Q

In this type of switching, each packet arriving at a node is
first stored in memory at the node and then processed by a
program that transmit it on outgoing circuit, which transfers
the packet to another node that is closer to its ultimate
destination.

29
Q

This is a function that is required in all networks except
those LANs, such as the Ethernet, that provide direct
connections between all pairs of attached hosts.

A

Routing

30
Q

A unified addressing scheme between different networks
that enables packets to be addressed to any host connected
to any subnet is a necessary element to build:

A

Internetwork

31
Q

This must lend itself to the development of a flexible and
efficient routing scheme, but the addresses themselves
cannot contain very much of the information needed to
route a packet to its destination.

A

Addressing scheme

32
Q

It is a based upon the permanent allocation of a normal IP
address to each mobile host on a subnet in its home domain.

A

Mobile IP

33
Q

The purpose of this is to monitor and control all communication into and out of a intranet.

A

A Firewall

34
Q

Message passing between a pair of processes can be
supported by two message communication operations

A

Send and receive operations

35
Q

In this form of communication, the use of the send
operation is non-blocking, receive operation can have
blocking and non-blocking variants

A

The asynchronous form of
communication

36
Q

We can describe this as the guaranteed to deliver the
message despite a reasonable number of packets being
dropped or lost

A

Reliability

37
Q

Both forms of communication (UDP and TCP) use ______,
which provides an endpoint for communication between
processes

A

The socket abstaction

38
Q

In this form of communication, the sending and receiving
processes synchronize at every message. In this case, both
send and receive are blocking operations

A

The synchronous communication

39
Q

Any process may make use of multiple of these elements to
receive messages, but a process cannot share them with
other processes on the same computer.

A

Ports

40
Q

The internet protocols, and the local port pairs define the:

A

Message destination

41
Q

This consist of transmitting a message between a socket in
one process and a socket in another process

A

Interprocess communication

42
Q

This is sent by UDP is transmitted from a sending process to
a receive process without acknowledgment or retries

A

A datagram

43
Q

Messages may be dropped occasionally, either because of a
checksum error or because no buffer space is available at
the source or destination, it’s called:

A

Omission failures

44
Q

This defines reliable communication for channels in terms of
two properties: integrity and validity

A

Failure Model

45
Q

This was originated from BSD 4.x UNIX and provides the
abstraction of a stream of bytes to which data may be
written and from which data may be read

A

The API to the TCP Protocol

46
Q

This assume that when a pair of processes are establishing a
connection, one of them plays the client role and another
plays the server role, but thereafter they could be peers

A

The API for stream
communication

47
Q

The TCP protocol attempts to match the speeds of the
processes that read from and write to a stream, this is
called:

A

Flow control

48
Q

The TCP protocol uses an acknowledgement scheme. If the
sender does not receive an acknowledgement with a time
out, it retransmit the message and this performed when:

A

Lost messages

49
Q

These items transmitted in messages can be data values of
many different types and not all computers store primitive
values such as integers in the same order

A

The individual primitive data

50
Q

This is the process of taking a collection of data items and
assembling or disassembling (respectively) into a form
suitable for transmission in a message.

A

Marshalling and Unmarshalling

51
Q

They are three alternative approaches to external data
representation

A

XML, CORBA and Java´s object
serialization

52
Q

The first one was designed for defining the appearance of
web pages while the second one was designed for writing
structured documents for the web.

A

HTML and XML

53
Q

They are tagged with ‘markup’ strings. The tags are used to
describe the logical structure of the data and to associate
attribute-value pairs with logical structures.

A

XML data items

54
Q

XML is _____ in the sense that users can define their own
tags, in contrast to HTML, which uses a fixed set of tags

A

Extensible

55
Q

This is a markup language that was defined by the World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for general use on the web

A

XML

56
Q

The structure of an XML document is defined by pairs of
these elements enclosed in angle brackets

A

Tags

57
Q

They define the name of values associate to tags in XML
schemes

A

XML Attributes

58
Q

This is used to enable clients to communicate with web
services and for defining the interfaces and other properties
of web services

A

XML Service

59
Q

All the information in XML elements must be expressed as
character data.
But the question is: how do we represent encrypted
elements or secures hashes?

A

Binary data

60
Q

Every start tag has matched end tag and all tags are correctly
nested, these are

A

Basic rules of XML

61
Q

Every XML document must have this as its first line and must
at least specify the version of XML in use (chich is currently
1.0)

A

Prolog

62
Q

This is a set of names for a collection of element types and
attributes that is referenced by a URL

A

XML Namespace

63
Q

This defines the elements and attributes that can appear in a
document, how the elements are nested and the order and number of elements, and whether an element is empty or
can include text

A

XML Schema

64
Q

This protocol is based on a trio of communication primitives:
doOperation, getRequested and sendReplay

A

The request-reply protocol

65
Q

This scheme involves the management of messages and
requires that each message have a unique element by which
it may be referenced

A

Messages identifiers

66
Q

As its name indicates. It is a mechanism to call a procedure
or a function available on a remote computer

A

RPC

67
Q

This uses the HTTP protocol to pass information from a
client computer to a server computer and uses a small XML
vocabulary to describe the nature of requests and responses

A

XML RPC Structure

68
Q

This specifies a procedure name and parameters in the XML
request, and the server returns either a fault or a response
in the XML response

A

XML RPC parameters

69
Q

Data model, request structures and response structures are
parts of

A

XML RPC

70
Q

Ther are a simple list of types and content – structs and
arrays are the most complex types available
