In data transmission what is it called when data flows in one direction at a time?
- A.
Simplex
- B.
Half-Duplex
- C.
Duplex
- D.
DSL
Correct Answer
B. Half-DuplexExplanation
Half-duplex is the correct answer because it refers to a mode of data transmission where data flows in only one direction at a time. In this mode, communication can happen in both directions, but not simultaneously. This means that while one device is transmitting data, the other device can only receive it, and vice versa. It is different from simplex, where data flows in only one direction, and duplex, where data flows in both directions simultaneously. DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) is a technology used for high-speed internet access and is not related to the question.Rate this question:

IP Addresses can be divided into categories. What is Class B defined as?
- A.
Large networks, implemented by large companies in some countries
- B.
Medium sized networks, implemented by universites
- C.
Experimental testing
- D.
Special use for multicasting
- E.
Small networks, implemented by ISPs for customer subscriptions
Correct Answer
B. Medium sized networks, implemented by universitesExplanation
Class B IP addresses are defined as medium-sized networks implemented by universities. This class of IP addresses provides a larger range of available addresses compared to Class A, making it suitable for organizations that require a moderate number of network addresses. Class B addresses have a network portion of 16 bits and can support up to 65,536 hosts per network. This allocation allows universities and other medium-sized organizations to have sufficient IP addresses to accommodate their network infrastructure and users.Rate this question:

What does a Class A Subnet mask look like?
- A.
255.0.0.0
- B.
255.255.0.0
- C.
255.255.255.0
- D.
255.255.255.255
Correct Answer
A. 255.0.0.0Explanation
A Class A subnet mask is represented by the IP address 255.0.0.0. In this subnet mask, the first octet (255) is fully filled with 1s, indicating that the network portion of the IP address is 8 bits long. The remaining three octets (0.0.0) are filled with 0s, indicating that the host portion of the IP address is 24 bits long. This subnet mask allows for a large number of network addresses and a smaller number of host addresses, making it suitable for large networks.Rate this question:
