File Transfer Overhead
File Transfer Overhead
More data is transferred than the file size due to overhead information such as headers and error checks.
MAC Address
MAC Address
A unique identifier for a network interface card (NIC), typically written in 6 groups of 2 hexadecimal characters.

Study Notes
Network Concepts: Revision Questions
-
(i) When transferring a 1KB file, more than 1KB of data is transferred due to headers, control information, and error-checking.
-
(ii) MAC addresses consist of hexadecimal letters (0-9 and A-F). MAC addresses are typically 48 bits (6 bytes) long.
-
(iii) Network switches use MAC addresses for forwarding decisions.
-
(iv) The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is used for transferring files over a network.
-
(v) Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is used for error detection in data transmission.
-
(vi) Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) adds security to Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
-
(vii) When data passes through a router, the source and destination IP addresses change.
-
(viii) An IPv6 address is 128 bits long.
-
(ix) Loopback addresses (127.0.0.1 and ::1) are used for testing network connections.
-
(x) The MAC broadcast address (FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF) is used for sending a message to all devices on a network.
-
(xi) Port numbers and sequence numbers belong to the Transport layer of the OSI model.
-
(xii) Port numbers and sequence numbers belong to the Transport layer of the TCP/IP model..
-
(xiii) IPv4 addresses belong to the Network layer of the OSI model.
-
(xiv) IPv6 addresses belong to the Internet layer of the TCP/IP model.
-
(xv) TCP uses windowing to control the amount of data sent. This is important to handle network congestion and avoid overwhelming the receiver.
-
(xvi) Sending data to some devices only, is called Multicasting.
-
(xvii) Class A, B and C, along with ranges, are different classes of IPv4 addresses used for multicasting.
-
(xviii) Switches operate on the Data Link Layer (Layer 2) while Routers operate on the Network Layer (Layer 3).
-
(xix) CRC, FCS, and MD5 are used for error detection and validation of data integrity.
-
(xx) Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) translates IP addresses to MAC addresses.
