1. In a CSMA/CD collision domain, multiple stations can successfully transmit data
simultaneously.
2. In a CSMA/CD collision domain, stations must wait until the media is not in use

6. What are the two types of transmission technology available?

(i) Broadcast and (ii) point-to-point
7. What is subnet?
A generic term for section of a large networks usually separated by a bridge or router.
8. Difference between the communication and transmission.

synchronisation, clock etc.
Communication means the meaning full exchange of information between two
communication media.
9. What are the possible ways of data exchange?
(i) Simplex (ii) Half-duplex (iii) Full-duplex.
10. What is SAP?
Series of interface points that allow other computers to communicate with the other layers of
network protocol stack.
11. What do you meant by "triple X" in Networks?
The function of PAD (Packet Assembler Disassembler) is described in a document known as
X.3. The standard protocol has been defined between the terminal and the PAD, called X.28;
another standard protocol exists between hte PAD and the network, called X.29. Together,
these three recommendations are often called "triple X".

12. What is packet filter?

Packet filter is a standard router equipped with some extra functionality. The extra
functionality allows every incoming or outgoing packet to be inspected. Packets meeting
some criterion are forwarded normally. Those that fail the test are dropped.

13. What is traffic shaping?

One of the main causes of congestion is that traffic is often busy. If hosts could be made to
transmit at a uniform rate, congestion would be less common. Another open loop method to
help manage congestion is forcing the packet to be transmitted at a more predictable rate.
This is called traffic shaping.
14. What is multicast routing?
Sending a message to a group is called multicasting, and its routing algorithm is called
multicast routing.
15. What is region?
When hierarchical routing is used, the routers are divided into what we will call regions, with
each router knowing all the details about how to route packets to destinations within its own
region, but knowing nothing about the internal structure of other regions.
16. What is silly window syndrome?
It is a problem that can ruin TCP performance. This problem occurs when data are passed to
the sending TCP entity in large blocks, but an interactive application on the receiving side
reads 1 byte at a time.
17. What are Digrams and Trigrams?
The most common two letter combinations are called as digrams. e.g. th, in, er, re and an.
The most common three letter combinations are called as trigrams. e.g. the, ing, and, and ion.
18. What is Proxy ARP?
It is using a router to answer ARP requests. This will be done when the originating host
believes that a destination is local, when in fact is lies beyond router.
19. What is SLIP (Serial Line Interface Protocol)?
It is a very simple protocol used for transmission of IP datagrams across a serial line.
20. What is RIP (Routing Information Protocol)?
It is a simple protocol used to exchange information between the routers.
21. What is source route?
It is a sequence of IP addresses identifying the route a datagram must follow. A source route
may optionally be included in an IP datagram header.

Answer = A
5 .What is classless addressing?
In classless addressing, there are variable-length blocks that belong to no class. The entire
address space is divided into blocks based on organization needs.
6. What is Encapsulation and De-capsulation ?
To send a message from one application program to another, the TCP/UDP protocol
encapsulates and de-capsulate messages.
7. What is Multiplexing and De-multiplexing?
In the TCP/IP protocol suite, there is one TCP but there are several application programs that
may want to use its services. To handle this situation TCP does multiplexing and demultiplexing.
8. Explain buffering?
TCP creates sending and receiving buffers for each connection. TCP uses a buffer to store the
stream of data coming from the sending application program. The receiving TCP also buffer data
when
they arrive and deliver them to the application program.
9. What is connection establishment?
TCP transmit data in full-duplex mode, when two TCPs in two machines are connected they

are able to send segments to each other simultaneously. This implies that each party must
initialize
communication and get approval from the other party before any data transfer is called
connection
establishment.
10. What is connection termination?
Any of the two parties involved in exchanging data can close the connection. When connection
in one direction is terminated, the other party can continue sending data in the other direction.
Therefore both machines are needed to close the connection in both direction.
11.What is classless addressing?
In classless addressing, there are variable-length blocks that belong to no class. The entire
address space is divided into blocks based on organization needs.
12. What is root server?
A root server is a server whose zone consists of the whole tree. A root server usually does not
store any information about domains but delegates its authority to other servers, keeping
references to
those servers.
13. What is simple mail transfer protocol?
The TCP/IP protocol that supports electronic mail on the internet is called Simple Mail
Transfer Protocol (SMTP). It is a system for sending messages to other computer users based on
email
addresses.
14. What is User Agent?
A user Agent is defined in SMTP, but the implementation details are not. The UA is normally a
program used to send and receive mail. Popular user agent programs are MH, Berkeley Mail,
Elm,
Zmail, and Mush.

15. What is Mail Transfer Agent?

The actual mail transfer is done through mail transfer agents (MTAs). To send mail, a system
must have the client MTA, and to receive mail, a system must have a server MTA.
16. Describe mail address.
The mail address consists of two parts: a local address (user mailbox) and a domain name. The
form is localname@domainname
17. What are steps to transfer a mail message?
The steps in transferring a mail message are
a) Connection establishment
b) Mail transfer
c) Connection termination
18. What is MIME?
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) is an extension of SMTP that allows the transfer.
19. What is ISOC?
The Internet Society (ISOC) promotes research and other scholarly activities relating
to the Internet.
20. Who is IAB?
The Internet Architecture Board (lAB) is the technical advisor to the ISOC.

Unit-7
APPLICATION LAYER

1. What is the purpose of client-server model?

The purpose of a network, or an internetwork is to provide services to end users. A user at a local
site wants to receive a service from a computer at a remote site. To achieve this a computer runs
aprogram to request a service from another program and also provide service to another
computer. Thismeans that two computer connected by an internet, must each run a program, one
to provide a serviceand one to request a service.
2. What is concurrency in server?
A concurrent server can process many request at the same time and can share its time between
many request.
3. What is BOOTP?
BOOTSTRAP Protocol is a client/server protocol designed to provide the following four
information for a diskless computer or a computer that is booted for the first time.
IP address, Subnet mask, IP address of a router, IP address of a name server.
4. What is DHCP?
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol has been derived to provide dynamic configuration.
DHCP is also needed when a host moves from network to network or is connected and
disconnected
from a network.
5. What is DNS?
Domain name service is the method by which Internet address in mnemonic form such as

andapplication process this translation is a service provided either by the local host or from the
remote host via the Internet. The DNS server may communicate with other internet DNS server
if it cannot translate the address itself.

An IP package can consist of the following: a header-adding module, a processing module, a
routing module, a fragmentation module, a reassembly module, a routing table, an MTU table,
and a
reassembly table.
14. Why do we need subnetting of a network?
Subnetting divides one large network into several smaller ones
15. What is the format of UDP packet?Explain.
