  1. What is the key difference between TCP and UDP?

    Answer: TCP guarantees delivery; UDP does not guarantee delivery

    TCP guarantees reliable, ordered delivery through acknowledgments and retransmission, while UDP is unreliable and does not guarantee packet delivery or order.

  2. Which IP address class supports the most hosts per network?

    Answer: Class A

    Class A networks use only 8 bits for the network portion, leaving 24 bits for hosts, supporting over 16 million hosts per network.

  3. What does DNS resolve?

    Answer: Domain names to IP addresses

    DNS (Domain Name System) translates human-readable domain names (e.g., www.example.com) into their corresponding IP addresses.

  4. Which of the following is an example of a private IP address range?

    Answer: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255

    10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 is a private IP address range defined by RFC 1918 and is not routable on the public internet.

  5. What is the function of the sliding window protocol in TCP?

    Answer: To control the flow of data by allowing multiple frames to be sent before acknowledgment

    The sliding window protocol allows TCP to send multiple frames before receiving an acknowledgment, improving throughput and controlling data flow between sender and receiver.

  6. Which protocol is used at the Application Layer for transferring files between a client and a server?

    Answer: FTP

    FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is an Application Layer protocol used to transfer files between a client and a server, operating on ports 20 (data) and 21 (control).

  7. What is the broadcast address for the network 192.168.10.0/24?

    Answer: 192.168.10.255

    For a /24 network, the broadcast address is formed by setting all host bits to 1; for 192.168.10.0/24, that is 192.168.10.255.
