What is the primary function of the Internet Protocol (IP)?
Ensuring all data that travels the internet is encrypted.
Assigning domain names to websites.
Routing packets of data across networks.
Managing email communication.
Which of the following is true about packets?
Packets travel through the internet in the order they were sent
Packets take the same route through the internet every time they are sent
Routers have to look at the information inside a packet to determine where to send the packet.
Packets travel along different paths through the internet and may arrive at their destination out of order.
In the context of networking, what does the term "packet" refer to?
A piece of software that manages network connections
A unit of data transmitted over a network
A physical device that connects computers to a network
A type of router that moves binary data across the network
Which of the following allows for anyone to connect to and be able to access the internet at any time?
Public wi-fi networks
High bandwidth from wireless providers
Fault tolerant ISPs
Open Standards and Protocols
How does redundancy lead to the improved scalability of the Internet?
It provides alternative routes for data transmission, which allows for the expansion of the network.
It allows for the replication of critical network components, which can handle increased traffic and user demands without causing bottlenecks.
It distributes network traffic across multiple paths
It ensures that there are multiple backup systems in place, reducing the risk of network failures
What is the primary difference between TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and IP (Internet Protocol)?
TCP is responsible for routing data packets, while IP manages error checking and reliability.
TCP handles the addressing of devices, while IP ensures ordered and reliable data delivery.
TCP manages the establishment of network connections, while IP focuses on packet forwarding and addressing.
TCP and IP are essentially the same, with no significant differences in their functions.
Match the following
a sequence of directly connected computing devices that begins at the sender & ends at the receiver
path
the process of finding a path from sender to receiver
route
a group of computing devices and programs working together for a common purpose
computer system
a physical artifact that can run a program. Some examples include computers, tables, servers, routers, etc.
computer device
the maximum amount of data that can be sent in a fixed amount of time.
bandwidth
You connect to a public Wi-Fi hotspot, but they inform you that they limit the bandwidth. What does this mean?
The amount of time it takes for your packets to travel across the Internet will be slower.
The number of packets you can transmit is smaller.
People who connect to the hotspot will not be able to have a fault-tolerant connection.
There will be a limit to how many people can connect to the hotspot.
What distinguishes a centralized network from a distributed network?
In a centralized network, all data and control are concentrated in a single location, while in a distributed network, data and control are spread across multiple locations.
A centralized network uses wireless communication, while a distributed network relies on wired connections.
Centralized & distributed networks both have the same architecture, with differences only in the scale of their deployment
A centralized network is typically used for personal devices, while a distributed network is designed for company-level systems.
Which web development technology is primarily responsible for controlling the presentation and layout of a web page?
JavaScript
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
HTML
PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor)
Which of the following is a tradeoff involved in building a wired network compared to a wireless network?
Lower data transfer speeds
Decreased mobility
Reduced security
Greater susceptibility to interference
Match the following:
a group of interconnected computing devices capable of sending or receiving data.
Computing Network
Can continue to function even in the event of individual component failures. This is important because elements of complex systems like a computer network fail at unexpected times, often in groups.
Fault Tolerant
A type of computer that forwards data across a network
Router
a method of ensuring that data is not lost during transmission over a network.The inclusion of extra components so that a system can continue to work even if individual components fail, for example by having more than one path between any two connected devices in a network
Redundancy
A chunk of data sent over a network. Larger messages are divided into packets that may arrive at the destination in order, out-of-order, or not at all
Packet
True or False: Lack of internet access is a major cause of the digital divide.
Partially true
Not applicable
False
True
