Question No: 35 ( Marks: 3 )
How does the checksum checker know that the received data unit is undamaged? [3]
Answer:
Checksum Checker or generator:
The sender subdivides data units into equal segments of ‘n’ bits(16 bits)
1. These segments are added together using one’s complement.
2. The total (sum) is then complemented and appended to the end of the original data unit
as redundancy bits called CHECKSUM.
3. The extended data unit is transmitted across the network.
4. The receiver subdivides data unit and adds all segments together and complement the
result.
5. If the intended data unit is intact, total value found by adding the data segments and the
checksum field should be zero.
6. If the result is not zero, the packet contains an error & the receiver rejects it.
Question No: 36 ( Marks: 3 )
Which one has more overhead, a repeater or a bridge? Explain your answer. [3]
Answer:
A bridge has more overhead than a repeater. A bridge processes the packet at two
layers ; a repeater processes a frame at only one layer. A bridge needs to search a
table and find the forwarding port as well as to regenerate the signal; a repeater
only regenerates the signal. In other words, a bridge is also a repeater (and more); a
repeater is not a bridge.

Question No: 38 ( Marks: 3 )
How parity bits are counted in VRC error detection method technique in case of
odd parity generator?
Answer:
For example:
We want to TX the binary data unit 1100001
Adding together the number of 1’s gives us 3, an odd number Before TX, we pass the
data unit through a parity generator, which counts the 1’s and appends the parity bit (1) to
the end The total number of 1’s is now 4, an even number The system now transfers the
entire expanded across the network link When it reaches its destination, the RX puts all 8
bits through an even parity checking function
If the RX sees 11100001, it counts four ones, an even number and the data unit passes
When the parity checker counts the 1’s, it gets 5 an odd number The receiver knows that
an error has occurred somewhere and therefore rejects the whole unit Some systems may
also use ODD parity checking The principal is the same as even parity
Question No: 39 ( Marks: 5 )

Question No: 21 ( Marks: 2 )
Is there a comparison between TCP/IP reference model and OSI reference model.
Both the TCP/IP and OSI are international standards for data communication. Both use
the concept of protocol layering. These are theconceptual tools that is often used to show
how various protocols and technologies fit together to implement networks. The
functions that the model represents are much the same. This means that the TCP/IP and
the OSI models are really quite similar in nature even if they don't carve up the network
functionality pie in precisely the same way. There is a fairly natural correspondence
between the TCP/IP and OSI layers; it just isn't always a “one-to-one” relationship. Since
the OSI model is used so widely, it is common to explain the TCP/IP architecture both in
terms of the TCP/IP layers and the corresponding OSI layers
Question No: 22 ( Marks: 2 )
How can a datagram be transmitted across a physical network that does
not understand the datagram format?
Encapsulate!
The network interface layer encapsulates an entire datagram in the data area of a
hardware frame.
The network hardware ignores the datagram format.
The hardware treats a frame containing a datagram like any other frame.
The sender places a frame type in the frame header indicating that the frame
contains a datagram.
The receiver reads the frame type and knows the frame contains a datagram.
Question No: 23 ( Marks: 2 )

Twice NAT is another variant of NAT. it is used with site that runs server. In this process
NAT box is connected to Domain Name.

Question No: 25 ( Marks: 3 )
“To achieve a hierarchy, OSPF allows an autonomous system to be partitioned for
routing purposes”. Does this feature make OSPF more complex or powerful?
Question No: 26 ( Marks: 3 )
Why does IPv6 use separate Extension Headers?
IPv6 use separate Extension Headers. Fragmentation information is kept in separate
extension header. Each fragment has base header and (inserted) fragmentation header.
Entire datagram including originalheader may be fragmented.
Question No: 27 ( Marks: 5 )
Consider the IP addresses: 178.200.127.5 and the corresponding subnet masks
255.255.255.0, then find out the following:
a. The number of bits used for subnetting (Answer 8 bits)
b. Total number of host in the subnet (Answer 254 )
c. The network address of the subnet. (Answer 178.200.127.0)
d. The subnet address of the IP address.
Here is the online calculator for subnetting
http://www.subnetmask.info/
http://www.subnet-calculator.com/subnet.php?net_class=B
NOTE. This is just for concept not included in the answer
The subnet mask determines what portion of the TCP/IP address represents your network
and what portion can be used for your hosts. The network number represents the street I
live on, and the host portion is used for the numbers on all the houses on my street.
A subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 means that the first three octets of the address will be
used for the network, and thus our network number is 192.168.1. This means we can
have 254 computers on this network, because the fourth octet is not being used by the
network portion of the address. We know this because of the 0 in the subnet mask
(255.255.255.0).
Question No: 28 ( Marks: 5 )
How does IP software reassemble fragments that arrive out of order?
A unique ID number of each outgoing datagram
When a router fragments the datagram, the router copies the ID number into each
fragment.
The fragment OFFSET field tells a receiver how to order fragmentswithin a given
datagram
The process of creating a copy of the original datagram from fragments is
called reassembly.
Question No: 29 ( Marks: 5 )

List down and describe atleast five charachteristics of Routing Information
Protocol.
ROUTING INFORMATION PROTOCOL (RIP):
It has the following characteristics:
"It is used for routing within an autonomous system (IGP).
"Hop Count Metric: RIP measures distance in network hops, where each network
between the source and destination counts as a single hop.
"It uses UDP for all message transmissions.
"RIP is used over LAN. Version 1 of RIP uses hardware broadcast and version 2 allows
delivery via multicast.
"It can be used to advertise default route propagation. An organization can use RIP to
install a default route in each router.
"It uses distance vector algorithm.
"RIP allows hosts to listen passively and update its routing table

On of the design goals for unicast route propagation is __________.
► Consistency
► inconsistency
► stability
► dynamic addressing
On of the design goals for unicast route propagation is stability—continual changes in route are
undesirable because they lead to higher jitter and datagram arriving out of order. Thus, once a
unicast routing protocol finds a shortest path, it usually retains the route until a failure makes the
path unusable. (Reference from E-book)
Question No: 41 ( Marks: 1 ) - Please choose one
Propagation multicast routing information differs dramatically from unicast route propagation?
► True
► False
Propagating multicast routing information differs dramatically from unicast route propagation. The
difference arises because internet multicast allows dynamic group membership and autonomous
senders

The IP multicast abstraction allows an application running on an arbitrary computer to leave a
multicast group at any time. While _____________ application on a computer remain a member of a
group.
► One or more
► only one
► no
► many

To save traffic, an EGP does not summerize routing information from the autonomous system before
passing it to another autonomous system.
► True
► False
To save traffic, an EGP summerize routing information from the autonomous system before passing it
to another autonomous system. More important an EGP implements policy constraints that allow a
system manager to determine exactly what information is released outside the
organization. (Reference from E-book)

UDP offers application programs a Message-Oriented Interface, applications can depend on protocol
to preserve data boundaries.
► True
► False
UDP offers application programs a Message-Oriented Interface. It does not divide messages into
packets for transmission and does not combine messages for delivery.
ADVANTAGES:
• Applications can depend on protocol to preserve data boundaries.
