What protocol us for controlling the right to transmit a message in a network?
CSMA/CD
What is the advantage of larger word size in a computer?
Faster Computation
Which layer of the TCP/IP hierarchy attempts to deliver messages reliably?
Transport
If a hard drive is defragmented, How does this allow a computer to run faster?
Makes the file contiguous
What identifies the application to which a message arriving from the internet should be given?
Port Number
What is used to translate between IP addresses and mnemonic addresses?
Name server
What instruction would likely execute fastest
AND
Which layer of the TCP/IP hierarchy decides which application should receive an incoming message?
Transport
Which protocol implements a secure internet service?
HTTPS
In what way are general purpose registers and main memory cells similar?
Both are memory that can be directly addressed and accessed by the CPU
In what way do general purpose registers and main memory cells differ?
There are relatively few general-purpose registers compared to main memory cells.
General-purpose registers are internal to the CPU and can be accessed more quickly.
What conditions are necessary for deadlock to occur?
Multiple processes attempting to access a limited resource with a partial access.
What mechanisms are used in an operating system to avoid deadlock?
Mutual exclusion is used to avoid deadlock. This can be accomplished through the use of semaphores.
What is the difference between a repeater and a bridge
A repeater extends a network at the physical layer and propagates all bits. A bridge extends a network at the link layer and propagates frames based on the MAC address.
