Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN)
-
Time To Live (TTL)
-
Protocol
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Time to live (TTL) or hop limit is a mechanism that limits the lifespan or lifetime of data in a computer or network. TTL may be implemented as a counter or timestamp attached to or embedded in the data. Once the prescribed event count or timespan has elapsed, data is discarded.

Border Gateway Protocol
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is used to test the internet. ICMP messages are typically used for diagnostic or control purposes or generated in response to errors in IP operations.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Simple Network Management protocol is a framework used for managing devices on internet using the TCP/IP protocol suit.Its a application level protocol and provides set of fundamental operations for monitoring and maintaining on internet.It uses the concept of agent and manager.A manager is a host, that controls and monitors a set of agents therfore it is correct.
C
Correct answer
Explanation

-
SFTP
-
FTP
-
TFTP
-
All of the above
D
Correct answer
Explanation
FTP, SFTP and TFTP are used for transferring files from one system to another through internet and web server. FTP is a standard network protocol used to copy a file from one host to another over a TCP -based network, such as the Internet. The SSH File Transfer Protocol is not related to FTP except that it also transfers files and has a similar command set for users. A similar protocol TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) provides connectionless file transfer over UDP.This is only suitable for very small files; for example, uploading configuration files to routers.
