1 Differentiate TCP and UDP.

ANSWER:
TCP:
Is a connection oriented , reliable byte stream protocol.
It provides flow control,Error control.
UDP:
Connectionless,unreliable protocol.
It doesn’t provide flow control,error control.
2 Define Load Shedding.
ANSWER:
It is one of the approaches to congestion control. Router contains a buffer to store
packets and route it to destination. When the buffer is full, it simply discards some
packets. It chooses the packet to be discarded based on the strategy implemented in
the data link layer. This is called load shedding
3 Differentiate congestion control and flow control.
ANSWER:
Congestion control concerns the behavior of all the hosts and routers.
Flow control is concerned with making sure that the sender is not transmitting data
faster than the receiver can process it.
4 List the different approaches of traffic management at network layer.

ANSWER:
Network Provisioning
Traffic aware routing
Admission control
Traffic throttling
Load shedding
5 Define Congestion collapse.
ANSWER:
Congestion collapse occurs when increasing load on the network actually results in less
traffic being successfully delivered.
6 What are the types of port numbers used in transport layer?
ANSWER:
Well-known port
Registered port
Dynamic port

7 Define flooding.
ANSWER:
It is a technique in which every incoming packet is sent out on every outgoing line except
the one it arrived on.
8 Differentiate datagram network and virtual circuit network.
ANSWER:
9 List the two types of routing.
ANSWER:
1.Adaptive or Dynamic routing
Eg:Distance vector routing algorithm,Link state routing algorithm
2. Non-Adaptive or Static routing
Eg: Shortest path algorithm,Flooding
10 Define Congestion.
ANSWER:
Too many packets in any network cause packet delay and loss that reduce
performance This situation is called Congestion.
11 Define Silly window Syndrome.
ANSWER:
Data are passed to the sending TCP entity in large blocks, but receiver application
reads single bytes, so sender always sends one byte segments

12 What are the functions of transport layer?


ANSWER:

 Breaks messages into packets.


 Connection control.
 Addressing.
 Provide reliability.

13 List out the primitives for simple transport service.


ANSWER:
LISTEN,CONNECT,SEND,RECEIVE,DISCONNECT

14 What is Port number? List port numbers for HTTP,FTP,SMTP,POP-3


ANSWER:
Applications running on different hosts communicate with TCP with the help of a
concept called as ports. A port is a 16 bit unique number allocated to a particular
application.
HTTP-80,FTP-21,SMTP-25,POP-3-110

15 Define Socket address


ANSWER:
The combination of IP address and port address is called Socket address
16 What is TPDU?
ANSWER:
Messages sent from transport entity to transport entity.
