Q1: EXPLAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BROADCAST LINK AND POINT
TO POINT LINK? Ans: Broadcast link It is a method of sending signal/data among clients. In another words, it refers to transmitting a packet that will be received every device on the network. In which host send data to another host identifying a unique IP address. Broadcasting may be high level network operation, i.e. by passing message interface and broadcasting on Wi-Fi. IT may be perform low level network operation, i.e. broadcasting on Ethernet. Point to point link is a connection between two nodes or ending points and no more data is formatting. The host takes complete responsibility for formatting data transmitted between them. Typically it is a protocol for communicating between two computers using several interfaces, like personal computer that is connected by a phone line to a server. Q2: WHAT IS THE PACKET IN COMPUTER COMMUNICATION? Ans: To improve communication performance and reliability, each data that is sent between two network devices is subdivided into packets by underlying HW and SW. communication computer do not support packet such as point to point link .it simply transmit data as a bit stream. But by using packet, the bandwidth of communication can be better share among user than circuit switched. Q3: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ETHERNET AND WI-FI? Ans: Wi-Fi is a wireless network. It is a valid choice when running a cable would be difficult.it provides better speed as compare to Ethernet that offer over a wired connection. Ethernet provides superior network performance and reliable transport access by connected a wire. It provides more secured signals with no radio interface and without hacking wireless router. But minor problem have bad impact on it. It is less efficient than Wi-Fi .because it is a wired network. Q4: WHAT ARE EXAMPLES OF PAN, LAN, WAN AND MAN? Ans: PAN it is a personal network area that are used for communication between different devices that are located so closed.like, telephones fax machines Bluetooth. LAN it cover small area like home office building or school.WAN it cover broad area.like, communication link internet etc.it cross the metropolitan boundaries. MAN It covers the entire city area. Q5: WHAT IS PROTOCOL IN NETWORKS? Ans: Protocol in network defines rules and conventions for communication between network devices. There are different types of network protocol. Ethernet ATM token ring etc.protocol for computer all generally uses packet switching techniques to send and receive message in the form of packets. It uses well defined protocol for exchanging data/message. Q6: WHAT IS PROS AND CONS OF LAYERING IN PROTOCOL DESIGN?
modular engineering that allow HW and SW to communicate with each other. 4) Allowing quicker development 5) simplify teaching and learning because it breaks network communication into smaller components to make it easier. 6) Modularity and manageability. CONS 1) high level layer cant see what lower layer is. 2) High level layer cant control all aspects of the lower level layer. 3) It is used to control the complexity of large applications, but adds complexity to simple applications. 4) It has negative effect on the performance.
