IV. Short Answer Questions

1. Networking concept and components of data communication:

NETWORKING refers to the interconnection of computing devices to share resources and


information. The FIVE MAIN COMPONENTS of data communication are:

- MESSAGE: The information to be communicated


- SENDER: The device sending the message
- RECEIVER: The device receiving the message
- TRANSMISSION MEDIUM: The physical path of the message
- PROTOCOL: Rules governing the data transmission

These components work together by allowing the SENDER to encode a MESSAGE, transmit it
through a TRANSMISSION MEDIUM using agreed-upon PROTOCOLS, and enabling the
RECEIVER to decode and interpret the message.

2. Comparison of LAN, MAN, and WAN:


- LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN): Covers a small area (building/campus), high-speed, privately
owned.
Example: Office network
Advantage: Fast data transfer
Limitation: Limited geographical area

- METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK (MAN): Covers a city, medium speed, can be publicly or
privately owned.
Example: City-wide government network
Advantage: Connects multiple LANs
Limitation: More complex than LAN

- WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN): Covers large geographical areas, lower speed, often uses public
networks.
Example: Internet
Advantage: Global connectivity
Limitation: Can be slower and less secure than LAN/MAN

3. Network devices and their functions:

- MODEM: Converts digital signals to analog and vice versa for transmission over telephone lines.
- ROUTER: Forwards data packets between computer networks, deciding the best path.
- HUB: Connects multiple devices in a network, broadcasting data to all connected devices.
- SWITCH: Similar to a hub but more intelligent, sending data only to the intended recipient.

These devices differ in their data handling:


- Modems handle signal conversion
- Routers handle packet routing
- Hubs broadcast indiscriminately
- Switches direct traffic efficiently

4. Common network security threats:

- VIRUSES: Malicious programs that replicate and spread


- PHISHING: Fraudulent attempts to obtain sensitive information
- DENIAL OF SERVICE (DoS): Overwhelming a system to make it unavailable

Security measures:
- Antivirus software
- Firewalls
- Regular software updates
- User education on security practices

5. Differentiation:

a) Modem vs Router:
- MODEM: Converts digital to analog signals and vice versa
- ROUTER: Directs network traffic between different networks

b) Hub vs Switch:
- HUB: Broadcasts data to all connected devices
- SWITCH: Intelligently directs data only to intended recipients

6. Basic HTML document code:

<html>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<title>Basic HTML Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
<p>This is a basic HTML document.</p>
</body>
</html>

7. Purpose of <head> and <body> sections in HTML:

The <HEAD> section contains meta-information about the HTML page, such as the title, character
encoding, and links to external resources. It is not displayed in the browser window.

The <BODY> section contains the visible content of the HTML page, including text, images, and
other elements that are rendered by the browser.
