Q

What is the client-server model in networking?

A

The client-server model structures applications by dividing tasks between clients, which initiate requests, and servers, which provide resources or services in response.

Q

What are stream sockets?

A

Stream sockets (TCP) provide reliable, connection-oriented communication between a client and a server, ensuring ordered delivery of data.

16
Q

What are datagram sockets?

A

Datagram sockets (UDP) provide unreliable, connectionless communication between a client and a server, suitable for low-latency real-time communication.

17
Q

What is the purpose of the socket API?

A

The socket API defines functions for creating, configuring, and managing sockets, as well as sending and receiving data.

18
Q

What do ObjectInputStream and ObjectOutputStream do?

A

They allow reading and writing of objects over sockets, handling object serialization and deserialization.

18
Q

What are the steps in socket programming?

A

Steps include creating a socket, binding and listening (server), connecting (client), accepting connections (server), data exchange, and closing the connection.

19
Q

What are input and output streams in Java?

A

InputStream and OutputStream are classes in Java used for reading from and writing to sockets, facilitating data transfer between applications.

20
Q

What is the role of BufferedReader and PrintWriter in socket communication?

A

BufferedReader and PrintWriter are used for text-based communication over sockets, wrapping InputStream and OutputStream for handling text data.

21
Q

How can you configure Windows Defender Firewall for networking?

A

By creating inbound and outbound rules, selecting ports, and setting connection names to allow or block specific network traffic.

21
Q

What are DataInputStream and DataOutputStream used for?

A

These streams are designed for reading and writing primitive data types over sockets in a portable way, useful for structured data transmission.

22
Q

What is communication protocols

A

Rules and conventions that govern data exchange between devices on a network.

23
Q

What is difference between TCP/IP

A

TCP is responsible for breaking data into packets, sending them across a network, and ensuring they arrive in the correct order at the destination.

IP is responsible for addressing and routing packets across networks
. It assigns unique IP addresses to devices and determines the best path for data transmission. IPv4 and IPv6 are the two main versions of IP addressing.

24
Q

What are the two classes responsible for socket programmin

A

The java.net.Socket and java.net.ServerSocket

25
Q

What is the class responsible for URL handling and what is ti used for

A

java.net.URL. The class represents a uniform resource uniform resource locator(URL) and provides methods for parsing, constructing and manipulating URLs.

26
Q

What is responsible for URLConnections and what does it do?

A

The java.net.URLConnection class facilitates communication with remote servers over various network protocols, such as HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and more.

It provides methods for establishing connections, sending requests, and retrieving responses from servers

27
Q

What is responsible for Datagramm Programming

A

The java.net.DatagramPacket and java.net.DatagramSocket classes enable developers to create and send datagrams (packets) over UDP (User Datagram Protocol) connections.

28
Q

What is a port

A

A port is a logica construct used to uniquely identify a specific process or service runnin on a computer within a network.

29
Q

What is a port number

A

A port number is a 16 bit unsigned integer(0-65535) that is assigned to each network service for identification.

30
Q

What is socket binding

A

When a network service or application start listening for incoming connections, it binds to a specific port number.

31
Q

what are communication protocols

A

Rules and conventions that govern data exchange between devices on a network.

32
Q

what is the funciton of TCP

A

TCP is responsible for breaking data into packets, sending them across a network, and ensuring they arrive in the correct order at the destination.

33
Q

What is the function of IP

A

IP is responsible for addressing and routing packets across networks.
It assigns unique IP addresses to devices and determines the best path for data transmission

34
Q

Mention the types of network topologoies

A

Star Network Topology: Has the router in the middle and one Internet
Ring topology: Circle
Mesh Network Topology
Fully Connected Network Topolgy
Common Bus Network Topology

35
Q

what is a client

A

A client program is a software application that initiates request for resources or services from server.

36
Q

What is a server

A

A server program is a software application that listens to requests from clients and provides requested resources or services.
