Grade 10 Computers Quiz: Data Packets and Packet Switch

What is the structure of a data packet?

• Top, middle, and bottom

• Header, body, and footer

• Header, payload, and trailer

• Start, middle, and end

Explain the concept of packetization in data packets.

• Packetization is the process of encrypting data packets for secure transmission.

• Packetization refers to the process of compressing data packets to reduce network bandwidth usage.

• Packetization is the process of breaking data into small packets for transmission over a network.

• Packetization is the process of converting data packets into audio signals for transmission over the network.

What are the key components of a data packet?

• Start, middle, and end

• Top, middle, and bottom

• Header, body, and footer

• Header, payload, and footer

Describe the process of packet switching.

• Data is broken into small packets, transmitted independently, and reassembled at the destination.

• Data is transmitted in a single large packet without being broken down

• Packets are transmitted in a random order and reassembled at the destination

• Data is transmitted in a continuous stream without being broken into packets

How does packet switch handle incoming data packets?

• By determining the best route for each packet and forwarding them accordingly.

• By storing them indefinitely without forwarding

• By randomly sending them to different destinations

• By ignoring them and not forwarding at all

What are the advantages of packet switching over circuit switching?

• Packet switching uses more network resources than circuit switching

• Packet switching allows for more efficient use of network resources, better scalability, and increased flexibility compared to circuit switching.

• Packet switching is less flexible than circuit switching

• Packet switching is slower than circuit switching

Differentiate between packet switching and circuit switching.

• Circuit switching establishes a dedicated communication path before the transmission of data, while packet switching does not establish any communication path.

• Packet switching and circuit switching both break data into small packets and send them individually.

• Packet switching breaks data into small packets and sends them individually, while circuit switching establishes a dedicated communication path before the transmission of data.

• Packet switching establishes a dedicated communication path before the transmission of data, while circuit switching breaks data into small packets and sends them individually.

Explain the concept of packet header and payload.

• The packet header contains the data being transmitted. The payload contains the source and destination IP addresses.

• The packet header contains the encryption key for the data. The payload contains the routing information.

• The packet header contains information about the source, destination, and type of data. The payload contains the actual data being transmitted.

• The packet header contains the recipient's personal information. The payload contains the sender's personal information.

What information does the packet header contain?

• Packet size, color of the packet, and type of paper used for printing the packet

• Source and destination IP addresses, sequence numbers, and other control information

• Time and date of packet transmission, sender's name, and receiver's location

• Source and destination MAC addresses, payload data, and encryption keys

How is the payload of a data packet determined?

• By the color of the computer screen

• By the time of day the data is sent

• By the type of data being transmitted and the protocol being used

• By the number of emojis in the message
