1. MSN messenger uses TCP or UDP?
TCP
Next hop - metric and destination network. Routers do not need source address - last hop - or default gateway to find a path to the network.
Connectionless - Best effort (unreliable) - media independent
Telnet
2. When an IP packet is decapsulated - the information in the packet is handed to the upper or lower layers for delivery and processing?
Destination device is there - Figures out if it has an active service running and is accepting requests on the right port - Tells the destination device that it wants to communicate on said port
RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
Reliable - connection-oriented protocol (resends if not received)
Upper
3. What information does a router need to successfully forward packets?
Routers (the subnetting process)
UDP
Not - these are done by other protocols in other layers
The router matches the destination address in the packet header with the destination network of a route in the routing table and forwards the packet to the next-hop router specified by that route
4. Encapsulation occurs at all - some or none of the layers of the OSI model?
Reliable - connection-oriented protocol (resends if not received)
The router matches the destination address in the packet header with the destination network of a route in the routing table and forwards the packet to the next-hop router specified by that route
Reduced network bandwidth - increased overhead - and reduced host functions. The other answers are part of solutions to excessive broadcasts
All
5. TCP is a ________________ layer protocol.
The router matches the destination address in the packet header with the destination network of a route in the routing table and forwards the packet to the next-hop router specified by that route
Transport
It adds a header - and adds both source and destination IP addresses. Network layer encapsulation happens only on the original host; other devices can read the data - but they do not remove or alter it until the destination network is reached.
Decapsulation
6. Port 25 is?
RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
SMTP
Transport
It is the most common - and it encapsulates transport layer segments
7. For a network layer packet to travel between hosts - it must be handed down to the _________________ layer - for another layer of encapsulation called framing - and then encoded and put onto the ____________ layer to be sent to the next router.
