Protocols and Data Communication Quiz

What does the term 'syntax' refer to in the context of protocols?

• The structure or format of the data

• The meaning of the bits

• The speed of data transmission

• When data should be sent

Which of the following best describes 'semantics' in a protocol?

• The speed at which data is sent

• The meaning of each section of bits

• The timing of data transmission

• The structure of the data

In terms of timing, what is crucial for effective data transmission?

• The speed at which data is processed

• The format of the data

• The meaning of the data

• The sender's address

What is an example of a simplex communication channel?

• Radio broadcast

• Walkie talkie

• Telephone

• Internet connection

Which type of communication allows data to be sent and received, but not simultaneously?

• Half Duplex

• Static IP

• Full Duplex

• Simplex

What is a characteristic of full duplex communication?

• Data can only be received

• Data is sent at a slower speed

• Data can flow in both directions simultaneously

• Data can only flow in one direction

What is the difference between static and dynamic IP addressing?

• Both are the same

• Static IP addresses do not change, dynamic do

• Dynamic IP addresses are fixed, static are temporary

• Static IP addresses change over time, dynamic do not

Which of the following best describes a half-duplex channel?

• Data can flow in both directions, but not simultaneously

• Data is sent at a fixed speed

• Data can only flow in one direction

• Data can flow in both directions at the same time

What does DHCP stand for?

• Dynamic Host Control Protocol

• Data Host Configuration Protocol

• Data Host Control Protocol

• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of semantics in protocols?

• Understanding field definitions

• Identifying actions based on data

• Defining the structure of data

• Interpreting the meaning of bits
