What is a transmission control protocol (TCP) socket?
- A.
  
  Regular of how many information passes over a TCP connection before the receiving host must send an acknowledgement
- B.
  
  Reference location of a particular application or process on each machine (in the application layer)
- C.
  
  Combination of a port number and IP address used by a process to request network services and passes as an argument between layers
- D.
  
  Preventer of network congestion by ensuring that transmitting devices do not overwhelm receiving devices data
Correct Answer
C. Combination of a port number and IP address used by a process to request network services and passes as an argument between layers

Explanation
A TCP socket is a combination of a port number and IP address used by a process to request network services and passes as an argument between layers. This allows the process to establish a connection with another process on a remote machine and exchange data over the network. The port number helps identify the specific process or service on the remote machine, while the IP address identifies the machine itself. By combining these two elements, the TCP socket enables communication between processes on different machines in a network.

- D.
  
  Regulate how much information passes over a TCP connection before the receiving host must send an acknowledgement
Correct Answer
D. Regulate how much information passes over a TCP connection before the receiving host must send an acknowledgement

Explanation
A sliding window in TCP is used to regulate the amount of information that can pass over a TCP connection before the receiving host must send an acknowledgement. This helps in controlling the flow of data and preventing network congestion by ensuring that transmitting devices do not overwhelm receiving devices with data.

What portion of the IP datagram (packet) allows IP to detect datagrams with corrupted headers and discard them?
- A.
  
  Version identification
- B.
  
  Header checksum
- C.
  
  Time to live
- D.
  
  Flags
Correct Answer
B. Header checksum

Explanation
The header checksum is a portion of the IP datagram that allows IP to detect if the header has been corrupted during transmission. It is a mathematical calculation performed on the header contents, and the result is included in the datagram. When the recipient receives the datagram, it recalculates the checksum and compares it to the one included in the packet. If they don't match, it indicates that the header has been corrupted, and the datagram is discarded. Therefore, the header checksum helps ensure the integrity of the IP datagram.

What value is the maximum of an octet in IPv4?
- A.
  
  239
- B.
  
  254
- C.
  
  255
- D.
  
  256
Correct Answer
C. 255

Explanation
An octet in IPv4 is represented by 8 bits, which can have a maximum value of 255. This is because the binary representation of 255 is 11111111, where all the bits are set to 1. Therefore, 255 is the highest value that can be represented by an octet in IPv4.

Which classes allow for a maximum of 254 hosts per network?
- A.
  
  Class A Address
- B.
  
  Class B Address
- C.
  
  Class C Address
- D.
  
  Class D Address
Correct Answer
C. Class C Address

Explanation
Class C addresses allow for a maximum of 254 hosts per network. In Class C addressing, the first three octets are used to identify the network, while the last octet is used to identify the host. Since the last octet can have a maximum value of 255 (including the network and broadcast addresses), the total number of available hosts is 256. However, the network and broadcast addresses are reserved, leaving 254 usable hosts per network. Class A and Class B addresses have larger network portions, allowing for more networks but fewer hosts per network. Class D addresses are used for multicast and do not have a specific limit on the number of hosts.

What class is reserved for multicast addressing?
- A.
  
  Class A Address
- B.
  
  Class B Address
- C.
  
  Class C Address
- D.
  
  Class D Address
Correct Answer
D. Class D Address

Explanation
Class D Address is reserved for multicast addressing. Multicast addressing allows a single packet to be sent to multiple destinations simultaneously. Class D addresses range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 and are used for multicast group addresses. These addresses are not assigned to specific devices but rather to groups of devices that are interested in receiving the multicast traffic. Multicast addresses are commonly used for multimedia streaming, online gaming, and other applications that require efficient distribution of data to multiple recipients.

- C.
  
  49152-65535
- D.
  
  65536-87000
Correct Answer
A. 0-1023

Explanation
The well-known port numbers range from 0 to 1023. These port numbers are assigned to commonly used protocols and services such as HTTP (port 80), FTP (port 21), and SSH (port 22). They are reserved for specific purposes and are typically associated with standard protocols used in networking.

What characteristic is the major difference between RAM and ROM?
- A.
  
  ROM is volatile, RAM is non-volatile
- B.
  
  ROM is non-volatile, RAM is volatile
- C.
  
  RAM has a slower access time versus ROM
- D.
  
  ROM has a slower access time versus RAM
Correct Answer
B. ROM is non-volatile, RAM is volatile

Explanation
The major difference between RAM and ROM is their volatility. ROM (Read-Only Memory) is non-volatile, meaning that it retains its data even when power is lost. On the other hand, RAM (Random Access Memory) is volatile, which means it requires a constant power supply to maintain its data.

  Speed up system ROM
- B.
  
  Reduce HDD access time to stored data
- C.
  
  Reduce CPU access time to stored data
- D.
  
  Reduce RAM access time to stored data
Correct Answer
C. Reduce CPU access time to stored data

Explanation
The main purpose of system cache is to reduce CPU access time to stored data. System cache stores frequently accessed data from RAM in a faster cache memory, allowing the CPU to retrieve the data quickly without having to access the slower RAM. This helps to improve overall system performance and efficiency by reducing the time it takes for the CPU to access data.
