D G1071 Pages: 2: Answer Any Two Full Questions, Each Carries 15 Marks

This document appears to be an exam for a Computer Communication course, consisting of three parts with multiple choice and descriptive questions. Part A asks students to explain how layers in the OSI model work together and differentiate between circuit switching and packet switching. Part B focuses on networking layer topics like addressing and routing, asking students to apply Dijkstra's algorithm. Part C covers transport layer protocols like TCP and UDP, application layer protocols like HTTP and SMTP, and network security topics such as SSL, IPSec, and layers of defense. The exam tests students' understanding of computer networking concepts across the OSI model.
