| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the purpose of using a source port number in a TCP communication? | to keep track of multiple conversations between devices |
| Which number or set of numbers represents a socket? | 192.168.1.1:80 |

| MKV, GIF, and JPG standards are associated with which OSI layer? | presentation |
| This is a function of the OSI session layer. | exchange of information to initiate dialog between peers |
| What part of the URL, represents the top-level DNS domain? | .com |

| Which protocol uses encryption? | HTTPS |
| Why is DHCP preferred for use on large networks? | It is a more efficient way to manage IP addresses than static address assignment. |
| Which protocol can be used to transfer messages from an email server to an email client? | POP3 |
| Which action is performed by a client when establishing communication with a server via the use of UDP at the transport layer? | The client randomly selects a source port number. |
| What is a socket? | the combination of a source IP address and port number or a destination IP address and port number |
| Which two services or protocols use the preferred UDP protocol for fast transmission and low overhead? (Choose two) | DNS VoIP |
| What is the TCP mechanism used in congestion avoidance? | sliding window |
| These three OSI layers define the same functions as the TCP/IP model application layer. | presentation application session |
| What is a well-known format for videos? | MOV |
| This layer of the OSI model is concerned with the protocols that exchange data between programs running on hosts. | application |
| Compressing data in a way that can be decompressed by the destination device, is a function of which layer? | Presentation Layer |
| Which application layer protocol is used to provide file-sharing and print services to Microsoft applications? | SMB |
| A wireless host needs to request an IP address. What protocol would be used to process the request? | DHCP |
| Which two operations are provided by TCP but not by UDP? (Choose two.) | retransmitting any unacknowledged data acknowledging received data |
