Which of the following statements is true?

  1. File transfer is an example of the standard at presentation layer.

Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Increase in data transmission rate leads to a higher number of packets, being transmitted at the same time.

  1. Bridge

  2. Router

  3. Repeater

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Repeater is a device used to regenerate the electric signal, in order to extend the LAN segment beyond its physical limits. It works on the physical layer because of signals.

How can we measure the traffic in telephone network?

  1. DPCM

  2. PSTN

  3. Relative congestion

  4. Erlangs


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Usually traffic is measured in telephone network by erlangs. Erlangs is a measure of transmission, of the telephone network.

The layer SUBNET comprises of

  1. layers 1 and 3

  2. layers 1 and 2

  3. All layers

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All of the above answers are incorrect because subnet usually comprises the Network layer. The Network Layer is known as the communication subnet layer, which controls operations of subnets by determining how packets are to be distributed /routed between the networks (subnets).

The UDP and INTERNET protocol suites are related to

  1. layer 4

  2. layer 2

  3. layer 3

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Layer -4 is a transport layer in which UDP (user datagram protocol ) and IP (internet protocol ) are present. There are five classes of standards for transport layer, which differ in degree of error recovery. 

Which of the following methods is used to indentify the cable breaks?

  1. TDR

  2. Terrestrial link

  3. TDM

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

TDR stands for Time Domain Reflectometry. It is a method for detecting fault and breaks in the cable. TDR measures the time it takes for signal, to travel down the cable and reflect back.

What is the diffrerence between the frame format of CSMA/CD and Ethernet protocol?

  1. FCS

  2. Error control

  3. PAD

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All the above answers are incorrect because frame format of CSMA/CD and Ethernet protocol, differ in size of preamble and address blocks.

Which of the following statements is true?

  1. Signalling bit rate and baud rate are always equal.

  2. Bandwidth limitation causes signal shape distortion.

  3. White noise is a natural noise.

  4. Dynamic allocation of time slot on demand takes place on synchronous one.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Limited bandwidth limits the data rate, and leads to distortion, in the signal shape.

Which of the following devices is used for carrier detection and collision detection in LAN's?

  1. Bridge

  2. Repeater

  3. Trans-reciever

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Trans-receiver is used for carrier detection and collision detection in LAN's. These detections are called CSMA/CD.

Which of the following techniques is used in high speed modem?

  1. QAM

  2. Multiplexing

  3. Quantization

Which of the following techniques is/are used by frame relay?

  1. Message switching

  2. Circuit switching

  3. Connection oriented packet switching

  4. All of the above

Frame relay uses connection oriented switching technique because synchronous frames of data are routed to different destinations depending on header information.

Which of the following statements is true with respect to switches?

  1. Switches are limited to small networks.

  2. Switches are inefficient.

  3. Switches are not used presently.

  4. Switches are better than the hubs.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Switches are better than the hubs. Switches amplify the bandwidth, so that the same throughput is provided, to each of the machines, connected to the switch. On the other hand, hub simply divides the throughput equally among various nodes, connected to it.

How many segments can be implemented on the LAN Ethernet with 10 base 5?

  1. 5

  2. 4

  3. 3

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The 10 base 5 permits five cable segments, multiple 10 base 5 segments may be connected through repeaters to form a larger network, that still consists of a single collision domain. A repeater regenerates the signals from receiving it from one cable segment, and transmitting to all cables.

What is the motive to take range of IP address from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255?

  1. To reserve for local link addressing

  2. Used for a multicast packet

  3. To reserve for broadcast

  4. To reserve for loopback


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Range of ip address is from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 used for multicast packets. It is used to transmit the same packet, from a single source, to a group of selected destinations.

What are the rules that govern a communication exchange called?

  2. Protocol

  3. NIC

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
