Assignment 01 Communicating Over the Network -Networking I Chapter 02
- In theory, a network communication could be sent as one continuous stream of 1’s and 0’s. A better approach is called:
- Compression
- Segmentation
- Multi-address
- Attenuation
- Segmentation improves the reliability of a network. Which of the following best describes those improvements?
- Separate pieces of each message can travel across different paths to a destination.
- If a path fails or becomes congested, an alternate path can be used.
- If part of the message fails to make it to the destination, only the missing parts need to be retransmitted.
- All of the above.
- A group of computers are connected in a multi-story building. This would be considered what type of network?
- LAN
- MAN
- SAN
- WAN
- A group of computers in Vancouver are connected to another group of computers in Windsor. This would be considered what type of network?
- LAN
- MAN
- SAN
- WAN
- Of the following list, which items are governed by protocols?
- The format of the message.
- The method by which networking devices share information.
- The setup of data transfer sessions.
- All of the above.
- Which of the following statements are true? (Choose Two.)
- A protocol suite cannot function without a set of standards.
- Each protocol involved in a transmission works alone with no dependency on other protocols in the suite.
- The sending of error or status messages is a function exclusive to the network hardware.
- Protocols describe what is to be done to communicate,
- One of the TCP/IP model layers provides the operating environment for drivers for software applications, modems and other devices. Which one is it?
- Internet
- Network Access
- Transport
- Application
- Which of the following are considered end devices in a network? (Choose Four)
- Router
- Workstation
- Firewall
- Switch
- PDA
- IP telephone
- Hub
- Printer
- Which layer of the TCP/IP model performs the function of the Network Layer in the OSI Model?
- Internet
- Network Access
- Transport
- Application
- A purpose of the OSI model is to provide which of the following?
- A standard for the software/networking industry.
- A standard for the hardware/networking industry.
- A reference for network users and administrators.
- All of the above
- Using the number beside the layer name as your answer, match the layer of the TCP/IP Reference Model to the description of the layer’s function.
