Q20:-Write two characterstics of Wi-Fi.

Answer: It is wireless network.

It is for short range.

Q21.What is cloud computing?

Ans:

The sharing of compute resources (dedicated, time-shared, or dynamically shared servers) and related
infrastructure components (load balncers, firewalls, network storage, developer tools, monitors and
management tools) to facilitate the deployment and operation of web and network based applications. Cloud
computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale, similar to a utility (like
the electricity grid) over a net-work.

Q22: What are repeaters?

Ans: A repeater is an electronic device that receives a signal and retransmits it at a higher level and/ or higher
power, or onto the other side of an obstruction, so that the signal can cover longer distances.

Q23. Differentiate between packet switching and message switching technique in network communication.
Answer:
In packet switched network, data are transmitted in discrete units of potentially variable length blocks called
packets, while in message switching mechanism, a node receives a message stores it until the appropriate route
is free, then sends it along.

Q2. In the mid-’80s another federal agency, the NSF created a new high capacity network called NSFnet, which
was more capable than ARPANET.

The only drawback of NSFnet was that it allowed only academic research on its network and not any kind of
private business on it.

Now, several private organisations and people started working to build their own networks, named private
networks, which were later (in the 1990s) connected with ARPANET and NSFnet to form the Internet. The

Q9:- TCP/IP, or the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, is a suite of communication protocols used
to interconnect network devices on the internet. TCP/IP can also be used as a communications protocol in a
private computer network (an intranet or an extranet).TCP defines how applications can create channels of
communication across a network. It also manages how a message is assembled into smaller packets before they
are then transmitted over the internet and reassembled in the right order at the destination address.

IP defines how to address and route each packet to make sure it reaches the right destination. Each gateway
computer on the network checks this IP address to determine where to forward the message. TCP/IP uses the
client-server model of communication in which a user or machine (a client) is provided a service (like sending a
webpage) by another computer (a server) in the network. Collectively, the TCP/IP suite of protocols is classified
as stateless, which means each client request is considered new because it is unrelated to previous requests.
Being stateless frees up network paths so they can be used continuously.

i)Which of the following protocols is used in the internet?

HTTP
DHCP
DNS
All of the above
Ans. d

ii)Which one of the following is not an application layer protocol used in internet?

Remote procedure call

Internet relay chat
Resource reservation protocol
Local procedure call
Ans. c

iii) Which protocol assigns IP address to the client connected to the internet?

DHCP
IP
RPC
RSVP
Ans. a

iv) Internet protocols are a set of rules to govern communication between

computers on a network
standard
metropolitan communication
bandwidth
Ans. A
