Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

41. SONET






42. The placement of data from a higher-layer protocol behind the header (and in some cases - between a header and trailer) of the next-lower-layer protocol. For example - an IP packet could be encapsulated in an Ethernet header and trailer before being






43. A far-reaching system of networks that usually extends over approximately 48 kilometers (about 30 miles) and often reaches across states and continents.






44. What type of browser is designed for use on small handheld devices such as palmtop computers and iPhones?

48. A value or means of identifying a service on a network node - such as socket or port 103 for standerdized e-mail services in the TCP protocol.






49. Serves as a translator; manages data encryption






50. Activities finalize restoration of operations to a normal state and seek to identify source and method of intrusion to ensure same type of attack cannot occur again
