Level 1 - Physical Level 2 - Data Link Level 3 - Network Level 4 - Transport Level 5 - Session Level 6 - Presentation Level 7 - Application OSI 1 and 2 match with TCP/IP 1 - Link OSI 3 matches up with TCP/IP 2 - Internet OSI 4 matches up with TCP/IP 3 - Transport OSI 5-7 match up with TCP/IP 4 - Application

400
Which of the following are fiber connectors? F BNC MTRJ RJ-11 STC LLC
Just MTRJ. F = coaxial BNC = coaxial MTRJ = fiber RJ-11 = copper STC = non-existent, ST and SC are fiber however LLC = coupled with MAC (media access control), logical link control is a sublayer of Level 2 in the OSI model (Data Link), LC is a fiber connector

Level 1 48 64
400
What is the main difference between TCP/IP and UDP?
