Telephone systems may be classified as
- A.
Duplex and symmetrical.
- B.
Duplex and asymmetrical.
- C.
Simplex and asymmetrical
- D.
simplex and symmetrical
Correct Answer
A. Duplex and symmetrical.Explanation
Telephone systems can be classified as duplex and symmetrical because they allow for simultaneous two-way communication, meaning both parties can speak and listen at the same time. Additionally, these systems are symmetrical because they provide equal bandwidth and capacity for both the sending and receiving of signals. This allows for efficient and balanced communication between parties.Rate this question:

A network that provides a constant bandwidth for the complete duration of a message transfer is a
- A.
circuit switched network
- B.
cell switched network
- C.
packet switched network
- D.
None
Correct Answer
A. circuit switched networkExplanation
A circuit switched network provides a constant bandwidth for the complete duration of a message transfer. This means that a dedicated communication path is established between the sender and receiver for the entire duration of the communication. This ensures that the bandwidth is reserved and available exclusively for the message being transferred, resulting in a reliable and consistent transfer of data. In contrast, in packet switched networks, data is divided into packets and sent independently, which may result in varying bandwidth availability and potential delays. Therefore, the correct answer is a circuit switched network.Rate this question:
-

A router:
- A.
determines on which outgoing link a packet is to be forwarded.
- B.
forwards a packet to the next free outgoing link.
- C.
Forwards a packet to all outgoing links
- D.
forwards a packet to all outgoing links, except the link upon which the packet originated.
Correct Answer
C. Forwards a packet to all outgoing linksExplanation
A router forwards a packet to all outgoing links because it needs to ensure that the packet reaches its intended destination. By sending the packet to all outgoing links, the router increases the chances of the packet reaching its destination even if there are multiple possible paths. This is especially important in cases where there may be network congestion or link failures, as the packet can still be delivered through an alternate path.Rate this question:

The Internet is an example of a:
- A.
Packet switched network
- B.
Cell switched network
- C.
Circuit switched network
- D.
None
Correct Answer
A. Packet switched networkExplanation
The Internet is an example of a packet switched network because it breaks down data into small packets and sends them separately over the network. These packets can take different routes to reach their destination and are reassembled at the receiving end. This method allows for efficient and flexible data transmission, as multiple packets can be sent simultaneously and the network resources can be shared among multiple users.Rate this question:

The Domain Name System (DNS) is primarily used to:
- A.
Remove the need for a user to indicate a host they wish to communicate with by means of an IP address
- B.
Determine the symbolic name of a host, given its IP address
- C.
Determine the IP address of a host, given its MAC address
- D.
Determine the MAC address of a host, given its IP address.
Correct Answer
A. Remove the need for a user to indicate a host they wish to communicate with by means of an IP addressExplanation
The correct answer is "remove the need for a user to indicate a host they wish to communicate with by means of an IP address." This means that the DNS allows users to access websites or other hosts on the internet by using domain names (such as www.example.com) instead of having to remember and enter the corresponding IP address (such as 192.168.0.1). The DNS system translates the domain name into the corresponding IP address, making it easier for users to access websites and communicate with hosts on the internet.Rate this question:
