QuestionAnswer

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
What is a well-known graphic-image format? GIF
Which of the following is a feature of the Gnutella protocol? Users can share whole files with other users. *(marked as incorrect) Users can share pieces of files with other users.
Which TCP/IP model layer is closest to the end user? application
Which statement is true about FTP? The client can download data from or upload data to the server.
What is a well-known graphic-image format? JPG
