Questions and Answers

Which of the following layers in an Open System Interconnection (OSI) model adds a header in front of the payload

  • Layer 2
  • Layer 1
  • Layer 4 (correct)
  • Layer 3

Computer A started a communication sequence with Computer B that has a sequencing number of 300070. Computer B accepted the request and sent an acknowledgment number of 300071. Until this point, no payload has been exchanged. So far, the sequence numbers have increased by exactly 1 in each acknowledgment. Now, Computer A sends a payload data that is 800 bits long. According to you, what will be the acknowledgment number for the return message in this case.

  • 300800
  • 300072
  • 300870
  • 300871 (correct)

You have been recently appointed by Jaylabs Internet Solutions to verify the TCP/IP protocols that have been set up at Heroku Industries for interorganizational purposes. On examining the TCP header segment, you want to get a sense of the limit of the maximum bytes of data that a computer can receive before returning an acknowledgment. Which of the following fields in a TCP segment should you check in such a situation?

  • Header length
  • Destination port
  • Options
  • Window size (correct)

While analyzing an intermittent error, James, an independent contractor for HKV Infrastructures, finds that the destination host is constantly asking the source to retransmit the data. He finds that the bug might be related to the transport layer of the OSI model. Since the TCP provides reliable delivery protocols, analyze which of the following characteristics of the TCP protocol James should check to fix this error.

Hilary has been working on a pilot project for a start-up on which she has been testing the maximum bytes for the length of an IP packet. As her intended IP packets are larger than what the network allows, she has to break them up into smaller packets for transmission. Analyze and suggest which of the following fields Hilary should use in an IPv4 packet so that the receiving host is able to identify and reassemble the fragmented messages.

You have just managed to send a fragmented IP packet across a network as the IP packets are larger than what the network allows.

What layer adds a header to the payload?

The 4th layer in the OSI model that adds a header to the payload during transmission, responsible for data segmentation and reliable communication. It provides services like flow control and error checking.

What is the next acknowledgment number?

The sequence number acknowledges the successful receipt of the previous data sent by the other computer. It ensures reliable data transport and helps in managing the order of data packets.

What determines the maximum data bytes a receiving computer can accept before acknowledgment?

The Window size is typically measured in bytes, and it helps a receiving computer to inform the sender about the maximum amount of data it can accept without having to send an acknowledgement.

What TCP protocol characteristic helps troubleshoot retransmission requests?

Checksum is a technique used to verify data integrity. It helps detect errors that might occur during transmission over a network. It provides a mechanism to ensure that the data received is the same as the data sent.

Which IPv4 packet field helps reassemble fragmented packets?

The Identification field is a 16-bit field that is used to identify the original packet when a fragmented packet is received. It helps reassemble the fragments back into the original packet at the destination.

What allows remote access to a computer?

Terminal emulation allows a remote user to access and interact with a computer as if they were directly connected to it. It provides a graphical interface and commands for controlling the remote computer.

What defines rules for secure TCP/IP communication?

IPsec is a set of protocols that secure TCP/IP communication. It's used to encrypt and authenticate data, providing confidentiality, integrity, and authentication for network communication.

What in a TCP segment confirms receipt of data?

Acknowledgment number is used to acknowledge that the data has been received. It is essentially a message sent back to the sender stating that the receiver has successfully received the data.

Which protocol to choose for efficient data transfer for a large event?

UDP is a connectionless protocol that provides fast and efficient data transmission. It's often used for streaming content or multiplayer games as it doesn't require a reliable connection setup.

Which IPv4 flag signals more fragments are being sent?

The third bit in the flags section of an IPv4 field, known as the 'More Fragments' bit, indicates whether there are more fragments of the same packet following this one. This helps the receiving host in reassembling the original packet.

Study Notes

OSI Model and TCP/IP

  • The transport layer in the OSI model adds a header in front of the payload.
  • The sequence numbers in the TCP protocol increase by exactly 1 in each acknowledgment.

TCP/IP and Sequence Numbers

  • When Computer A sends a payload data of 800 bits, the acknowledgment number for the return message will be the sequence number plus the payload size (300071 + 800).

TCP Header and Maximum Bytes

  • The field to check in the TCP segment to determine the maximum bytes of data a computer can receive before returning an acknowledgment is the Window field.

TCP Characteristics and Error Fixing

  • To fix the intermittent error of retransmitting data, James should check the TCP protocol's characteristic of retransmission.

IP Packet Fragmentation

  • Hilary should use the Identification field in an IPv4 packet to identify and reassemble fragmented messages.

Remote Access Methods

  • The remote access method that allows a remote client to take over and command a host computer is Remote Desktop.

Encryption and Key Management

  • The set of rules for encryption, authentication, and key management for TCP/IP transmissions is provided by IPSec.

TCP Segment Acknowledgment

  • The field in the TCP segment that confirms receipt of data via return message to the sender is the Acknowledgment field.

Network Connection Protocol

  • The protocol to choose for setting up a network connection for a seven-day long gaming championship is DHCP.

IPv4 Fragmentation Flags

  • The bit in the flags section of an IPv4 field to apply to send a clear message to the receiving host that there are more fragments on the way is the More Fragments (MF) flag.
