What are those 3 factors, on which effectiveness of a communication system depends? What are the components of a Communication System? Show through a neat diagram. Define Protocol. Why are protocols needed? Give some example. What are the three different modes of communication? State with example. Differentiate between Half duplex and full duplex mode of communication. Define the Network. Differentiate Networks with Distributed Systems. State the Goals and applications of networks for companies. State the Goals and applications of networks for individuals. Define the term-reliability, scalability and security with respect to networks. State the characteristics of a local area network. How does a WAN differentiate with a LAN? Define Internetworking. Why is it required? What is Internet? How does it work? How are protocols different from standards? State the two types of standards. State some agencies, which are responsible for creation of standards. Expand: ARPA, ANSI, ASCII, IEEE, ISO, ISP, LAN, WAN, MAN, OSI. Why do we need a layered framework to organize a network? Name the two layered models for data communication and networks. Define an Interface. Why is it required? List different design issues for layers, if a layered model has to be designed for network. Differentiate between Reliable and Unreliable connection oriented services using suitable example. Differentiate between Reliable and Unreliable connection less services using suitable example. Differentiate between services and protocols. Name the seven layers of OSI model in correct order. What is the purpose of OSI model? Identify the layers, which belong to Network support and User support subgroups respectively. List the responsibilities of physical layer. How many types of line configuration are there? What are the responsibilities of Data Link layer? What is a physical address? Which are the sub-layers of Data link layer? What are the responsibilities of Network layer? What is a logical address? How is it different from physical address? What are the responsibilities of Transport layer? What is a port address? Why is it required? Differentiate between Network layer & Transport layer Delivery. What are the responsibilities of Session layer? What are the responsibilities of Presentation layer? What are the responsibilities of Application layer? Define the term Encryption/ Decryption. Why do we need data compression? List different services provided by Application layer. Name the layers of TCP/IP reference model in correct order. Name different protocols, supported at different layers of TCP/IP reference model. Expand: ARP, ICMP, IGMP, RARP, TCP, UDP, IP, SMTP, FTP, HTTP, DNS, SNMP Differentiate between Port address, logical address & physical address. Compare OSI model with TCP/IP reference model.
