    Explanation: Not Avilable

    6. Transmission data rate is decided by

  • (A). Network layer
  • (B). Physical layer
  • (C). Data link layer
  • (D). Transport layer
  • View Answer

    Explanation: Basically the transmission speed is determined by the cables and connectors used. Hence it is physical layer that determines the transmission speed in network.

    7. In DSL telco provides these service-

  • (A). Wired phone access
  • (B). ISP
  • (C). All of the mentioned
  • (D). None of the mentioned
  • View Answer

    Explanation: DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line and ISP stands for Internet Service Provider. In a Digital Subscriber Line system, the same company which provides phone connection is also an ISP.

    8. Which transmission media has the highest transmission speed in a network?

  • (A). Coaxial cable
  • (B). Twisted pair cable
  • (C). Optical fiber
  • (D). Electrical cable
  • View Answer

    Explanation: Fiber optics is considered to have the highest transmission speed among the all mentioned above. The fiber optics transmission runs at 1000Mb/s.

    9. Which one of the following is not a function of the network layer?

  • (A). Routing
  • (B). Inter-networking
  • (C). Congestion control
  • (D). None of the mentioned
  • View Answer

    Explanation: In the OSI model, network layer is the third layer and it provides data routing paths for network communications.

    10. Header of a frame generally contains

  • (A). Synchronization bytes
  • (B). Address
  • (C). Frame identifier
  • (D). All of the mentioned
  • View Answer

    Explanation: In a frame, the header is a part of the data that contains all the required information about the transmission of the file.

    11. User data-gram protocol is called connection-less because

  • (A). All UDP packets are treated independently by transport layer
  • (B). It sends data as a stream of related packets
  • (C). It is received in the same order as set order
  • (D). None of the mentioned
  • View Answer

    Explanation: UDP is an alternative for TCP and it is used for those purposes where speed matters most whereas loss of data is not a problem.

    12. Common gateway interface is used to

  • (A). Generate executable files from web content by web server
  • (B). Generate web server
  • (C). Stream videos
  • (D). None of the mentioned
  • View Answer

  • (A). Topology
  • (B). Routing
  • (C). Networking
  • (D). None
  • View Answer

    Explanation: Topology defines the structure of the network of how all the components are interconnected to each other.

    14. Data communication system spanning states of countries or the whole world is

  • (A). LAN
  • (B). WAN
  • (C). MAN
  • (D). None
