a) Application Layer
b)
b) Presentation Layer
c)
c) Session Layer
d)
d) Transport Layer
4.
How does a frame different from a packet in the OSI model?
a)
Frames contain both the network and data link layer addresses, facilitating local network communication, while packets only carry the network layer address for broader routing.
b)
Frames are used for error detection and correction at the data link layer (Layer 2), while packets focus on routing and logical addressing at the network layer (Layer 3).
c)
A frame corresponds to the data link layer (Layer 2) and is responsible for local network communication, while a packet belongs to the network layer (Layer 3) and is involved in end-to-end communication across multiple networks.
d)
A frame operates at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model, whereas a packet operates at the network layer (Layer 3).
5.
What is the difference between connectionless and connection-oriented services in the OSI model?
a)
a) Connectionless services deliver data without establishing a connection, while connection-oriented services establish a connection before transferring data.
b)
b) Connectionless services can only transfer data within the same network, while connection-oriented services can transfer data between different networks.
c)
c) Connectionless services cannot handle large data transfers, while connection-oriented services can.
d)
d) Connectionless services require a physical cable connection, while connection-oriented services do not.
6.
