Questions and Answers

  • Encapsulation is the process of adding a new string of information to an existing unit to form a new unit of information, while ______ is the reverse process of removing the header and tail of a packet to obtain the data payload.

decapsulation

  • A packet is a data unit exchanged and transmitted on a network in the format of header+data payload+tail, and the ______ can be considered as the information to be transmitted.

data payload

  • Protocol Data Unit (PDU) is a specific block of information transferred over a network, and each layer of the OSI model has a different type of ______.

PDU

  • Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol that defines a packet and an addressing scheme, transfers data between the Internet layer and network access layers, and routes packets to remote hosts. ICMP handles errors and controls the process of sending data between computers, including an echo request/reply that is used to test whether a destination is reachable and responding. Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) handles multicasting and is used by hosts to keep local routers apprised of their membership in multicast groups. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) obtains the physical address of a node from a specific IP number, while ______ allows a host to find its Internet address given its physical address.

  • Fiber distributed data interface (FDDI) is a set of ANSI protocols for sending digital data over fiber optic cable, while Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a wide area protocol that features high data rates and equal-sized packets/cells suitable for text, audio, and video data transfer. Frame Relay is a WAN protocol for LAN internetworking that provides a fast and efficient method of transmitting information from one user device to another across multiple switches and routers. ______ is used when a network terminal needs to pass data from one segment to another without changing its current IP address information.

  • Routing is the process of selecting paths on a network along which packets are sent from a source to a destination, and a router is a network device that forwards packets to a destination subnet based on routes. Packet routing is the overall network-wide process of finding the most efficient path for forwarding the IP packet from source to destination using routing tables, protocols, and ______.
