.com
www
http
index

22

closest to the end user
the establishing of window size

A

the creation and maintenance of dialogue between source and destination applications
closest to the end user

23

POST
PUT
ACK

24
Q

Which statement is true about FTP?

The client can choose if FTP is going to establish one or two connections with the server.
The client can download data from or upload data to the server.
FTP is a peer-to-peer application.
FTP does not provide reliability during data transmission.

FTP
HTTP
DHCP
ICMP
SNMP

26
Q

Which TCP/IP model layer is closest to the end user?

application
internet
network access
transport

A

application

27
Q

Which three protocols or standards are used at the application layer of the TCP/IP model? (Choose three.)

ТСР
HTTP
MPEG
GIF
IP
UDP

A

HTTP
MPEG
GIF

28
Q

Which protocol uses encryption?

DHCP
DNS
FTP

29
Q

Why is DHCP preferred for use on large networks?

Large networks send more requests for domain to IP address resolution than do smaller networks.
DHCP uses a reliable transport layer protocol.
It prevents sharing of files that are copyrighted.
It is a more efficient way to manage IP addresses than static address assignment.
Hosts on large networks require more IP addressing configuration settings than hosts on small networks.

A

It is a more efficient way to manage IP addresses than static address assignment.
