Question | Answer |
Give some examples of routable protocols. | TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, AppleTalk, and DECnet |

Name the 7 layers of the OSI model. | From High to Low: Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data link, and Physical. |
Network communication starts at what layer of the OSI model on the sending system? | Application Layer |
What is the application layer responsible for? | On the sending system the application layer sends a request. On the receiving system the application layer is responsible for passing the request to the appropriate application or service on that system. |
What is the presentation layer responsible for? | The application passes the request down to the presentation layer and the presentation layer formats the data so that the receiving system can interpret it. |
What are some of the formating functions of the presentation layer? | Compression, encryption, ensuring the character code set can be interpreted on the other side. |
What is the session layer responsible for? | It manages the dialogue between computer by establishing,managing, and terminating communications between 2 computers. |
How many phases are in the session layer? | 3 |
What is the first phase of the session layer? | It is the establishment phase. The requestor defines the service and rules; such as who transmits & when and how much data can be sent at a time. Both systems must agree on the rules. |
What happens in the second phase of the session layer? | The transfer process begins. |
What is the third phase of the session layer? | Termination in an orderly fashion. |
What is the transport layer responsible for? | It handles functions such as reliable and unreliable delivery of data through the use of the protocol requested. |
The transport layer breaks down data into smaller parts known as what? | Segments |
If a retransmission is required at the transport layer what segments will be resent? | Only the missing segments |
How are missing segments detected in the transport layer? | The receiving system will receive an acknowledgement (ACKs) from the remote system upon receiving the packets. |
The transport layer is also responsible for segment ___________. | Sequencing |
Explain segment sequencing. | It is connection-oriented service that takes segments that are received out of order and puts them in the right order. |
TCP works at what layer of the OSI model? | Transport Layer with reliable delivery. |
What does UDP stand for? | User Datagram Protocol |
UDP works at what layer of the OSI model? | Transport Layer with unreliable delivery. |
A service address is also known as what? | Port address or well-known addresses |
What layer enables the option of specifying a port address? | Transport Layer |
In TCP/IP service addresses are also called what? | Sockets or Ports |
What must take place in connection-oriented communication? | Handshaking because it defines rules for communication such as transmission speed, what ports to use, and proper terminating of session. |
What is the network layer reponsible for? | Managing logical addressing information in the packets and the delivery (routing) of those packets by using the routing table stored in the packets. |
What is a routing table? | A list of available destinations that are stored in memory on the routers. |
What is the purpose of a logical address? | Uniquely identifies a system on the network and the network that the system resides on. |
The logical address is used by what layer protocols? | network-layer protocols |
When the network layer uses TCP/IP what does it add to the packet? | Source address and the Destination address |
What layer of the OSI model handles logical addressing and routing? | Layer 3 (Network) |
An IP address is also known as what? | A layer-3 address |
What is the data link layer responsible for? | For converting the data from a packet to a pattern of electrical bit signals that will send the data across the communication medium. |
The data link layer is divided into 2 sublayers, what are they? | 1)Logical Link control (LLC) used for error correction and control functions. 2)Media Acccess Control (MAC) determines the physical addressing of the hosts and determines the access method. |
MAC address is known as what layer address? | Layer-2 address |
The sender in network layer appends the IP address information and the data link layer will append what address? | MAC address for the sending and receiving systems. |
Ethernet and Token Ring are defined by what layer of the OSI model? | Layer 2`Data link layer |
