1. A local telephone network is an example of a _______ network.
a) Packet switched
b) Circuit switched
c) Bit switched
d) Line switched
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Circuit switching is connection oriented switching technique, whereas in the case of packet
switching, it is connectionless. Circuit switching is implemented in the Physical layer, whereas packet
switching is implemented in the Network layer. Internet too is based on the concept of circuit switching.
2. Most packet switches use this principle ____________
a) Stop and wait
b) Store and forward
c) Store and wait
d) Stop and forward
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: The packet switch will not transmit the first bit to outbound link until it receives the entire
packet. If the entire packet is not received and the time-out period expires, the packet switch will inform the
sender to resend the part of packet or the entire packet based on the algorithm being used.

d) L/R
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: The equation to find the end to end delay when no. of bits, transmission rate and no. of routers
is given by (N*L)/R. The total end to end delay, that is, nodal delay is the sum of all, the processing delay,
queuing delay, transmission delay and propagation delay.

systems.
7. In _________ systems, resources are allocated on demand.
a) packet switching
b) circuit switching
c) line switching
d) frequency switching
View Answer
Answer: a
