Which statement is correct about network protocols?

• Network protocols define the type of hardware that is used and how it is mounted in racks.

• They define how messages are exchanged between the source and the destination.

• They all function in the network access layer of TCP/IP.

• They are only required for exchange of messages between devices on remote networks.

Which statement is true about the TCP/IP and OSI models?

• The TCP/IP transport layer and OSI Layer 4 provide similar services and functions.

• The TCP/IP network access layer has similar functions to the OSI network layer.

• The OSI Layer 7 and the TCP/IP application layer provide identical functions.

• The first three OSI layers describe general services that are also provided by the TCP/IP internet layer.

What is an advantage of using standards to develop and implement protocols?

• A particular protocol can only be implemented by one manufacturer.

• Products from different manufacturers can interoperate successfully.

• Different manufacturers are free to apply different requirements when implementing a protocol.

• Standards provide flexibility for manufacturers to create devices that comply with unique requirements.

What are proprietary protocols?

• protocols developed by private organizations to operate on any vendor hardware

• protocols that can be freely used by any organization or vendor

• protocols developed by organizations who have control over their definition and operation

• a collection of protocols known as the TCP/IP protocol suite

At which layer of the OSI model would a logical address be added during encapsulation?

• physical layer

• data link layer

• network layer

• transport layer

Which PDU format is used when bits are received from the network medium by the NIC of a host?

• file

• frame

• packet

• segment

A computer in a given network is communicating with a specific group of computers. What type of communication is this?
