What is circuit switching in telecommunications?

A method of communication where a dedicated communication path is established between two parties.

A technique for data transmission where data is sent in packets over a shared network.

A wireless communication method using radio waves.

A method of data encryption for secure communication.

What is the first step in the circuit switching process?

Establishing a dedicated communication path

In circuit switching, what does the system verify in the second step?

The system verifies the availability of the necessary resources to establish a dedicated communication path.

The system checks the signal strength between nodes.

The system ensures data packets are correctly sequenced.

The system verifies the encryption of the data being transmitted.

What happens after the receiver's availability is confirmed in circuit switching?

The circuit is established and communication begins.

The receiver sends a busy signal.

The system waits for a timeout.

What happens once the data transfer is complete in circuit switching?

The circuit is released and resources are freed.

The circuit remains open for future use.

The data is stored temporarily in the circuit.

The circuit switches to a new data transfer mode.

Explain the process of circuit switching using the diagram provided.

Circuit switching involves establishing a dedicated communication path between two endpoints.

Circuit switching is a method where data is sent in packets over a shared network.

Circuit switching is a process of encrypting data before transmission.

Circuit switching is a technique used to compress data for faster transmission.

Packet switching involves:

breaking data into packets and sending them independently

transmitting data in a continuous stream

using a dedicated circuit for each communication

compressing data before transmission

The role of the header in a data packet is to:

Identify the source and destination of the packet

Encrypt the data within the packet

Store the data being transmitted

Provide error correction for the data

The role of a protocol in communication and data exchange is to:

ensure secure data transmission

In a complex network, various protocols with different versions coexist. What do these protocols offer?

Compatibility and interoperability

Protocols work synergistically in a network by:

Ensuring data is transmitted accurately and efficiently

Competing with each other for network resources

Operating independently without interaction

Slowing down the network traffic

In the Signal Protocol, what key is used to encrypt the message?

The key used to encrypt the message in the Signal Protocol is the symmetric encryption key.

The key used to encrypt the message in the Signal Protocol is the public key.

The key used to encrypt the message in the Signal Protocol is the private key.

The key used to encrypt the message in the Signal Protocol is the session key.

The role of each layer in a protocol stack is to:

Provide a specific function and service to the layer above it

Ensure data is transmitted without errors

What does the port number in the header of a packet allow?

It allows the receiving application layer to direct the incoming data to the correct application or service on the destination device.

It allows the receiving end to arrange and reconstruct the data in the correct order at the transport layer.

It ensures that any response is directed back to the application protocol.

It establishes a logical connection between sender and receiver.

Why is TCP considered connection-oriented?

Because it establishes a logical connection between sender and receiver before transmitting data.

Because it allows the receiving application layer to direct the incoming data.

Because it arranges and reconstructs the data in the correct order.

Because it ensures that any response is directed back to the application protocol.

What does the network layer determine and utilize to ensure packets are efficiently directed through interconnected networks?

Optimal path and routing protocols

The role of the routing table in determining the shortest path for packet delivery in a network is to:

store the routes to various network destinations and determine the best path based on metrics like hop count, bandwidth, and delay.

encrypt the data packets to ensure secure transmission across the network.

provide a user interface for network administrators to manually configure network settings.

monitor network traffic and generate alerts for any suspicious activities.
