Subject: 22634 - Computer Networks and Data Communication

Q1. Attempt any FIVE (2 marks each)

a) Define Bit rate and Baud rate.

- Bit Rate: It is the number of bits transmitted per second over a communication channel. It is

measured in bps.

- Baud Rate: It is the number of signal changes or symbols transmitted per second. Measured in

baud.

Relation: Bit Rate = Baud Rate × Number of bits per symbol.

b) Classify networks on the basis of transmission technology.

- Broadcast Networks: A single channel is shared by all machines (e.g., LAN).

- Point-to-Point Networks: A direct connection between pairs of devices (e.g., WAN).

c) Function of transport layer in TCP/IP.

- Ensures reliable data transmission, segmentation/reassembly, flow/error/congestion control.

d) OSI layer for moving data in/out of physical link.

- Data Link Layer: Handles framing, addressing, error detection/correction, flow control.

e) Application of infrared waves.

- Remote controls, wireless peripherals, short-range data transfer.

f) Application of firewall.

- Filters traffic, protects against unauthorized access, malware.


g) Need for IPv6.

- Overcome IPv4 limitations, supports more addresses, better security, simplified headers.

Q2. Attempt any THREE (4 marks each)

a) Components of data communication system:

1. Message, 2. Sender, 3. Receiver, 4. Transmission Medium, 5. Protocol

b) Synchronous vs Asynchronous transmission:

- Synchronous: Continuous, blocks, fast, requires sync.

- Asynchronous: Char-by-char, start/stop bits, simple.

c) Transport and Application Layer functions:

- Transport: Reliable delivery, segmentation, error control.

- Application: User interface, provides services like HTTP, FTP, SMTP.

d) Checksum error detection:

- Add segments, take 1's complement (checksum), verify at receiver using same method.

Q3. Attempt any THREE (4 marks each)

a) OSI Layers and Functions:

- Bit rate control - Physical, Framing - Data Link, Logical Addressing - Network, Encryption -

Presentation

b) CRC for 100100, divisor 1101:

- Append 3 zeros, divide using XOR, remainder is CRC


c) Devices and OSI Layer:

- Bridge - Data Link, Router - Network, Gateway - All, Hub - Physical

d) Classful vs Classless addressing:

- Classful: Fixed classes, inefficient

- Classless: CIDR, efficient

Q4. Attempt any THREE (4 marks each)

a) Twisted Pair vs Coaxial Cable:

- Twisted Pair: Cheaper, short range

- Coaxial: Expensive, long range

b) Guided vs Unguided media:

- Guided: Wired (TP, Coax, Fiber)

- Unguided: Wireless (Radio, Micro, IR)

c) Transport layer functions:

- Segmentation, error control, flow control, connection management

d) Public vs Private IP:

- Public: Global, routable

- Private: Local, non-routable

Q5. Attempt any TWO (6 marks each)


a) CSMA/CD:

- Listen, transmit, detect collision, backoff, retry

b) IPv4 Header:

- Version, Header Length, ToS, Total Length, ID, Flags, Fragment Offset, TTL, Protocol, Checksum,

Source IP, Destination IP

c) Email components & working:

- UA, MTA, Mailbox, Mail Server

- SMTP sends, POP3/IMAP receives

Q6. Attempt any TWO (6 marks each)

a) IP Classes:

- A (1-126), B (128-191), C (192-223), D (224-239), E (240-255)

b) DNS working:

- Resolver -> Root -> TLD -> Authoritative -> IP

c) Firewall: Need & Types:

- Need: Network security

- Types: Packet filtering, Stateful, Proxy, NGFW
