit. Host1 is in the process of setting up a TCP session with Host2. Host1 has sent a SYN message to begin session establishment. What happens next? - ProProfs

    Refer to the exhibit. Host1 is in the process of setting up a TCP session with Host2. Host1 has sent a SYN message to begin session establishment. What happens next?

    • Host1 sends a segment with the ACK flag = 0, SYN flag = 0 to Host2.

    • Host1 sends a segment with the ACK flag = 1, SYN flag = 0 to Host2.

    • Host1 sends a segment with the ACK flag = 1, SYN flag = 1 to Host2.

    • Host2 sends a segment with the ACK flag = 0, SYN flag = 1 to Host1.

    • Host2 sends a segment with the ACK flag = 1, SYN flag = 0 to Host1.

    • Host2 sends a segment with the ACK flag = 1, SYN flag = 1 to Host1.

    Correct Answer
    A. Host2 sends a segment with the ACK flag = 1, SYN flag = 1 to Host1.
    Explanation
    After receiving the SYN message from Host1, Host2 will respond by sending a segment with the ACK flag set to 1 and the SYN flag set to 1. This segment is known as a SYN-ACK segment and is used to acknowledge the receipt of the SYN message from Host1 and to initiate the session establishment process. The ACK flag being set to 1 indicates that Host2 acknowledges the receipt of the SYN message, and the SYN flag being set to 1 indicates that Host2 is also requesting to establish a session with Host1.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Why are port numbers included in the TCP header of a segment?

    • To indicate the correct router interface that should be used to forward a segment

    • To identify which switch ports should receive or forward the segment

    • To determine which Layer 3 protocol should be used to encapsulate the data

    • To enable a receiving host to forward the data to the appropriate application

    • To allow the receiving host to assemble the packet in the proper order

    Correct Answer
    A. To enable a receiving host to forward the data to the appropriate application
    Explanation
    Port numbers are included in the TCP header of a segment to enable a receiving host to forward the data to the appropriate application. Each application running on a host is assigned a unique port number, and by including this information in the TCP header, the receiving host knows which application should receive the data. This allows for proper delivery and processing of the data by the intended application.

    What are two features of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP)? (Choose two.)

    • Flow control

    • Low overhead

    • Connectionless

    • Connection-oriented

    • Sequence and acknowledgements

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Low overhead
    A. Connectionless
    Explanation
    UDP has two main features: low overhead and connectionless.

    Low overhead refers to the fact that UDP does not have the additional protocols and mechanisms for error recovery and flow control that are present in connection-oriented protocols like TCP. This results in less processing and memory usage, making UDP a lightweight protocol.

    Connectionless means that UDP does not establish a dedicated connection before transmitting data. Instead, it simply sends data packets without any prior setup. This makes UDP faster and more efficient for applications that do not require reliable and ordered delivery of data.

    Therefore, the correct answer is low overhead and connectionless.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    What mechanism is used by TCP to provide flow control as segments travel from source to destination?

    • Sequence numbers

    • Session establishment

    • Window size

    • Acknowledgments

    Correct Answer
    A. Window size
    Explanation
    TCP uses the mechanism of window size to provide flow control as segments travel from source to destination. The window size represents the amount of data that the receiving end can accept before it needs the sender to pause and wait for acknowledgment. By adjusting the window size, TCP ensures that the sender does not overwhelm the receiver with data, preventing congestion and ensuring efficient data transfer.
