Question 1
1 pointPrompt
Which description best defines a networking model?
- AA single program that controls network traffic
- BA cable type used to connect devices
- CA comprehensive set of documents defining how a network should work
- DA device that forwards data between physical links
Question 2
1 pointPrompt
A company needs products from several vendors to work together without maintaining separate vendor-specific networks. Which choice best fits this requirement?
- AKeep a separate proprietary model for each vendor
- BUse a common open, vendor-neutral model such as TCP/IP
- CUse only a physical-layer standard without a networking model
- DUse one vendor’s model and expect all other vendors to adopt it
Question 3
1 pointPrompt
In networking, what is a protocol?
- AA physical connector used on a cable
- BA group of computers on one LAN
- CA device that routes packets
- DA set of logical rules devices follow to communicate
Question 4
1 pointPrompt
What is the primary role of TCP/IP application-layer protocols?
- AProvide network services needed by application software
- BForward packets based on destination IP addresses
- CAdd Ethernet headers and trailers to packets
- DEncode signals onto the transmission medium
Question 5
1 pointPrompt
A browser requests home.htm from a web server. Which sequence matches the described HTTP exchange?
- ABrowser sends HTTP GET; server sends HTTP OK with the first file part; server sends later file data without repeating the header
- BServer sends data-only content; browser sends HTTP GET; server sends HTTP OK
- CBrowser sends HTTP OK; server asks for the file; browser returns all data
- DServer sends all data first; browser then sends HTTP GET
Question 6
1 pointPrompt
A browser requests a web page, but one message carrying page data is lost. Which option correctly assigns the roles of HTTP and TCP?
- ATCP requests and returns the web page, while HTTP performs error recovery
- BIP retrieves the web page, while Ethernet tracks missing sequence numbers
- CThe data-link layer requests the file, while the physical layer returns the content
- DHTTP requests and returns web content, while TCP detects lost data and requests retransmission
Question 7
1 pointPrompt
A server sends TCP segments with sequence numbers 1, 2, and 3. A client receives segments 1 and 3 but not segment 2. What happens next?
- AThe client asks the sender to send segment 2 again
- BThe client asks the sender to send segment 1 again
- CThe client assumes segment 3 includes the missing data
- DThe client removes the TCP header from segment 3
Question 8
1 pointPrompt
Which example shows adjacent-layer interaction rather than same-layer interaction?
- ATCP on one computer uses sequence numbers to communicate with TCP on another computer
- BHTTP on one computer uses TCP on the same computer for error-recovery service
- CA router compares a destination IP address with known routes
- DA router removes an Ethernet header and trailer from a received frame
Question 9
1 pointPrompt
Which statement best compares the lower layers of the modern five-layer TCP/IP model with the OSI model?
- ATheir lower layers use different names and unrelated functions
- BTCP/IP divides its application layer into session, presentation, and application layers
- CTheir bottom four layers match in name, number, and general meaning
- DOSI is the networking model commonly used instead of TCP/IP today
Question 10
1 pointPrompt
In modern TCP/IP networking terminology, what does the phrase “Layer 7 protocol” generally refer to?
- AA physical-layer signaling protocol
- BAn application-layer protocol
- CA network-layer routing protocol
- DA data-link-layer framing protocol
Question 11
1 pointPrompt
What is an important purpose of IP addressing?
- ATo uniquely identify TCP/IP hosts in the network
- BTo request files from a web server
- CTo detect lost TCP segments
- DTo create Ethernet headers and trailers
Question 12
1 pointPrompt
Which comparison correctly describes what a sending host and a router do when forwarding an IP packet toward a remote destination?
- AThe host selects every router on the path, while the router only transmits electrical signals
- BThe host compares remote IP routes, while the router creates the HTTP response
- CThe host uses TCP sequence numbers for routing, while the router uses HTTP headers to choose the next hop
- DThe host sends to a nearby router without knowing the full path, while the router uses the destination address and known routes to choose the next hop
Question 13
1 pointPrompt
After a host’s IP process chooses a nearby router as the next hop, which action is performed by the data-link and physical layers rather than IP routing?
- ACompare the destination IP address with routes to choose another router
- BDetermine which web page file should be requested from a server
- CAdd an Ethernet header and trailer, then transmit the frame bits over the link
- DSend an acknowledgment requesting a missing TCP sequence number
Question 14
1 pointPrompt
A host sends an IP packet across an Ethernet LAN to router R1. Which order correctly describes the Ethernet link-layer and physical-layer process?
- AAdd Ethernet header and trailer → transmit bits → R1 receives and re-creates the bits → remove Ethernet header and trailer
- BAdd an IP header → remove the Ethernet header and trailer → transmit bits → receive the signal
- CTransmit the IP packet → add Ethernet header and trailer → receive the frame → remove the IP header
- DRemove the Ethernet header and trailer → add Ethernet header and trailer → transmit the bits → receive the signal
Question 15
1 pointPrompt
Which option correctly shows the five-step process a TCP/IP host uses to send data?
- AApplication data and header → transport header → IP header → data-link header and trailer → transmit bits
- BApplication data and header → IP header → transport header → data-link header and trailer → transmit bits
- CApplication data and header → transport header → data-link header and trailer → IP header → transmit bits
- DApplication data and header → data-link header and trailer → transport header → IP header → transmit bits
Question 16
1 pointPrompt
Which statement correctly distinguishes network-layer encapsulation from data-link-layer encapsulation?
- AIP adds a network-layer header, while the data-link layer adds both a header and trailer
- BIP adds both a header and trailer, while the data-link layer adds only a header
- CIP sends electrical signals, while the data-link layer requests web pages
- DIP creates HTTP requests, while the data-link layer performs TCP acknowledgments
Question 17
1 pointPrompt
Which mapping correctly matches TCP/IP message terminology to the related layer?
- ASegment: application; packet: data link; frame: network
- BSegment: transport; packet: network; frame: data link
- CSegment: network; packet: transport; frame: physical
- DSegment: data link; packet: physical; frame: transport
Question 18
1 pointPrompt
Which option best separates the physical-layer role from the data-link-layer role on an Ethernet link?
- AThe physical layer chooses IP routes, while the data-link layer assigns IP addresses
- BThe physical layer requests web pages, while the data-link layer performs TCP recovery
- CThe physical layer encodes signals onto the medium, while the data-link layer defines rules for using that physical media
- DThe physical layer returns web content, while the data-link layer creates TCP sequence numbers
