Questions and Answers

What is the primary role of an operating system in relation to hardware?

  • It provides a task-specific interface for applications.
  • It performs specific tasks for users independent of hardware.
  • It solely facilitates network connectivity.
  • It directly interacts with the hardware and manages resources. (correct)

Which of the following statements about networking protocols is true?

  • Protocols dictate how data is transmitted, ensuring effective communication. (correct)
  • Protocols are used exclusively for secure data transmission.
  • Protocols are only necessary for local area networks.
  • All devices require identical hardware to use protocols.

What distinguishes IPv6 from IPv4?

  • IPv6 uses a 64-bit address format.
  • IPv6 is an outdated protocol not commonly used today.
  • IPv6 can accommodate a greater number of devices with its 128-bit address format. (correct)

Operating System (OS)

Software that manages computer hardware and software resources, providing a user interface and system services for applications.

Application Software

Software that performs specific tasks for users, relying on the operating system for hardware access.

Network

A collection of interconnected devices that communicate to share resources, information, and services.

Networking Protocols

Standardized rules that dictate how data is transmitted over networks, ensuring effective communication.

Study Notes

Operating Systems

  • Manage hardware and software resources
  • Provide a user interface (GUI or CLI) for interaction
  • Offer system services (file management, process scheduling, security)
  • Examples: Windows, macOS, Linux

Application Software

  • Perform specific tasks for users
  • Rely on the OS for hardware access
  • Offer task-specific interfaces

Networks

  • A collection of interconnected devices sharing resources, information, and services
  • Ranging in size from home Wi-Fi to global networks (internet)

Networking Protocols

  • Standardized rules for data transmission over networks
  • Examples: TCP/IP (internet), HTTP (web pages)

TCP/IP Stack

  • Fundamental suite of protocols for reliable data transmission (internet).

  • Used by applications to locate and communicate with each other.

IP Addresses

  • Unique identifiers for devices on a network
  • IPv4 (32-bit, e.g., 192.168.1.1) and IPv6 (128-bit).
  • Assigned by routers (ISP - internet service provider) via DHCP

Network Process

  • Router assigns private IP addresses to computers (DHCP)
  • IP address included with data sent to internet
  • Data sent to router before being sent to internet
  • Default gateway: IP address computers send messages to
  • NAT (Network Address Translation): Router translates private to public IP addresses (vice versa).
  • Routers enhance security

Cloud Computing

  • IAAS: Renting computer resources in the cloud
  • Virtualization: Using a virtual computer within a network
  • SSH protocol: Monitors HTTP requests/responses.
