Subject : it-skills
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.

23. IS designed for the exchange of electronic mail between networked systems -such as between mail servers over a TCP/IP network






24. Term that describes current anti-intrusion technologies






25. A form of address translation that uses Tcp port numbers to distinguish each client's transmission - thus allowing multiple clients to share a limited number of Internet-recognized IP addresses.






26. On a computer that receives data over a network - the process in which the device interprets the lower-layer headers and - when finished with each header - removes the header - revealing the next-higher-layer PDU.
