Submit
43. 210. What are the two classifications of transport protocols? 

Explanation

The two classifications of transport protocols are connection-oriented and connectionless-oriented. Connection-oriented protocols establish a dedicated communication path between the sender and receiver before data transmission, ensuring reliable delivery and error detection. Examples of connection-oriented protocols include TCP (Transmission Control Protocol). On the other hand, connectionless-oriented protocols do not establish a dedicated path and do not guarantee reliable delivery. They simply send data packets independently, without any acknowledgment or error checking. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is an example of a connectionless-oriented protocol.

Submit
44. 234. What provides a transmission path capable of secure video/data within the defense intelligence community?

Keeping records associated with the equipment throughout its life cycle helps in tracking its history, performance, and any necessary maintenance or repairs.

Submit
47. 211. What are the two methods of subnet masking? 

Explanation

The correct answer is Classful and Classless. Subnet masking is a technique used in computer networking to divide an IP address into two parts: the network address and the host address. Classful subnet masking is an older method that divides IP addresses into classes (A, B, C, etc.) and assigns a default subnet mask based on the class. Classless subnet masking, on the other hand, allows for more flexibility by allowing the subnet mask to be of any length, not just the default values assigned by classful subnet masking.

Submit
64. 223. What are the two methods that encryption can be applied? 

Explanation

Encryption can be applied using two methods: Link by Link or End by End. Link by Link encryption involves encrypting the data at each individual link in a communication network, ensuring that the data remains secure throughout its transmission. End by End encryption, on the other hand, involves encrypting the data only at the endpoints of the communication, such as the sender and receiver. This method ensures that the data is protected during transmission, but may leave it vulnerable while it is being routed through the network.

Submit
