Q

To model security threats, we postulate that this element is capable of sending any message to any process and reading or copying any message between a pair of processes

A

The enemy in the security model

33
Q

In this, we talk about the secutity of a distributed system that can be achieved by securing the processes and the channels used for their interactions and by protecting the objects that they encapsulate against unauthorized access

A

The security model

34
Q

Encryption, authentication and Identification some times are used to build ———— as a service layer on top of existing communication services

A

Secure channels

35
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

36
Q

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

A

The asynchronous communication

37
Q

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

A

Reliability

38
Q

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

A

Inter-process 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

The message destination

41
Q

Both forms of communications (UDP and TCP) use ________ which provides and endpoint for communication between processes

A

The socket abstraction

42
Q

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

A

A datagram

43
Q

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

A

Send and receive operations

44
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

45
Q

This assume that when a pair of processes are stablishing 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

46
Q

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

A

There is lost messages

47
Q

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

A

A failure model

48
Q

They are three alternatives approaches to external data representation.

A

XML, CORBA and Java’s object serialization.

49
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.

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 un-marshalling

51
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

52
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

53
Q

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

A

XML

54
Q

This is the speed at which data can be transferred between two computers in the network once transmission has begun

A

Data transfer rate

55
Q

This is a single communication subsystem providing communication between all of the hosts that are connected to it, where the Internet is constructed from many subnets

A

The Internet

56
Q

They carry messages at lower speeds between nodes that are often in different organizations and may be separated by large distances

A

WANs

57
Q

Protocol layering, packet switching, Routing and data streaming are the principles on which:

A

Computer networks are based

58
Q

This term is used to refer to any computer or switching device attached to a network

A

Node

59
Q

This is a sequence of binary data (an array of bits and bytes) of restricted length, together with addressing information sufficient to identify the source and destination computers.

A

The simplest form of packet

60
Q

The end-to-end communication must provide totally error-free; the detection of communication errors and their correction is that we call:

A

Reliability

61
Q

This is the delay that occurs after a send operation is executed before data starts to arrive at the destination computer in network performance

A

Latency

62
Q

The computers and other devices that use the network for communication purposes are referred to as:

A

Host

63
Q

This is a communication subsystem in which several networks are linked together to provide common data communication facilities that overlay the technologies and protocols of the individual component networks and the methods used for their interconnection

A

An internetwork

64
Q

This is why many network technologies support the simultaneous transmission of messaged to several recipients

A

Multicasting

65
Q

This is a unit of routing (delivering data from one part of the internet to another)

A

A subnet

66
Q

They are generally used to hold the video frames, but because the flow is continous as opposited to the intermittent traffic generated by typical client-server interactions and are handled somewhat differently

A

UDP internet packets

67
Q

This is defined as the ability to meet deadlines when transmitting and processing streams of real-time multimedia data

A

Quality of service

68
Q

This type of network is based on the high bandwidth copper and fiber optic cabling recently installed in some towns and cities for the transmission of video, voice and other data over distances of up to 50 kilometers

A

MAN’s

69
Q

They are composed of number of personal devices such as movile phones, tablets, digital cameras, music players and so on that are now carried by many people

A

WPAN’s

70
Q

This is referred to as the transmission and display of audio and video in real time. It requires much higher bandwidths than most other forms of communication in distributed systems

A

Streaming

71
Q

The IEEE 802.16 WiMAX standard is targeted at this class of network. It aims to provide an alternative to wired connections to home and office buildings

A

WMAN’s

72
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 transmits it on an outgoing circuit, which transfers the packet to another node that is closer to its ultimate destination

A

Packet switching

73
Q

This is used to refer to a well-known set of rules and formats to be used for communication between processes in order to perform a given task

A

The term protocol

74
Q

Their operation was simple to understand, when a caller dialed a number, the pair of wires from her phone to the local exchange was connected by an automaticswitch at the exchange to the pair of wires connected to the other party’s phone

A

Circuit Switching

75
Q

They are specifically designed to provide high
bandwidth and low latencies and to support quality of
service by the reservation of network resources.

A

ATM Networks

76
Q

Most mobile phone networks are based on digital wireless network technologies such as the GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) standard, which is used in most countries of the world.

A

WWANs

77
Q

This is a transmission technique that involves no switching, everything is transmitted to every node, and it is up to potential receivers to notice transmissions addressed to them.

A

Broadcast

78
Q

The task of dividing messages into packets before transmission and reassembling them at the receiving computer is usually performed in the transport layer.

A

Packet assembly

79
Q
