What does TCP/IP stand for?
Transfer Control Protocol / Integrated Packet
Transmission Communication Protocol / Internal Protocol
Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol
Total Control Processing / Internet Protocol
What is the main responsibility of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)?
Addressing and routing data packets using IP addresses
Converting data into optical signals
Breaking data into smaller 'packets' and ensuring data is sent reliably and without errors
Checking the destination IP address of incoming packets
What is the main responsibility of the Internet Protocol (IP)?
Reassembling data correctly at the destination
Physically transmitting packets over the network
Addressing and routing the data packets to their destination across networks
Taking reassembled data and presenting it to the user
Which of the following is NOT one of the four layers of the TCP/IP stack model?
Application Layer
Link Layer
Session Layer
Transport Layer
When sending data, which layer is responsible for adding sequence numbers and port information to help manage the transmission?
Application Layer
Transport Layer
Internet Layer
Link Layer
When data is being received, which layer checks the destination IP address in each packet to ensure it belongs to the correct device?
Application Layer
Transport Layer
Internet Layer
Link Layer
When receiving data, the Transport Layer performs which key function?
Converts signals back into data packets
Adds source and destination IP addresses
Checks if all packets have arrived and puts them back in order
Presents the data in a way the user can understand
What is the Link Layer responsible for when physically transmitting data?
Reassembling packets in the correct order
Directing packets across the internet via routers
Converting the data into electrical, radio, or optical signals
Adding the destination IP address to the packet
Which layer is where software interacts with the network, such as when a browser sends an HTTP request?
Transport Layer
Application Layer
Internet Layer
Link Layer
When sending data, what is added to each packet in the Internet Layer?
A payload and a footer
The user's password
A source IP address (sender's device) and a destination IP address (receiver's device)
The reassembly number for the Transport Layer
Which term describes sets of rules that govern data transmission between devices, allowing them to 'speak' the same language?
IP Addresses
Packets
Stack Models
Protocols
In the process of sending an email, which layer is responsible for the user writing the email in their email app and the email being prepared for sending?
Transport Layer
Application Layer
Internet Layer
Link Layer
When receiving an email, which layer involves the recipient's device checking the packets because they match its IP address, before passing them to the next layer?
Transport Layer
Application Layer
Internet Layer
Link Layer
During the email process, what is converted into electrical/wireless signals and transmitted over Wi-Fi or Ethernet?
The recipient's IP address
The reassembled file
The header and footer
The email (once processed by the upper layers)
If packets are missing when data is being received, which protocol requests them again?
IMAP
HTTP
TCP
IP
Which layer, upon receiving incoming signals (Wi-Fi, Ethernet, etc.), converts them back into data packets?
Transport Layer
Application Layer
Internet Layer
Link Layer
At which layer do routers use IP addresses to determine the best path for packets to take across the network?
Application Layer
Transport Layer
Internet Layer
Link Layer
Which protocol is a secure version of HTTP that uses encryption to protect the data transferred between your browser and the website?
