Understanding the TCP/IP Protocol Stack

Which layer of the TCP/IP protocol stack is responsible for providing services for applications that want to communicate across a network?

• Transport Layer

• Application Layer

• Internet Layer

• Link Layer

What protocol is used by the application layer for secure web browsing?

• HTTP

• FTP

• HTTPS

• SMTP

Which layer of the TCP/IP protocol stack is responsible for splitting data into packets and numbering them sequentially?

• Application Layer

• Transport Layer

• Internet Layer

• Link Layer

What is the primary function of the Internet Layer in the TCP/IP protocol stack?

• Establishing end-to-end connections

• Addressing packets and routing them across the network

• Providing services for network applications

• Facilitating the transmission of binary data

Which protocol is used by the transport layer to provide error-free transmission?

• UDP

• IP

• TCP

• HTTP

What is the role of the Link Layer in the TCP/IP protocol stack?

• Adding IP addresses to packets

• Adding MAC addresses to packets

• Establishing communication between hosts

• Providing services for applications

When data is received, which layer removes the IP address from each packet and passes it to the transport layer?

• Application Layer

• Transport Layer

• Internet Layer

• Link Layer

What is the term used for each transfer between routers in the Internet Layer?

• Frame

• Packet

• Hop

• Socket

Which layer of the TCP/IP protocol stack is responsible for adding a header with conversation protocols, sequence numbers, and a port number?

• Application Layer

• Transport Layer

• Internet Layer

• Link Layer

What is the primary purpose of the layered approach in the TCP/IP protocol stack?

• To increase the complexity of networking

• To enable products from different vendors to work together

• To provide a single protocol for all network communication

• To eliminate the need for hardware in networking
