Understanding TCP/IP Protocol Suite

What is the primary purpose of TCP/IP?

• To simplify network management

• To provide built-in security for networks

• To enable reliable data exchange over the internet

• To replace all existing network protocols

Which protocol is responsible for establishing a connection before data transmission?

• FTP

• IP

• HTTP

• TCP

What is a limitation of the IP protocol?

• It guarantees data delivery

• It offers error checking

• It is limited by packet size

• It can only connect computers

Which layer of the TCP/IP model is responsible for standardized data exchange for applications?

• Network Link Layer

• Transport Layer

• Application Layer

• Internet Layer

What protocol is sometimes used instead of TCP in the Transport Layer?

• SMTP

• ARP

• UDP

• HTTP

Which layer uses IP and ICMP to manage packets across network boundaries?

• Internet Layer

• Network Link Layer

• Transport Layer

• Application Layer

What is a key advantage of TCP/IP?

• It strains networks

• It is proprietary

• It is difficult to modify

• It is highly scalable

What is a challenge associated with TCP/IP?

• It is easy to set up

• It is vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks

• It clearly separates services and protocols

• It is suitable for new technologies

How does the OSI model differ from TCP/IP?

• OSI is a conceptual tool

• OSI is more practical

• OSI is only for internet use

• OSI is less structured

What is the main focus of the OSI model compared to TCP/IP?

• Practical execution

• Conceptual framework

• Proprietary protocols

• Specific hardware compatibility
