Transmission Control Protocol:

Provides reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of a stream of packets on the internet

Breaks messages into packets and addresses them

A DNS attack in which numerous pings are made to the same IP, causing it to crash

Protocol used by the World Wide Web. It describes how messages are formatted and interchanged, and how web servers respond to commands.

The world is currently in a transition to using IPv6, a newer version of the IP protocol that uses 128-bit addresses instead of 32-bit addresses used by IPv4. What is the main problem that IPv6 was created to solve?

32-bit addresses could not ensure that every internet-connected device can receive a unique IP address

IPv6 will allow problems with IPv4's address hierarchy to be resolved

32-bit addresses could not accommodate the increased size and amount of data traveling on the Internet as it has grown in popularity

IPv4 proved unreliable in some cases where network redundancy could not be ensured

Which of the following best describes the basic idea of fault tolerance?

If part of the system fails, the operation continues without interruption

A program that does not allow inputs out of a range given by a programmer

A program that does not allow loss of precision

Protocol used by web browsers to communicate with the web server and fetch the webpages that you see

Protocol used to check if all packets of data have been received

Protocol for relaying packets across an interconnected network (Internet)

A cryptographic protocol used to securely transmit data over an unsecured network

Which of the following best describes the protocols used on the Internet?

The protocols of the Internet are open and used by all devices connected to the network

The protocols of the Internet are designed by government agencies to ensure they remain free to use

The protocols of the Internet are secret to maintain the privacy and security of people using them

Each device connected to the Internet will use a protocol designed by the company that manufactured it

Jesse purchases a new smartphone and is immediately able to use it to send a photo over the Internet to a friend who lives in a different country. Which of the following is NOT necessary to make this possible?

A single direct connection is established between any two devices connected to the Internet

Both devices are using the same shared and open protocols

The data of the image is routed through a sequence of directly connected devices before arriving at its destination.

Both devices are directly connected to at least one part of the Internet

This diagram shows a number of computing devices connected to the Internet with each line representing a direct connection. Device A is attempting to send data over the Internet to Device E. Which of the following is true of how the data will travel through the network?

It is possible that the data travels through any of the devices in the network before arriving at device E

The data will always travel through Device B as it is the shortest path

The data will never be sent to Device G since there are other shorter paths available

If the data travels through Device D then it will not travel through Device B

Which of the following is true of how the Internet has responded to the increasing number of devices now using the network?

The protocols of the Internet were designed to scale as new devices are added

The Internet protocols are changed every year to adapt to the new devices that have been connected to the network

While the number of devices connected to the Internet has grown, the network itself has not grown

The protocols of the Internet are no longer necessary thanks to the large number of devices now connected to the network

Which of the following is true of how packets are sent through the Internet?

Packet metadata is used to route and reassemble information travelling through the Internet

Packet metadata is only included on important packets to indicate they should get access to faster paths through the network

Information sent through the internet is only encapsulated in packets if the message is too large to be sent as a datastream

Information sent through the internet is split into two packets, one which contains the message and another which contains the metadata

Emilee is watching an online video. The video is being sent to her laptop by a server over the Internet which splits the video into packets and sends them in the order they appear in the video. Which of the following is true about how the packets will arrive at her computer?

The packets may arrive out of order

The packets will always be received in the order that they were sent

Either every packet will reach her computer or none of them will

Packets that arrive out of order will be sent back to the server

Which of the following best describes the purpose of an IP address?

IP addresses provide a unique number for identifying devices that send and receive information on the Internet

IP addresses assist in the reconstruction of a message that has been divided into many packets

IP addresses indicate the location where an internet-connected computing device was manufactured

IP addresses indicate how many times an individual packet has been requested by a router

Which of the following Internet protocols is MOST important in reassembling packets and requesting missing packets to form complete messages?

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)

HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

An Internet Service Provider (ISP) is a company that builds the routers and wired connections that allow individuals to access the Internet. An ISP is considering adding additional redundant connections to its network. Which of the following best describes why the company would choose to do so?

Redundant networks are more reliable

It costs less to design a network that is redundant

The protocols of the Internet only work on networks that are redundant

Adding additional connections reduces the fault-tolerance of the network

About

This AP Computer Science Principles quiz focuses on Internet infrastructure and networking protocols, targeting high school students in grades 11-12. The questions assess fundamental understanding of how data travels across the Internet through packet-switched networks, including the roles of various protocols like TCP/IP, HTTP, UDP, and DNS. Students need to grasp core concepts such as packet routing, network redundancy, fault tolerance, and the layered architecture of Internet communication. The quiz requires knowledge of how protocols work together to ensure reliable data transmission, why packets may arrive out of order, and how network topology affects communication paths. Students must understand the difference between reliable protocols like TCP and unreliable ones like UDP, recognize the purpose of IP addresses in device identification, and analyze network diagrams to determine minimum connection failures needed to disrupt communication between nodes. Created by Katherine Schneider, a Computers teacher in US who teaches grade 9-12. This comprehensive assessment tool supports AP Computer Science Principles instruction by evaluating student mastery of Unit 2 Internet concepts through varied question formats including true/false, multiple choice, multiple select, and scenario-based problems. Teachers can deploy this quiz as a formative assessment to gauge student understanding before the AP exam, use it for homework assignments to reinforce daily lessons, or implement it as a review activity before unit tests. The questions align with essential AP CSP learning objectives covering Internet protocols, network reliability, and data transmission principles. This quiz works effectively as a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge, practice sessions to solidify new concepts, or summative evaluation to measure student achievement of Internet and networking standards outlined in the College Board's AP Computer Science Principles curriculum framework.
