Answers and Explanations

  1. b. The Application Layer (layer 7) is where the encapsulation process begins. This layer receives the raw data from the application in use and provides services such as file transfer and message exchange to the application (and thus the user).
  2. a, b. The Link layer of the TCP/IP model provides the services provided by both the Data Link and the Physical layers in the OSI model.
  3. b. System Ports, also called well-known ports, are assigned by the IETF for standards-track protocols, as per [RFC6335].
  4. c. The listed ports numbers are as follows:

    • 23–Telnet
    • 443–HTTPS
    • 80–HTTP
    • 110–POP3
  5. a. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) resolves IP addresses to MAC addresses.
  6. c. IPv4 addresses are 32 bits in length and can be represented in either binary or in dotted decimal format.
  7. b. The calls C range of addresses is from 192.0.0.0 -223.255.255.255.
  8. a.

    Here are the private IP address ranges:

    Class

    Range

    Class A

    10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255

    Class B

    172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255

    Class C

    192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255

  9. c. Network Address Translation (NAT) is a service that can be supplied by a router or by a server. The device that provides the service stands between the local LAN and the Internet. When packets need to go to the Internet, the packets go through the NAT service first. The NAT service changes the private IP address to a public address that is routable on the Internet. When the response is returned from the Web, the NAT service receives it and translates the address back to the original private IP address and sends it back to the originator.
  10. a. With asynchronous transmission, the systems use what are called start and stop bits to communicate when each byte is starting and stopping. This method also uses what are called parity bits to be used for the purpose of ensuring that each byte has not changed or been corrupted en route. This introduces additional overhead to the transmission.
