Ethernet Transmitter Algorithm Quiz

What is the primary function of the Ethernet media access control algorithm?

• To manage data encryption

• To control access to the network

• To enhance signal strength

• To monitor network traffic

What does CSMA/CD stand for?

• Centralized Signal Management and Control

• Collision Sense Multiple Access with Data

• Carrier Signal Management and Control Device

• Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection

What encoding technique is used by Ethernet?

• Huffman encoding

• ASCII encoding

• Binary encoding

• Manchester encoding

What happens when two frames collide in an Ethernet network?

• Both frames are successfully transmitted

• One frame is prioritized over the other

• Both frames become unusable

• The network automatically resolves the collision

What is the maximum payload size of an Ethernet frame?

• 1024 bytes

• 1500 bytes

• 64 bytes

• 256 bytes

What is a runt frame?

• A frame that is corrupted

• A frame that is larger than 1500 bytes

• A frame that is less than 64 bytes

• A frame that is exactly 64 bytes

What does the exponential back-off technique do?

• Reduces the probability of collision

• Decreases the frame size

• Increases the transmission speed

• Improves signal quality

What is the purpose of the 32-bit jamming sequence?

• To enhance data integrity

• To increase transmission speed

• To signal a collision has occurred

• To indicate successful transmission

What is the role of the network interface card (NIC)?

• To convert data into signals

• To manage data encryption

• To connect the computer to the internet

• To store data temporarily

What happens when an adapter detects a collision?

• It continues transmitting

• It stops transmission and waits

• It sends a notification to the user

• It automatically resolves the collision
