    - the amount of data to be transmitted
    - the number of services included in the TCP segment
    - the amount of data the destination can process at one time
    - the amount of data the source is capable of sending at one time

Explanation: Window is the number of bytes that the sender will send prior to expecting an acknowledgement from the destination device. The initial window is agreed upon during the session startup via the three-way handshake between source and destination. It is determined by how much data the destination device of a TCP session is able to accept and process at one time.

TCP:

  • Provides tracking of transmitted data segments
  • Destination devices will acknowledge received data.
  • Source devices will retransmit unacknowledged data.

UDP

  • Destination devices will not acknowledge received data
  • Headers use very little overhead and cause minimal delay.​

Q
  1. Which flag in the TCP header is used in response to a received FIN in order to terminate connectivity between two network devices?
    - FIN
    - ACK
    - SYN
    - RST
A
  1. Which flag in the TCP header is used in response to a received FIN in order to terminate connectivity between two network devices?
    - FIN
    - ACK
    - SYN
    - RST

Explanation: In a TCP session, when a device has no more data to send, it will send a segment with the FIN flag set. The connected device that receives the segment will respond with an ACK to acknowledge that segment. The device that sent the ACK will then send a FIN message to close the connection it has with the other device. The sending of the FIN should be followed with the receipt of an ACK from the other device.​

  • source port
A
  1. What kind of port must be requested from IANA in order to be used with a specific application?
  • registered port
  • private port
  • dynamic port
  • source port

Explanation: Registered ports (numbers 1024 to 49151) are assigned by IANA to a requesting entity to use with specific processes or applications. These processes are primarily individual applications that a user has chosen to install, rather than common applications that would receive a well-known port number. For example, Cisco has registered port 1985 for its Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) process.​

Q
  1. How are port numbers used in the TCP/IP encapsulation process?
  • Source port numbers and destination port numbers are not necessary when UDP is the transport layer protocol being used for the communication.
  • Source port and destination port numbers are randomly generated.
  • If multiple conversations occur that are using the same service, the source port number is used to track the separate conversations.
  • Destination port numbers are assigned automatically and cannot be changed.

  • Destination port numbers are assigned automatically and cannot be changed.

Explanation: Both UDP and TCP use port numbers to provide a unique identifier for each conversation. Source port numbers are randomly generated and are used to track different conversations. Destination port numbers identify specific services by using either a default port number for the service or a port number that is assigned manually by a system administrator.

A
  1. Which networking model is being used when an author uploads one chapter document to a file server of a book publisher?
  • peer-to-peer
  • master-slave
  • client/server
  • point-to-point

Explanation: In the client/server network model, a network device assumes the role of server in order to provide a particular service such as file transfer and storage. In the client/server network model, a dedicated server does not have to be used, but if one is present, the network model being used is the client/server model. In contrast, a peer-to-peer network does not have a dedicated server.

32
Q
  1. What do the client/server and peer-to-peer network models have in common?
  • Both models have dedicated servers.
  • Both models support devices in server and client roles.
  • Both models require the use of TCP/IP-based protocols.
  • Both models are used only in the wired network environment.

  • physical
  • session
  • network
  • presentation
  • data link
  • transport
  • application

Explanation: The network access layer of the TCP/IP model performs the same functions as the physical and data link layers of the OSI model. The internetwork layer equates to the network layer of the OSI model. The transport layers are the same in both models. The application layer of the TCP/IP model represents the session, presentation, and application layers of the OSI model.

Q
  1. What is an example of network communication that uses the client-server model?
  • A user uses eMule to download a file that is shared by a friend after the file location is determined.
  • A workstation initiates an ARP to find the MAC address of a receiving host.
  • A user prints a document by using a printer that is attached to a workstation of a coworker.
  • A workstation initiates a DNS request when the user types www.cisco.com in the address bar of a web browser.

  • A user prints a document by using a printer that is attached to a workstation of a coworker.
  • A workstation initiates a DNS request when the user types www.cisco.com in the address bar of a web browser.

Explanation: When a user types a domain name of a website into the address bar of a web browser, a workstation needs to send a DNS request to the DNS server for the name resolution process. This request is a client/server model application. The eMule application is P2P. Sharing a printer on a workstation is a peer-to-peer network. Using ARP is just a broadcast message sent by a host.

Q
  1. What is an advantage of SMB over FTP?​
  • Only with SMB can data transfers occur in both directions.
  • Only SMB establishes two simultaneous connections with the client, making the data transfer faster.​
  • SMB is more reliable than FTP because SMB uses TCP and FTP uses UDP.​
  • SMB clients can establish a long-term connection to the server.​

  • Only SMB establishes two simultaneous connections with the client, making the data transfer faster.
  • SMB is more reliable than FTP because SMB uses TCP and FTP uses UDP.
  • SMB clients can establish a long-term connection to the server.

Explanation: SMB and FTP are client/server protocols that are used for file transfer. SMB allows the connecting device to access resources as if they were on the local client device. SMB and FTP use the TCP protocol for connection establishment and they can transfer data in both directions. FTP requires two connections between the client and the server, one for commands and replies, the other for the actual file transfer.

  • authentication services
A
  1. Which applications or services allow hosts to act as client and server at the same time?
  • client/server applications
  • email applications
  • P2P applications
  • authentication services

Explanation: P2P applications allow the clients to behave as servers if needed. When using authentication services, email exchange, and client/server applications, one host acts as server and the other acts as client at all times.

    - scalability
    - one way data flow
    - decentralized resources
    - centralized user accounts
    - resource sharing without a dedicated server

Explanation: Peer-to-peer networks have decentralized resources because every computer can serve as both a server and a client. One computer might assume the role of server for one transaction while acting as a client for another transaction. Peer-to-peer networks can share resources among network devices without the use of a dedicated server.

Q
  1. Which scenario describes a function provided by the transport layer?
  • A student is using a classroom VoIP phone to call home. The unique identifier burned into the phone is a transport layer address used to contact another network device on the same network.
  • A student is playing a short web-based movie with sound. The movie and sound are encoded within the transport layer header.
  • A student has two web browser windows open in order to access two web sites. The transport layer ensures the correct web page is delivered to the correct browser window.
  • A corporate worker is accessing a web server located on a corporate network. The transport layer formats the screen so the web page appears properly no matter what device is being used to view the web site.
