None of the given
12. A bridge uses --------------- to determine which computer is connected to which segment,
and uses the --------------- to determine whether to forward a copy of frame. 1
Source address, destination adress.
Destination adress, destination address.
Destination adress, source address.
source adress, source address.
13. A Bridge can ---------------. 1
Filter a frame.
Forward a frame.
Extend LAN.
All of the given.
14. Most WAN systems include a mechanism that can be used to eliminate the common case
of duplication routing is called___________ 1
Hierarchal address
Default route
Shortest route
None of the given
15. __________is used for compressed audio and video where the data rate depends on the
level of compression that can be achieved. 1
Constant Bit Rate (CBR) service
Variable Bit Rate (VBR) service
Available Bit Rate (ABR) service
None of the given
16. ATM assigns each VC a _____________ identifier that is divided two parts to produce a
hierarchy. 1
21-bit
22-bit
23-bit
24-bit
17. --------------- has a jitter zero 1
Virtual Private Network
Isochronous Network
Asynchronous Network
None of the given
18. The network with Throughput T and Delay D has a total --------------- bits in transit at a
time. 1
D + T
D – T
D X T
D / T
19. One repeater ---------------, two repeaters --------------- the maximum cable length
limitation. 1
Double, triple
Double, 4 time
half, triple
Double, half
20. The length of time required to send a veriable length packet a veriable and does not
require a complicated interrupt scheme to detect complication transmission. 1
True
False
21. What is the disadvantages of repeater? 2
ANS
Repeaters do not recognize frame formats, they just amplify and retransmit the electrical
signal. If a collision or error occurs in one segment, repeaters amplify and retransmit also the
error onto the other segments.
22. Why the Conection Oriented Services use the conections identifier instead of full
address? 2
23. What is the logical and physical topology of 10 Base T and token ring network? 3
ANS
LOGICAL TOPOLOGY:
It is defined by the specific network technology.
PHYSICL TOPOLOGY:
It depends on the wiring scheme.
24. How can switched virtual networks be established? 3
25. Write advantages and disadvantages of public and private Networks. 5
ANS
26. A network consist of three pocket switches, what will the next hop forwarding
information found in switch 2? 5
ANS
