Explain how multiple computing devices work together in a network.
By connecting through a central server
By sharing resources and communicating via protocols
By using individual isolated systems
By relying solely on wireless connections
Explain the basic principles of how the Internet operates as a 'network of networks'.
The Internet is a single large network
The Internet connects multiple smaller networks
The Internet operates without any protocols
The Internet is a private network for specific users
Explain the concept of packet-switching—how data is broken into packets, sent, and reassembled.
Data is sent as a single large file
Data is divided into smaller packets for efficient transmission
Packets are sent without any reassembly
Packets are sent only through one fixed route
Describe the difference between the Internet (the infrastructure) and the World Wide Web (the service on top of it).
The Internet and the Web are the same
The Internet is the physical network, while the Web is a service using it
The Web is the infrastructure, while the Internet is the service
The Internet is only used for email, while the Web is for websites
Define 'fault tolerance' and describe its benefits for systems like the Internet.
Fault tolerance ensures systems never fail
Fault tolerance allows systems to continue functioning despite failures
Fault tolerance eliminates all vulnerabilities
Fault tolerance is only applicable to hardware systems
Explain the specific features (e.g., decentralized design, redundant pathways) that make the Internet fault-tolerant.
Centralized control and single pathways
Decentralized design and redundant pathways
Limited connectivity and fixed routes
Exclusive reliance on wireless networks
Identify real-world examples of vulnerabilities that can still cause disruptions (e.g., undersea cable cuts, DNS attacks).
Undersea cable cuts
DNS attacks
Power outages
All of the above
