1.

Why must two nodes run the same protocols at each layer to communicate?

a)

To ensure they can understand and exchange data correctly.

b)

To increase the speed of data transfer.

c)

To reduce the cost of communication.

d)

To prevent viruses from spreading.

2.

What happens when a protocol at a specific layer encapsulates the data payload received from the next-higher layer with a header?

a)

It creates a protocol data unit (PDU)

b)

It deletes the data

c)

It encrypts the data

d)

It compresses the data

3.

Why is the application layer important for network communication?

a)

It allows software programs and network hosts to exchange data using lower-level protocols.

b)

It manages the physical hardware of the network.

c)

It is responsible for error correction and retransmission.

d)

It encrypts all data before transmission.

4.

Which of the following is NOT typically handled by the presentation layer?

a)

File format conversion

b)

Character set translation

c)

Routing data packets

d)

Data encryption

5.

If a network application needs to ensure that a dialog is properly established, maintained, and ended between two devices, which OSI layer is primarily responsible for this?

a)

Data Link

b)

Session

c)

Physical

d)

Network

6.

What is the main function of the transport layer in data communication?

a)

Encrypting data for security

b)

Managing the end-to-end exchange of data

c)

Converting data into electrical signals

d)

Storing data for future use

7.

Explain why the network layer is essential for communication between different networks on the Internet.

a)

It encrypts all data for security

b)

It identifies and routes data using IP addresses, allowing data to move between different networks

c)

It manages user authentication

d)

It compresses data for faster transmission

8.

What does the data link layer header identify within a network segment?

a)

Source and destination hardware address

b)

Source and destination IP address

c)

Source and destination port number

d)

Source and destination application

9.

How is data delivered to the Physical layer encoded before transmission?

a)

As hexadecimal numbers

b)

As binary numbers (0 or 1)

c)

As decimal numbers

d)

As ASCII characters

10.

What is the correct order of the OSI model layers from bottom to top?

a)

Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, Application

b)

c)

Data Link, Physical, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, Application

d)

Network, Data Link, Physical, Application, Presentation, Session, Transport
