b)

The new version features advanced techniques to redirect network traffic, making the Internet faster and easier to use.

c)

While not available everywhere, the new version enables devices to access the Internet using personalized IP addresses.

d)

The new version categories IP addresses, which makes them easier to remember and locate.

3.

Which of the following is NOT true about packets?

a)

Packets are numbered so if they arrive out of order the message can be reassembled.

b)

A message sent across the Internet can always be contained in a single packet.

Packets are routed on different paths from sender to receiver.

d)

The receiver computer must confirm to the sending computer that each packet was received.

c)

There is one router which receives and redirects all the traffic of the Internet.

d)

A packet travelling between two computers on the Internet may be rerouted many times along the way.

e)

A packet contains addressing information to allow routers to decide how best to forward along that packet towards its destination.

8.

Which of the following statements are true about packets and routing on the Internet? (choose 2)

a)

Packets travelling across the Internet take a standardized amount of time and so can be counted on to arrive in the order they were sent.

b)

TCP ensures messages can be reliably transmitted across the Internet.

c)

TCP depends on the infrastructure of the Internet to be reliable enough to ensure no packets are lost in transmission.

d)

TCP must account for the fact that packets may not arrive at a destination computer in the intended order.
