|
Which two layers are responsible for interfacing with physical hardware on the local network? |
Physical and Data Link |
|
What protocol is determined by the type of networking Hardware technology used on a network? |
Link layer |
|
What puts control information in the header and at the end of the packet in a trailer creating a frame? |
The link layer |
|
Which layer has a MAC (media access control) address? |
Data Link |
|
Which layer is responsible for moving messages from one node to another until it reaches its destination? |
Network |
|
In which layer is an IP address assigned? |
Network |
|
Which layer is responsible for transporting application layer payloads from one application to another? |
Transport |
|
Which layer uses TCP? what does TCP stand for? |
Transport. Transmission Control Protocol. |
|
What does UDP stand for? |
User Datagram Protocol |
|
Which is used more commonly TCP or UDP? Which is faster? Why? |
UDP. UDP is faster because it is not a connection-oriented protocol, it is a connectionless protocol. |

Session |
|
Which layer is a connection for exchanging data between two parties? |
Session |
|
Which layer synchronizes the dialogue between the two nodes and determines if communications have been cut off, and, if so, figuring out where to restart the transmission? |
Session |
|
Which layer serve for the translator between the application layer and the network layer? |
Presentation |
|
Which layer is responsible for reformatting, compressing, and or encrypting data in a way that the receiving "Application" can read? |
Presentation |
|
Which layer provides interfaces to software that enables up to use Network Services done via and Application Program Interface (API), which is a routine to allow a program to interact with the OS. |
Application |
|
What are services to a user, such as a browser and web server and utility programs that provide services to the system, such as SNMP the monitor and gather information about network traffic? |
The two application protocols. |
|
Which layer synchronizes the dialog between the two nodes |
Session |
|
What is a MAC address? |
The hardware address of the source and destination NICs. |
|
Which type of area network uses MAC addresses? |
Local Area Networks |
|
What hardware is used on layer 2 of the OSI? |
NIC, Ethernet, and WiFi |
|
What is assigned to each node on a network to uniquely identify each host in layer 3? |
The IP address. |
|
What from layer 3 relies on several routing protocols to find the best route for a packet to take to reach its destination. |
The IP address |
|
What layer provides interfaces to software that enables it to use network services via an API? |
Application layer |
|
What does API stand for? What is it? |
Application Program Interface. It is a set of instructions that allows a program to interact with the Operating System. |
|
How many parts does a MAC address have? What are they? How many bits are each part? |
Two parts, the OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) or block ID or company-ID, and the device ID. |
|
How many bits are each part of the MAC address? |
24 bits each. 48 in total. |
|
How many bits does an IPv6 address have? How many blocks of what is it? |
It has 128 bits, that is 8 blocks of hexadecimal numbers separated by colons. |
|
What is a unicast address in an IPv6 Address? |
A specific single node on a network |
|
What is a multicast address on an IPv6 Address? |
An address where packets are delivered to all nodes on a network. |
|
What is an anycast address on an IPv6 Address? |
An address that can identify multiple destinations, with packets delivered to the closest destination. |
|
How are IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses different? |
IPv4 addresses only allow for 1,500 MB to flow at once, IPv6 allows for jumbo frames, at 9,000 MB to flow at once. IPv4 has little to no security, IPv6 has IPsec. IPv6 is much more expensive. |
