Computer Network Tutorial – Week 2

1. At which layer of the OSI model would you expect the following issues to be
addressed:
a. Modulation scheme?
b. Delivery of data from one node in the network to a neighboring node?
c. Delivery of data from one host in the network to another?
d. Delivery of data from one application in an end host to another?
e. End-to-end reliability?
f. Physical connector type?
g. Cable specifications?
h. Antenna transmit power?
i. Receiver sensitivity?
j. Signalling for establishing a VoIP connection?
k. Formatting a response to a web query on the screen?

2. When the OSI model developed?

a. 1990s
b. 1940s
c. 1970s
d. 1950s
3. When data is encapsulated, which is the correct order?
a. Data, frame, packet, segment, bit
b. Segment, data, packet, frame, bit
c. Data, segment, packet, frame, bit
d. Data, segment, frame, packet, bit

4. Why does the data communication industry use the layered OSI reference
model? (Choose all that apply.)
a. It divides the network communication process into smaller and simpler
components, thus aiding component development, design, and
troubleshooting.
b. It enables equipment from different vendors to use the same electronic
components, thus saving research and development funds.
c. It supports the evolution of multiple competing standards and thus
provides business opportunities for equipment manufacturers.
d. It encourages industry standardization by defining what functions occur at
each layer of the model.
e. It provides a framework by which changes in functionality in one layer
require changes in other layers.
5. Acknowledgments, sequencing, and flow control are characteristics of which OSI
layer?
a. Layer 2
 b. Layer 3
c. Layer 4
d. Layer 7
6. What is the purpose of flow control?
a. To ensure that data is retransmitted if an acknowledgment is not received
b. To reassemble segments in the correct order at the destination device
c. To provide a means for the receiver to govern the amount of data sent by
the sender
d. To regulate the size of each segment

7. Which of the following are layers in the TCP/IP model? (Choose all that apply.)
a. Session
b. Transport
c. Internet
d. Data Link

8. The DoD model (also called the TCP/IP stack) has four layers. Which layer of the
DoD model is equivalent to the Network layer of the OSI model?
a. Application
b. Host-to-Host
c. Internet
d. Network Access
9. Which layer in OSI model defines how data is formatted, presented, encoded,
and converted for use on the network?
a. Application
b. Presentation
c. Session
d. Transport

10. Which layer is represented by segments?

a. Physical
b. Data link
c. Network
d. Transport
