What is the PDU for layer 3?
100
This protocol resolves IP addresses into mac addresses.
What is ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)?
100
The loss of a signal due to the distance it has to travel.
What is attenuation?
100
The topology where the network nodes are arranged in a loop and data flows in only one direction (e.g. clockwise).
What is a ring network?
100
A combination of an IP address and a port address with a colon to separate the two.
What is a socket?
200
Frame
What is the PDU for layer 2?
200
This protocol resolves hostnames into IP addresses.
What is DNS (Domain Name System)?
200
Interference caused by the signal from one wire in bundle bleeding into the signal from another wire the same bundle.
What is crosstalk?
200
The physical topology where all of the network nodes are connected to a single wire which has a terminator at each end.
What is a bus?
200
A Class A address uses these octets for the network portion of the IP address.
What is the first octet?
300
Segment.
What is the PDU for layer 4?
300
This protocol assigns an IP address to a windows host that is not configured with a manual or automatic IP address.
What is APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing)?
300
This is where two nodes share a network channel and each of them can simultaneously send and receive transmissions.
What is full-duplex?
300
The physical topology where all of the network hosts are connected to a single network device like a switch, but logically all of the devices communicate like they are directly attached to a single wire.
What is a star-wired bus?
300
A telephone network uses this type of switching.
What is circuit switching?
400
Mac address.
What is the address scheme used at layer 2?
400
This protocol allows us to create a virtual "switched network" over a traditionally packet switched network.
What is MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching)?
400
A device that modulates and demodulates digital signals onto an analog line.
What is a modem?
400
This type of network connects Chicago and New York.
What is a WAN (Wide Area Network)?
400
An IPv6 address contains how many bits?
What is 128?
500
Port number.
What is the address scheme used at layer 4?
500
The command-line tool "ping" is a great example of this protocol.
What is ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)?
500
The process by which multiple analog or data streams are combined into one signal over a shared medium. WDM is an example.
What is multiplexing?
500
This type of network is what would connect two different office buildings in a downtown urban environment.
What is a MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)?
500
These are the steps in the TCP three-way handshake.
What is SYN, SYN-ACK, and ACK?
