Q

Does a hub broadcast messages to all computers on a LAN?

A

YES

26
Q

How do we send a message to a computer outside our network?

A

Internet Protocol

27
Q

What is Internet Protocol 4 (IPv4)?

A

4th version protocol for connectionless data transmission on packet-switched internetworks.

28
Q

IPv4 addresses have how many bits/bytes?

A

32 bits / 4 bytes

29
Q

Each byte contains numbers between this.

A

0 - 255

30
Q

What is a subnet mask indicate?

A

Indicates if address is part of local network or connected to a physical network.

31
Q

What is a Transmission Control Protocol?

A

Communication standard used in conjunction with the Internet.

32
Q

What is TCP used for?

A

Reliable delivery of data over a network connection.

33
Q

What is TCP used with?

A

World Wide Web, email and FTP.

34
Q

How is error detection identified in TCP?

A

A checksum is used.

35
Q

What does CRC32 mean?

A

Cyclic Redundancy Check with 32 bit checksum

36
Q

What happens if there is not acknowledgement received?

A

Packet is resent.

37
Q

What happens if the receiving computer detects an error?

A

No acknowledgement.

38
Q

What is a solution to determine packets are reassembled in the right order?

A

Each packet contains a sequence number.

39
Q

In regards to transmission errors under the Transport Layer, what happens if an acknowledgement arrives with an error?

A

Checksum reviewed
Error noted
Acknowledgement discarded
Packet resent
Recipient discards packet
Acknowledgement sent

40
Q

What happens if a duplicate packet is sent?

A

Receiver discards duplicate
Receiver sends acknowledgement for all packets

41
Q

What is UDP?

A

User Datagram Protocol - used for faster communication & compromises on error checking.
Used by VoIP & Video

42

47
Q

What port is Network File System (NFS)?

A

Port 2049

48
Q

Transport Layer accepts a message from this layer and then passes where?

A

Transport Layer passes from the Session Layer, splits message into smaller frames, and passes frames to Network Layer.

49
Q

What is the purpose of the Session Layer?

A

Takes care of establishing, managing, and termination of sessions between two hosts.
Browsing a website on the internet you are probably not the only user of the webserver hosting that website. The webserver keeps track of all the different sessions.

50
Q

What does session support?

A
