Correct Answer: 3, 2, 1, none
Explanation:
Routers operate at layer 3. LAN switches operate at layer 2. Ethernet hubs operate at layer 1. Word processing applications communicate to the Application layer interface, but do not operate at layer 7, so the answer would be none.
Correct Answer: 2 and 3
Explanation:
Bridges break up collision domains, which allow more bandwidth for users.
Correct Answer: 1, 2, and 5
Explanation:
Full-duplex means you are using both wire pairs simultaneously to send and receive data. You must have a dedicated switch port for each node, which means you will not have collisions. Both the host network card and the switch port must be capable and set to work in full-duplex mode.
Correct Answer: 1, 3 and 4
Explanation:
The common types of flow control are buffering, windowing, and congestion avoidance.
Correct Answer: 1 and 4
Explanation:
Unlike full duplex, half-duplex Ethernet operates in a shared collision domain, and it has a lower effective throughput than full duplex.
Correct Answer: Decrease the window size.
Explanation:
A receiving host can control the transmitter by using flow control (TCP uses Windowing by default). By decreasing the window size, the receiving host can slow down the transmitting host so the receiving host does not overflow its buffers.
Correct Answer: 3 and 4
Explanation:
Not that you really want to enlarge a single collision domain, but a hub (multiport repeater) will provide this for you.
Correct Answer: Data, segment, packet, frame, bit
Explanation:
The encapsulation method is data, segment, packet, frame, bit.
Correct Answer: To provide a means for the receiver to govern the amount of data sent by the sender.
Explanation:
Flow control allows the receiving device to control the transmitter so the receiving device's buffer does not overflow.
Correct Answer: Fiber-optic cable
Explanation:
Fiber-optic cable provides a more secure, long-distance cable that is not susceptible to EMI interference at high speeds.
