  1. Define super-netting?
    • Super-netting, also called Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR), is a way to aggregate multiple Internet addresses of the same class. The original Internet Protocol (IP) defines IP addresses in four major classes of address structure, Classes A through D. Each class allocates one portion of the 32-bit Internet address format to a network address and the remaining portion to the specific host machines within the network.

It uses a special three-byte frame called a “token” that travels around a logical “ring” of workstations or servers. This token passing is a channel access method providing fair access for all stations, and eliminating the collisions of contention-based access methods.

 

  1. Why is ARP and RARP protocol used?
    • Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol that helps IP to find the link-layer address of a host or a router when its network-layer address is given. Reverse ARP (RARP) works opposite of ARP.

 

  1. Define fixed path routing.
    • A route is selected for each source-destination pair of nodes in the network. The routers are fixed and changes only if topology of the network change. It is something referred to as static routing since the routes are fixed as in static routing.

    • Some of the key differences are:
      • The OSPF stands for Open Shortest Path First whereas BGP expands to Border Gateway Protocol.
      • OSPF is an Interior gateway routing protocol in which the routing operation is performed inside an autonomous system. On the other hand, the BGP is an Exterior gateway routing protocol which enables the routing operations to be performed between the two autonomous systems.
      • OSPF is simple to employ while BGP is complex to implement.
      • The time elapsed by a router takes to share and update the latest routing information is known as convergence. So, OSPF can achieve convergence by consuming less time. In contrast, the BGP has a slow convergence rate as compare to OSPF.
      • The OSPF follows a hierarchical structure whereas BGP usually adopts mesh structure.
      • OSPF requires intensive use of memory and CPU resources. As against, in BGP the need of device resources relies on the size of the routing table.
      • BGP is more flexible and scalable than OSPF and used on a larger network, unlike OSPF.
      • The primary objective of the OSPF is to determine the best route, i.e., fastest. Conversely BGP emphasizes on determining the best path.
      • OSPF uses link state routing while BGP uses path vector routing.

 

  1. What is the necessity of Port address even if there is IP address for the device?
    • To put it simply, IP address are to identify the hosts and port numbers are to identify/differentiate type of services on the hosts. If we’ve reached the destination host, the next thing we need to tell your destination is the type of service we are looking for, such as email, web etc., which are identified/differentiated by port numbers or port address.
  2. What is the difference between DSL and ADSL?
    • DSL(Digital Subscriber Line) is the generic term for services that provide internet connections using digital data connections between a modem and a phone line. What’s great about DSL, is that even when the phone line is in use, there is no interruption, and you can still experience a high speed internet connection even when you are making calls.
    • ADSLstands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. This type of service means that the speed of data sent is known as upstream, and the data received is known as downstream, and the speeds are not always guaranteed to be the same. They have different speeds that change from time to time. The most requested service is the ADSL service. In regards to ADSL, the internet service providers offer options for higher bandwidth, in upstream, downstream or both. The only thing is, they naturally charge higher rates for higher speeds.

 

  1. What is the advantage of SMTP over IMAP?

the function of
ICMP :
ICMP is used for reporting errors.
 
IGMP:
IGMP reports to routers about the membership status to host.
viii the unreliable protocol is UDP. It is named so because UDP does not establish a connection between host and destination before data transmission
ix .subnet mask is done because A subnet mask defines the IP addresses that can exist within a specific subnet, such as a local area network. It has a similar appearance to an IP address, but it “masks” the network part of the IP address.

  • the cost is comparatively lower than that of digital signal.
  • Suitable for short distance transmission due to lower cost.
  • Analog components are durable.
  • Processing can be done in real time system

2.Define VSAT.
VSAT is a satellite technology that uses transceiver in each end user to communicate that interfaces between the user’s computer and an outside antenna with a transceiver. The transceiver receives or sends a signal to a satellite transponder in the sky. In VSAT technology satellite acts as a HUB i.e. similar to that of star topology and helps in communication among various parts of the world.
3. What do you mean by Piggybacking?
In sliding window flow control technique, the system works in full duplex mode. So in order to communicate in both the direction there is needed to maintain two window to send data and acknowledgement to other side. To provide efficient support piggybacking technique is used.
Piggy backing is a technique that is temporary outgoing delay of acknowledgement so that it can be hooked up with next outgoing frame. Each frame consists of serial no and  acknowledgement number. Piggy backing is used for proper communication channel utilization.
4.Why telnet protocol is needed?
Telnet is a terminal program run on a client computer and connect to server on network. Client can enter the command through telnet program to enter the server. This enable client to control the server by enabling valid username and password. Telnet is the common way to remotely control webserver.
5.Define socket and socket address.
Sockets is used to establish connection between two endpoints. It helps to establish connection logically or physically. Basically we use Application Programming Interface to establish connection between two processes.
Socket address is the combination of port number and ip address. Port number define the services and Ip address define a specific host. By using these information socket establishes the connection between two endpoints.
6.List the internet control protocols.
The internet control protocols are: 1.ICMP   2.IGMP

  • High noise immunity.
  • New Technology.

10.Difference between Synchronous and asynchronous transmission.

Asynchronous Synchronous
1.       Data is transmitted Character by Character and each character is of 8 bit length.
 
2.       It requires overhead of two bit for transmission of data.
 
3.       If a frame is lost then it cannot be recovered.
 
4.       Suitable for low speed transmission.		 1.It doesn’t require overhead of two bit for transmission of data.
 
2.For data transmission transmitter sends synchronous pulse and when receiver locks it a block of data gets transmitted.
 
3.Lost of frame is found to be low and can be recovered.
 
5.       Suitable for short distance transmission.

(i) What is baud rate in data communication? Explain.
Baud rate in data communication refers to the amount of data transmitted over a channel in a fixed amount of time.
(ii)What is the task of presentation layer in networking?
The task of presentation layer in networking is to convert the data into an appropriate format at the sender's side and change the received data into actual format at the receiver's side.
(iii) Explain selective repeat protocol.
While sending the messages from one host to other, some frames may not reach or may contain error, in such cases the receiver asks the sender to send only specific frames again, this process is known as selective repeat.ount of time.
(iv) Differentiate between CSMA/CD and CSMA/CA protocol.
CSMA/CD refers to carrier sense multiple access/ Collision detection protocol that can sense the channel before transmitting the message and can also detect if any two data collides whereas CSMA/CA refers to carrier sense multiple access/ Collision Avoidance
protocol that can sense the channel as well as other senders, which helps in avoidance of data collision.
(V) Explain the virtual circuit approach for packet switching.
The virtual circuit approach for packet switching includes three steps:
– Virtual connection setup
-Data transmission
– Virtual Circuit termination
Here, first a virtual connection is setup and then actual data is transmitted and then the circuit is terminated.
(vi) List out the difference between IPv4 and IPv6.
The main difference between IPV4 and IPV6 is that IPV6 has comparatively larger no. Of UP addresses than IPV4.
(vii) State the principle of Distance-Vector Routine protocol.
The distance-vector routing principle states that the path having minimum no. Of hop counts will be used for the data transmission over a network.
(viii) Clarify on sequence Number and Acknowledgement Number used in TCP header
The sequence no. Determines the sequence no. of the frame whereas the acknowledgement no. determines the no. Of frames and its acknowledgement which has been received by the receiver.
(ix) Differentiate between HTTP and FTP protocol.
FTP is used to send, upload and download files over a network whereas HTTP is used to request for different web pages, sites, etc over a network.
(x) What is the use of NFC? Explain.
The use of NFC is to create a small private networks over which different regular works like payments, fund transfer, etc can be done.
