11 SHORT ANSWER 56. ANS: It is responsible for routing packets through the internetwork. It uses ARP to find MAC addresses from IP addresses. It is responsible for delivering packets efficiently. It is responsible defining and verifying source and destination IP addresses. PTS: 1 REF: Page ANS: ARP stands for Address Resolution Protocol, and it functions in the Internetwork layer. ARP s job is to find the MAC address of a device given its IP address. PTS: 1 REF: Page ANS: Tracert sends an ICMP to the IP address with a TTL value of 1. When the first router receives the packet it decrements the TTL to 0, discards the packet, and sends a TTL-expired packet to the sending computer. When the sending computer receives the TTL-expired packet, it notes the address of the first router. Then it sends a second packet with a TTL of 2. This time the packet gets to the second router, is discarded, and the second router sends a TTL-expired packet. When Tracert receives this response, it notes the address of the second router. This continues until the packet reaches the intended IP address. PTS: 1 REF: Page ANS: TCP sets a maximum number of bytes to transmit before it must receive an acknowledgment of receipt from the receiving station. If it does not receive an acknowledgement within a certain period, it assumes an error has occurred and begins to retransmit the data since the last acknowledgement was received. PTS: 1 REF: Page ANS: When a client computer makes a request, TCP begins the session by sending the receiving computer, which is typically a server, a SYN segment. If the server is not busy, then it sends back an ACK-SYN packet acknowledging the creation of the session. Then the client computer sends back an ACK segment to finalize the connection. PTS: 1 REF: Page ANS: APIPA stands for Automatic Private IP Addressing. APIPA provides a computer with an IP address when the computer cannot contact a DHCP server. PTS: 1 REF: Page ANS: DNS allows computers to contact other computers using a familiar name instead of a hard-to-remember IP address. DNS keeps records of which name corresponds to which IP address in a DNS cache so that a frequently accessed address can be resolved quickly. DNS is an Application layer protocol. PTS: 1 REF: Pages

12 63. ANS: An IP address is a 32-bit number divided into 4, 8-bit octets that are separated by periods, which is called dotted decimal notation. The first octet denotes the class of the IP address. Each octet can have a value from 0 to 255. The address has two parts one is the network ID and the other is the host ID. The network portion of the address is determined by the subnet mask. PTS: 1 REF: Pages ANS: For Class A, all addresses beginning with 10 For Class B, addresses from to For Class C, addresses from to PTS: 1 REF: Page ANS: TCP and UDP are both Transport layer protocols, but TCP is considered reliable and UDP is considered unreliable. TCP is connection-oriented, which means that it forms a connection before it transmits data, thereby ensuring that the recipient is ready and waiting. The sender also waits for acknowledgements after sending data. This behavior makes it reliable. UDP is connectionless, so it sends data and doesn t wait to see whether anyone is listening; no acknowledgements are involved in the communication. PTS: 1 REF: Pages ANS: In a layered approach, each layer is only responsible for a specific task instead of the end-to-end communication. Therefore, when a problem occurs, it is easier to pinpoint the layer that is affected and then troubleshoot only that issue. In addition, by using a layered approach, upgrades in technology can be to individual layers without affecting the others. PTS: 1 REF: Page ANS: Application Application Presentation Application Session Application Transport Transport Network Internetwork Data Link Network Access Physical Network Access PTS: 1 REF: Pages ANS: The PDU for the Application, Presentation, and Session layers is data. The PDU at the Transport layer is a segment, at the Network layer is a packet, and at the Data Link layer is a frame. The final PDU is in the form of bits at the Physical layer. PTS: 1 REF: Page ANS: It is the project name that was given to the standard that defines all physical elements of networking communications. It represents the year and the month that the project began February of PTS: 1 REF: Page 275 4

13 70. ANS: The window size is a negotiated amount between the transmitting and receiving devices that sets the amount of data that can be transferred before an acknowledgement must be sent and received. PTS: 1 REF: Page ANS: When the window size is reached and no acknowledgement is received, then the transmitting device assumes there is a problem and begins to retransmit. If this happens, the window size is reduced, thus causing the transmitting device to send a smaller amount of data and relieving the load on the receiving device. PTS: 1 REF: Page ANS: First, it checks the destination MAC address to make sure that it is intended for itself. Then it calculates the CRC and compares it to the incoming frame s CRC to make sure that the values are the same. Next, it strips off the header and trailer information. Then the resulting packet is sent up to the Network layer. PTS: 1 REF: Page ANS: Encoding is a process performed by the Physical layer that takes the frame from the Data Link layer and changes it into 1s and 0s to be transmitted onto the medium. The type of signal that it is changed into is dependent on the type of media. PTS: 1 REF: Page ANS: Peer communication refers to the way that each layer on a transmitting computer communicates with the same layer on the receiving computer, just as though they were in direct contact. PTS: 1 REF: Pages ANS: The first layer is the Logical Link Control sublayer, and it is responsible for handling some kinds of error recovery and flow control. The second layer is the Media Access Control sublayer, and it is responsible for providing the MAC address. It also controls the way in which a device will access the network. PTS: 1 REF: Page 278 5
