UNIT I FUNDAMENTALS & LINK LAYER : Building a network – Requirements - Layering and protocols - Internet Architecture – Network software – Performance ; Link layer Services - Framing - Error Detection - Flow control PART A 1. What are the two types of line configuration? NOV/DEC 2010 Line configuration refers to the way two or more communication devices attached to a link. Line configuration is also referred to as connection. There are two possible types of line configurations or connections. Point-to-point connection Multipoint connection 2. Group the OSI layers by function?(NOV/DEC 2013) The seven layers of the OSI model belonging to three subgroups. Physical, data link and network layers are the network support layers; they deal with the physical aspects of moving data from one device to another. Session, presentation and application layers are the user support layers; they allow interoperability among unrelated software systems. The transport layer ensures end-to-end reliable data transmission. 3. What are the three criteria necessary for an effective and efficient network? The most important criteria are performance, reliability and security. Performance of the network depends on number of users, type of transmission medium, and the capabilities of the connected h/w and the efficiency of the s/w. Reliability is measured by frequency of failure, the time it takes a link to recover from the failure and the network‟s robustness in a catastrophe. Security issues include protecting data from unauthorized access and viruses. 4. What are the two interfaces provided by protocols? Service interface Peer interface Service interface- defines the operations that local objects can perform on the protocol. Peer interface- defines the form and meaning of messages exchanged between protocol peers to implement the communication service. 5. What is OSI? A standard that specifies a conceptual model called Open systems Interconnection network interface model, which breaks networked communications into seven layers: Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data link, Physical. 6. Why protocols needed? In networks, communication occurs between the entities in different systems. Two entities cannot just send bit streams to each other and expect to be understood. For communication, the entities must agree on a protocol. A protocol is a set of rules that govern data communication. 7. What are header and trailers and how do they get added and removed? Each layer in the sending machine adds its own information to the message it receives from the layer just above it and passes the whole package to the layer just below it. This information is added in the form of headers or trailers. Headers are added to the message at the layers 6,5,4,3, and 2. A trailer is added at layer2. At the receiving machine, the headers or trailers attached to the data unit at the corresponding sending layers are removed, and actions appropriate to that layer are taken. 8. Mention the different physical media? Twisted pair. Coaxial cable. Optical fiber. 9. What are the issues in data link layer? NOV/DEC 2012 Specific responsibilities of data link layer include the following. a) Framing b) Physical addressing c) Flow control d) Error control e) Access control. 10. Write short notes on error correction? NOV/DEC 2011 It is the mechanism to correct the errors and it can be handled in 2 ways. When an error is discovered, the receiver can have the sender retransmit the entire data unit. A receiver can use an error correcting coder, which automatically corrects certain errors. 11. Define Signals? Signals are actually electromagnetic waves traveling at the speed of light. The speed of light is, however, medium dependent-electromagnetic waves traveling through copper and fiber do so at about two-thirds the speed of light in vacuum. 12. Define flow control? NOV/DEC 2011,APR/MAY 2015 Flow control refers to a set of procedures used to restrict the amount of data. The sender can send before waiting for acknowledgment. 13. What do you
