-
Interface
-
Sevice
-
Protocol
-
None of these
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Interface tells the processes how to access and specifies what parameters are and what results to expect.
-
HTTP protocol exchanges the data over the web.
-
Always the connection is established by the client in HTTP.
-
It manages a stateless connection in the web.
-
All of the above
-
Only (1) and (2)
D
Correct answer
Explanation
All are the correct statements about HTTP protocol.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Remote Initial Program Load (RIPL or RPL) is a protocol for starting a computer and loading its operating system from server via a network. Such a server runs a network operating system such as LAN Manager, LAN Server, Windows NT Server, Novell NetWare, Solaris or Linux.
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) is a computer networking protocol used in Internet Protocol networks to automatically assign an IP address to network devices from a configuration server.
-
clustered file system
-
client–server networks
-
structured peer-to-peer networks
-
unstructured peer-to-peer networks
-
semantic P2P networks
E
Correct answer
Explanation
Semantic P2P networks are a new type of P2P network. It combines the advantages of unstructured P2P networks and structural P2P networks and avoids their disadvantages.In semantic P2P networks, nodes are classified as DNS-like domain names with semantic meanings such as Alice @Brittney.popular.music. Semantic P2P networks contains prerequisite virtual tree topology and net-like topology formed by cached nodes.

-
physical layer
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ), also known as Automatic Repeat Query, is an error-control method for data transmission that uses acknowledgements (messages sent by the receiver indicating that it has correctly received a data frame or packet) and timeouts (specified periods of time allowed to elapse before an acknowledgment is to be received) to achieve reliable data transmission over an unreliable service. If the sender does not receive an acknowledgment before the timeout, it usually re-transmits the frame/packet until the sender receives an acknowledgment or exceeds a predefined number of re-transmissions.ARQ protocols reside in the Data Link or Transport Layers of the OSI model.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another host over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet.
-
Stateful inspection firewall
-
Application proxy
-
Message integrity check
-
DEK-Info
-
Transport layer security
B
Correct answer
Explanation
This security technique essentially intrudes in the middle of this protocol exchange seeming like a destination in communication with the sender that is outside the firewall.
-
Stateful inspection firewall
-
Packet filtering gateway
-
The certificate scheme
-
Sender authenticity
-
Transport layer security
B
Correct answer
Explanation
This security technique uses either source or destination address or specific transport protocol type to control access to packets.
-
Transport layer security
-
Secure socket layer
-
Sender authenticity
-
Message integrity check
-
Stateful inspection firewall
B
Correct answer
Explanation
In this security mechanism, the data is passed to a reliable transport layer protocol such as TCP.
-
Address Resolution Protocol
-
Internet Protocol
-
ICMP
-
IGMP
-
RFC
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The Internet Protocol of internet layer of TCP/IP is a routable protocol that addresses route fragments and recollects packets.
C
Correct answer
Explanation
This is the flag that asks recursive resolution in DNS message format bit that signals to the name server.
-
Protocol address length
-
Hardware address space
-
Protocol address space
-
Hardware address length
-
Operation code
D
Correct answer
Explanation
This address space in ARP packet specifies the length of the hardware addresses in the packet.
-
3 (destination unreachable)
-
4 (source quench)
-
5 (redirect)
-
11 (time exceeded)
-
9 (router advertisement)
B
Correct answer
Explanation
This value in ICMP header code field specifies that the message is received from an intermediate router and it means that the router did not have the buffer space needed to queue the datagram.
