Question Bank
UNIT I: Basic Concepts, OSI and TCP/IP Models, Transmission Media

1. Explain the components of data communication. How do they facilitate the process of
communication?

2. Compare and contrast distributed processing with centralized processing. What are the advantages
and disadvantages of each?

3. Describe different line configurations used in networking. Provide examples for each configuration.

4. What are the common network topologies? Discuss their characteristics and suitability for different
types of networks.

5. Explain different transmission modes in networking. Give examples of applications where each mode
is typically used.

6. Compare the OSI model and the TCP/IP model in terms of their layer architecture and functionality.

7. Discuss the characteristics of guided and unguided transmission media. Provide examples of each
type.

8. Define and differentiate between attenuation, distortion, and noise in the context of signal
transmission.

9. What factors affect the throughput of a communication channel? How is throughput related to
bandwidth and data rate?

10. Explain the concepts of propagation speed, wavelength, and Shannon Capacity in the context of
transmission media.

UNIT II: Telephony, Data Link Layer, ISDN

1. Explain the principles of multiplexing in telecommunications. Compare WDM, TDM, and FDM
multiplexing techniques.
2. Differentiate between circuit switching, packet switching, and message switching. Provide examples
of applications for each switching method.

3. Discuss the types of errors that can occur in data transmission. How are these errors detected and
corrected at the data link layer?

4. Describe framing techniques such as character and bit stuffing. What are their purposes in data
communication?

5. Compare and contrast different error detection and correction methods used in data link layer
protocols.

6. Explain the concept of flow control in data communication. How is it achieved in practice?

7. What are the key services provided by ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network)? Provide a historical
overview of its development and adoption.

UNIT III: Network Layer

1. Describe the role of the network layer in the OSI model. What are the key functions of this layer?

2. Compare and contrast various internetworking devices: repeaters, hubs, bridges, switches, routers,
gateways, and modems.

3. Explain the concept of IP addressing. What is subnetting and how is it used to manage IP address
space?

4. Discuss different routing methods used in network layer protocols. Compare static and dynamic
routing approaches.

5. Explain the operation of Distance Vector and Link State routing protocols. Provide examples of each
type.

6. Discuss the role and operation of unicast routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF, and BGP.

7. Describe the purpose and operation of ARP (Address Resolution Protocol), IP (Internet Protocol), ICMP
(Internet Control Message Protocol), and IPv6 in modern networking.

UNIT IV: Transport and Upper Layers in OSI Model

1. Discuss the functions of the Transport layer in the OSI model. What are the key protocols operating at
this layer?

2. Explain the concept of connection management in the Transport layer. How is it different from session
management in the Session layer?

3. Describe the functions and responsibilities of the Session layer in the OSI model.
4. What are the functions of the Presentation layer in the OSI model? How does it facilitate data
exchange between different systems?

5. Discuss the responsibilities and examples of applications that operate at the Application layer of the
OSI model.
