Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between human protocols and network protocols?

  • Human protocols are designed for machines, while network protocols are designed for humans.
  • Human protocols are governed by protocols, while network protocols are not governed by any rules.
  • Human protocols involve specific messages sent by machines, while network protocols involve specific actions taken when messages are received. (correct)
  • Human protocols define the format and order of messages sent and received among network entities, while network protocols involve communication activities among humans.

    • In the context of network structure, what do access networks primarily connect?

  • Access networks connect physical media to routers.
  • Access networks connect regional ISPs to global ISPs.
  • Access networks connect end systems to edge routers. (correct)
  • Access networks connect servers to clients.

    • What do protocol layers and service models define in a network environment?

  • Protocol layers define the security measures in a network, while service models define the throughput of data packets.
  • Protocol layers define the format and order of messages sent and received among network entities, while service models define the types of services offered in a network. (correct)
  • Protocol layers define the delay and loss in a network, while service models define the actions taken on message transmission.
  • Protocol layers define the physical media used for communication, while service models define the structure of end systems.
