Computer Networking Protocols

What does TCP/IP stand for?

• Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol

• Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol

• Transaction Control Protocol/Internet Protocol

• Transfer Command Protocol/Internet Protocol

What is the primary purpose of TCP/IP?

• To allow for data exchange between devices on the internet

• To encrypt data packets across networks

• To establish a physical connection between network devices

• To serve as the main user interface for network communication

How does TCP/IP facilitate network communication?

• By providing a graphical interface for users to interact with the network

• By facilitating the transmission of data packets across networks

• By controlling the power supply to network devices

• By managing the storage of data on the network

What is the primary responsibility of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) in TCP/IP networking?

• Encrypting data for secure transmission

• Assigning IP addresses to devices

• Establishing and maintaining connections

• Compressing data to reduce bandwidth usage

How does TCP ensure reliable data delivery over a network?

• By increasing the speed of data transmission

• By managing packet sequencing & error detection

• By reducing the size of the data packets to the smallest possible

• By converting data into analog signals for transmission

What is the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) primarily used for?

• Establishing a secure and reliable connection for data transfer

• Sending data over a network without establishing a connection

• Encrypting data packets for secure communication

• Compressing data to reduce bandwidth usage

In which of the following applications is UDP often used?

• Email transmission requiring high reliability

• Video streaming where speed is prioritized

• Financial transactions requiring data integrity

• Database synchronization with strict consistency requirements

Which of the following is a characteristic of UDP communication?

• Connection-oriented

• Requires a handshake

• Allows for broadcast/multicast communication

• Ensures delivery of data packets

What does a MAC (Media Access Control) address represent in TCP/IP networking?

• A software configuration for network protocols

• A unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communication

• A type of IP address assigned to each user by an Internet service provider

• A routing number used to forward data to the correct network switch

Can two devices on the same network have the same MAC address?

• Yes, if they are from the same manufacturer

• Yes, if they are configured to do so manually

• No, MAC addresses must be unique on the same network

• Yes, if they are connected through the same router
