What is the collection of four protocols that outlines how data should be transmitted between devices on different networks?
The TCP/IP protocol suite is often referred to as a...
stack
group
pile
structure
Which part of the TCP/IP stack defines how various user services will work with the packet, such as web browsers and email?
Which part of the TCP/IP stack is responsible for adding the sender and recipient addresses to the header of a packet?
Link layer
(Network interface layer)
Application
Internet layer (Network layer)
Which part of the TCP/IP stack is responsible for splitting data into packets, as well as assigning each a sequence number and checksum?
Link layer
(Network interface layer)
Internet layer (Network layer)
Which part of the TCP/IP stack is responsible for preparing to transmit a packet within a specific part of the network e.g. between a switch and a wired device on a LAN, or a wireless access point and a wirelessly enabled device?
Application layer
Internet layer
(Network layer)
Link layer
(Network interface layer)
What term do we give to the rules governing how different devices will communicate with one another?
standard
In TCP/IP data is passed between each ??? until it reaches its final destination?
layer
What application layer protocol defines how web pages are to be transmitted and received?
What application layer protocol defines how web pages are to be securely transmitted and received?
What application layer protocol defines how emails are to be sent?
What application layer protocol defines how emails are to be received by a device?
Post Office Protocol (POP)
What application layer protocol defines how email is to be transmitted between webmail accounts?
SMTP
IMAP
What transport layer protocol defines how data is to be split into packets; where each packet is given a series number and a checksum?
What transport layer protocol is similar to TCP but doesn't require the recipient to confirm the data has been received?
Which transport layer protocol is best to apply to data used in live streams; for example, online gaming?
Why is TCP the best transport layer protocol to apply to data transfers which involve downloading a complete file?
Why is UDP the best transport layer protocol to apply to data transfers which involve live streaming?
UDP does not require acknowledgments for each packet sent.
What link-layer protocol governs the transfer of data from one point to another on a wired LAN?
What link-layer protocol governs the transfer of data from a wireless access point on a LAN to wirelessly enabled devices (and vice versa)?
