Network Protocols and Standards

What is the purpose of a network protocol?

• To determine the color scheme of network interfaces

• To regulate the temperature of network devices

• The purpose of a network protocol is to define rules and conventions for communication between devices on a network.

• To provide entertainment for network users

Which protocol is used for sending emails?

• HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)

• TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)

• FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

• SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)

What does TCP stand for?

• Transportation Control Protocol

• TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol.

• Total Control Protocol

• Technical Communication Protocol

What is the function of IP address in a network?

• The function of an IP address in a network is to uniquely identify a device and enable it to communicate with other devices on the network using the Internet Protocol.

• The function of an IP address in a network is to control network speed

• The function of an IP address in a network is to provide security

• The function of an IP address in a network is to store data

Which protocol is used for transferring files over the internet?

• HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)

• FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

• TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)

• SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)

What is the purpose of DNS in a network?

• The purpose of DNS in a network is to translate domain names to IP addresses, allowing users to access websites and other resources using easy-to-remember names instead of numerical IP addresses.

• The purpose of DNS in a network is to control internet speed

• The purpose of DNS in a network is to manage hardware resources

• The purpose of DNS in a network is to encrypt data transmission

What is the difference between TCP and UDP?

• TCP and UDP are the same

• TCP is faster than UDP

• The main difference is that TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is connection-oriented, ensuring that all data is received in the correct order, while UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is connectionless and does not guarantee delivery or order of data.

• TCP is used for video streaming, while UDP is used for file transfer

Which protocol is used for web browsing?

• HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)

• FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

• SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)

• TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)

What is the purpose of subnet mask in a network?

• The purpose of subnet mask in a network is to increase the speed of internet connection

• The purpose of subnet mask in a network is to encrypt data packets for security

• The purpose of subnet mask in a network is to change the IP address of a device

• The purpose of subnet mask in a network is to divide an IP address into network and host portions, allowing for efficient routing of data packets.

What is the role of IEEE in network standards?

• IEEE plays a key role in developing and maintaining network standards, including Ethernet and Wi-Fi, to ensure interoperability and compatibility among different devices and systems.

• IEEE is only responsible for software development in networks

• IEEE only focuses on developing network hardware

• IEEE has no role in network standards
