A device operating at the network layer is called a
-
Bridge
-
Router
-
Hub
Correct Answer
A. RouterExplanation
A device operating at the network layer is called a router. A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. It determines the best path for data transmission based on the destination IP address of the packets. Routers are responsible for directing traffic efficiently and securely across networks, allowing different networks to communicate with each other. Unlike bridges and hubs, routers have the ability to make intelligent decisions about how to route data, making them essential for connecting multiple networks together.Rate this question:

-
None of Above
Correct Answer
A. Connection orientedExplanation
The correct answer is "connection oriented." This means that the TCP protocol establishes a reliable and dedicated connection between the sender and receiver before data transmission occurs. This connection ensures that data is delivered in the correct order and without errors. TCP also guarantees that data packets are acknowledged and retransmitted if necessary, providing a reliable and ordered data transfer mechanism.Rate this question:
-
- 9.
_________ are rules that govern a communication exchange.
-
Media
-
Interfaces
-
Protocols
-
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. ProtocolsExplanation
Protocols are a set of rules that govern the exchange of information or communication between different devices or systems. They define the format, order, and error-checking procedures for transmitting data. Protocols ensure that communication is reliable, efficient, and standardized. Media refers to the channels through which data is transmitted, while interfaces are the physical or virtual connections between devices. While both media and interfaces are important in communication, protocols specifically define the rules and procedures for the exchange of information. Therefore, protocols are the correct answer in this context.Rate this question:

TELNET, FTP, SMTP, Protocols fall in the following layer of OSI reference model
-
Transport Layer
-
Internet Layer
-
Network Layer
-
Application Layer
Correct Answer
A. Application LayerExplanation
TELNET, FTP, and SMTP are all application layer protocols. The application layer is responsible for providing network services to user applications. These protocols are used for specific applications such as remote login (TELNET), file transfer (FTP), and email transfer (SMTP). The application layer protocols interact with the lower layers of the OSI reference model to establish communication between different systems on a network. Therefore, these protocols fall in the Application Layer of the OSI reference model.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Application layerExplanation
The TCP/IP layer is equivalent to the Application layer because it is responsible for providing network services to applications. This layer interacts directly with the end-user and is responsible for tasks such as data formatting, encryption, and authentication. The Application layer protocols include HTTP, FTP, SMTP, and DNS, which are all used by various applications to communicate over the network. Therefore, the TCP/IP layer corresponds to the Application layer.Rate this question:

Encryption and decryption are functions of
-
Transport layer
-
Session layer
-
Presentation layer
-
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. Presentation layerExplanation
Encryption and decryption are functions of the Presentation layer. The Presentation layer is responsible for the translation, compression, and encryption of data. Encryption is the process of converting plain text into a secret code to protect it from unauthorized access, while decryption is the reverse process of converting the encrypted code back into plain text. Therefore, the Presentation layer is the correct answer as it handles the encryption and decryption functions.Rate this question:

None of the mentioned
Correct Answer
A. End to endExplanation
The application layer offers end to end service. This means that it provides communication between the end users or applications on different hosts. It ensures that the data is delivered accurately and reliably from the source to the destination, without any loss or corruption. The application layer is responsible for managing the communication between the user and the network, and it provides services such as email, file transfer, and web browsing.Rate this question:
-
- 19.
UDP is ___________ protocol.
-
Connection oriented
-
Connectionless
-
Neither
Correct Answer
A. ConnectionlessExplanation
UDP is a connectionless protocol because it does not establish a dedicated connection between the sender and receiver before transmitting data. It operates by simply sending data packets without any acknowledgment or guarantee of delivery. This lack of connection establishment and reliability makes UDP a faster and more efficient protocol compared to connection-oriented protocols like TCP. However, it also means that UDP does not provide error checking or retransmission of lost packets, making it less reliable for certain types of applications that require guaranteed delivery.Rate this question:
