Correct Answer: The address resolution protocol (ARP) is used to associate the 32 bit IP address with the 48 bit physical address, used by a host or a router to find the physical address of another host on its network by sending a ARP query packet that includes the IP address of the receiver The reverse address resolution protocol (RARP) allows a host to discover its Internet address when it knows only its physical address

Correct Answer: Bit rate is the number of bits transmitted during one second whereas baud rate refers to the number of signal units per second that are required to represent those bits baud rate = bit rate / N where N is no-of-bits represented by each signal shift

Correct Answer: The degeneration of a signal over distance on a network cable is called attenuation
