TCP/IP model does not have ______ layer but OSI model have this layer.

a) session layer
b) transport layer
c) application layer
d) network layer
QUIZ

Answer: a
Explanation: In OSI reference model, there are two layers which are not
present in TCP/IP model. They are Presentation and Session layer. The
functions of Presentation and Session layer in the OSI model are handled by
the transport layer itself in TCP/IP.
QUIZ

Transmission data rate is decided by ____________

a) network layer
b) physical layer
c) data link layer
d) transport layer
QUIZ

Answer: b
Explanation: Physical layer is a layer 1 device which deals with network
cables or the standards in use like connectors, pins, electric current used etc.
Basically the transmission speed is determined by the cables and connectors
used. Hence it is physical layer that determines the transmission speed in
network. Some of the cables used for high speed data transmission are optical
fiber cables and twisted pair cables.
