C. Prevent network congestion by ensuring that transmitting devices do not overwhelm receiving devices data.
- D.
D. Regulate how much information passes over a TCP connection before the receiving host must send an acknowledgement.
Correct Answer
D. D. Regulate how much information passes over a TCP connection before the receiving host must send an acknowledgement.Explanation
The purpose of a sliding window in TCP is to regulate how much information passes over a TCP connection before the receiving host must send an acknowledgement. This helps in managing the flow of data between the sender and receiver, ensuring that the sender does not overwhelm the receiver with too much data at once. The sliding window mechanism allows for efficient and reliable data transmission by dynamically adjusting the amount of data that can be sent before waiting for acknowledgements.Rate this question:

(211) What portion of the Internet Protocol (IP) Datagram (packet) allows IP to detect datagrams with corrupted headers and discard them?
- A.
A. Version Identification.
- B.
B. Header Checksum.
- C.
C. Time to Live.
- D.
D. Flags.
Correct Answer
B. B. Header Checksum.Explanation
The correct answer is b. Header Checksum. The header checksum is a field in the IP datagram that allows IP to detect datagrams with corrupted headers. It is a simple mathematical calculation performed on the header data, and the result is included in the header. When the receiving device receives the datagram, it recalculates the checksum and compares it to the one in the header. If they don't match, it indicates that the header has been corrupted during transmission, and the datagram is discarded. This helps to ensure the integrity of the IP datagram headers.Rate this question:

(211) What value is the maximum of an octet in Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4)?
- A.
A. 239.
- B.
B. 254.
- C.
C. 255.
- D.
D. 256.
Correct Answer
C. C. 255.Explanation
The maximum value of an octet in Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) is 255. An octet is a unit of data that consists of 8 bits, and in IPv4, each octet represents a number ranging from 0 to 255. Therefore, the correct answer is c. 255.Rate this question:

(211) Which classes allow for a maximum of 254 hosts per network?
- A.
A. Class A address.
- B.
B. Class B address.
- C.
C. Class C address.
- D.
D. Class D address.
Correct Answer
C. 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 represent the network portion, while the last octet represents the host portion. Since the host portion consists of 8 bits (2^8 = 256), but the first and last addresses are reserved for network and broadcast addresses respectively, the actual number of usable hosts is 254. Class A and Class B addresses have larger network portions, which means they can accommodate more hosts per network. Class D addresses are used for multicast purposes and do not have a specific limit on the number of hosts per network.Rate this question:

(211) What class is reserved for multicast addressing?
- A.
A. Class A address.
- B.
B. Class B address.
- C.
C. Class C address.
- D.
D. Class D address.
Correct Answer
D. D. Class D address.Explanation
Class D addresses are reserved for multicast addressing. In IP addressing, multicast allows a single packet to be sent to multiple recipients simultaneously. Class D addresses range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255, and they are used for multicast groups. These addresses are not assigned to individual devices like Class A, B, or C addresses, but rather used for communication between groups of devices that have joined a multicast group.Rate this question:

(212) What range of numbers are those of well know port numbers?
- A.
A. 0–1023.
- B.
. 1024–49151.
- C.
C. 49152–65535.
- D.
D. 65536–87000.
Correct Answer
A. A. 0–1023.Explanation
Well-known port numbers range from 0 to 1023. These port numbers are assigned to commonly used services and protocols such as HTTP (port 80), FTP (port 21), and SSH (port 22). These ports are reserved for specific purposes and are well-known within the networking community.Rate this question:

(213) What characteristic is the major difference between Random Access Memory (RAM) and Read Only Memory (ROM)?
- A.
A. ROM is volatile, RAM in non-volatile.
- B.
B. ROM is non-volatile, RAM is volatile.
- C.
C. RAM has a slower access time versus ROM.
- D.
D. ROM has a slower access time versus RAM.
Correct Answer
D. D. ROM has a slower access time versus RAM.Explanation
ROM stands for Read Only Memory, which means that the data stored in ROM cannot be modified or erased. On the other hand, RAM stands for Random Access Memory, which allows data to be both read and written. The major difference between ROM and RAM is the access time. ROM has a slower access time compared to RAM, meaning that it takes more time to retrieve data from ROM compared to RAM. This is because ROM is designed for permanent storage and is typically used to store firmware or other essential system data that does not need to be accessed frequently. RAM, on the other hand, is used for temporary storage and needs to be accessed quickly.Rate this question:

(213) What action is the main purpose of system cache?
- A.
A. Speed up system Read Only Memory (ROM).
- B.
B. Reduce hard drive (HDD) access time to stored data.
- C.
C. Reduce central processing unit (CPU) access time to stored data.
- D.
D. Reduce Random Access Memory (RAM) access time to stored data.
Correct Answer
C. C. Reduce central processing unit (CPU) 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 is a small, high-speed memory that stores frequently accessed data from the main memory. By storing this data closer to the CPU, the cache reduces the time it takes for the CPU to access the data, improving overall system performance. This helps to speed up the execution of programs and tasks by reducing the time needed to fetch data from the main memory.Rate this question:
