This means that when a process wants to communicate over a network, it needs to specify the port number and IP address of the destination. The socket acts as a unique identifier for the process and allows it to establish a connection and request network services. It is an essential component for networking communication.

What action is the purpose of a sliding window in Transmission Control Protocol?
- A.
  
  Request network services and pass an argument between layers
- B.
  
  Reference a location of a particular application or process on each machine
- C.
  
  Prevent Network congestion by ensuring that transmitting devices do not overwhelm receiving devices data
- 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 Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is used to regulate how much information can pass over a TCP connection before the receiving host must send an acknowledgement. This helps in managing the flow of data and prevents network congestion by ensuring that transmitting devices do not overwhelm receiving devices with excessive data. It allows for efficient and reliable data transmission by controlling the amount of data that can be sent before receiving confirmation from the other end.

What portion of the Internet Protocol Datagram 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 portion of the Internet Protocol Datagram allows IP to detect datagrams with corrupted headers and discard them. The checksum is a value calculated from the header contents, and it is used to verify the integrity of the header during transmission. If the checksum calculated at the receiving end does not match the one in the header, it indicates that the header has been corrupted, and the datagram is discarded to prevent any further processing with unreliable data.

What is the value is the maximum of an octet in Internet Protocol version 4?
- A.
  
  239
- B.
  
  254
- C.
  
  255
- D.
  
  256
Correct Answer
C. 255

Explanation
The value of the maximum octet in Internet Protocol version 4 is 255. In IPv4, an IP address is represented by four octets, each containing 8 bits. The maximum value that can be represented by 8 bits is 255. Therefore, the correct answer is 255.

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

Explanation
Class C allows for a maximum of 254 hosts per network. Class C addresses have a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, which means that the first three octets are used for network identification and the last octet is used for host identification. Since the last octet can have a maximum value of 255, and the network and broadcast addresses are reserved, the actual number of usable hosts is 254.

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

Explanation
Class D is reserved for multicast addressing. In IP addressing, multicast addresses are used to send data packets to a group of hosts simultaneously. Class D addresses range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255, and they are specifically designated for multicast communication. These addresses are not assigned to individual devices but rather used by multiple hosts that are interested in receiving the multicast data.

What range of numbers are those of well-known port numbers?
- A.
  
  0-1023
- B.
  
  1024-49151
- C.
  
  49152-65535
- D.
  
  65536-87000
Correct Answer
A. 0-1023

Explanation
The range of numbers that are well-known port numbers is 0-1023. Well-known port numbers are reserved for specific services or protocols, such as HTTP (port 80) or FTP (port 21), and they are commonly used and recognized by network administrators and users. Ports in this range are considered privileged and require special permissions to be opened or accessed.

What characteristic is the major difference between Random Access Memory and Read Only Memory?
- A.
  
  ROM is volatile, RAM is non-volatile
- B.
  
  ROM is non-volatile, RAM is volatile
- C.
  
  RAM has a slower access time than ROM
- D.
  
  ROM has a slower access time than RAM
Correct Answer
B. ROM is non-volatile, RAM is volatile

Explanation
The major difference between Random Access Memory (RAM) and Read Only Memory (ROM) is that ROM is non-volatile, meaning the data stored in it is not lost when the power is turned off, while RAM is volatile, meaning the data is lost when the power is turned off.

What action is the main purpose of system cache?
- A.
  
  Speed up system Read Only Memory
- B.
  
  Reduce hard drive access time to stored data
- C.
  
  Reduce central processing unit access time to stored data
- D.
  
  Reduce Random Access Memory access time to stored data
Correct Answer
C. Reduce central processing unit access time to stored data

Explanation
The main purpose of system cache is to reduce central processing unit (CPU) access time to stored data. System cache stores frequently accessed data from the main memory, allowing the CPU to retrieve it quickly without having to access the slower main memory. This helps to improve overall system performance by reducing the time it takes for the CPU to access data.
