4. What is a socket?
the combination of the source and destination IP address and source and destination
Ethernet address
the combination of a source IP address and port number or a destination IP address
and port number
the combination of the source and destination sequence and acknowledgment numbers
the combination of the source and destination sequence numbers and port numbers
5. A PC is downloading a large file from a server. The TCP window is 1000 bytes. The
server is sending the file using 100-byte segments. How many segments will the server
send before it requires an acknowledgment from the PC?
1 segment
10 segments
100 segments
1000 segments
Explanation: With a window of 1000 bytes, the destination host accepts segments until all
1000 bytes of data have been received. Then the destination host sends an
acknowledgment.
Explanation: Window is the number of bytes that the sender will send prior to expecting an
acknowledgement from the destination device. The initial window is agreed upon during the
session startup via the three-way handshake between source and destination. It is
determined by how much data the destination device of a TCP session is able to accept
and process at one time.
Explanation: When a client has UDP datagrams to send, it just sends the datagrams.
8. Which three fields are used in a UDP segment header? (Choose three.)
Window Size
Length
Source Port
Acknowledgment Number
Checksum

Explanation: A UDP header consists of only the Source Port, Destination Port, Length, and
Checksum fields. Sequence Number, Acknowledgment Number, and Window Size are TCP
header fields.
9. What are two roles of the transport layer in data communication on a network?
(Choose two.)
Explanation: The transport layer has several responsibilities. The primary responsibilities
include the following:
Tracking the individual communication streams between applications on the source
and destination hosts
Segmenting data at the source and reassembling the data at the destination
Identifying the proper application for each communication stream through the use of
port numbers
10. What information is used by TCP to reassemble and reorder received segments?
port numbers
sequence numbers
acknowledgment numbers
fragment numbers
Explanation: At the transport layer, TCP uses the sequence numbers in the header of each
TCP segment to reassemble the segments into the correct order.
11. What important information is added to the TCP/IP transport layer header to ensure
communication and connectivity with a remote network device?
12. Which two characteristics are associated with UDP sessions? (Choose two.)
Explanation:
TCP:
Provides tracking of transmitted data segments
Destination devices will acknowledge received data.
Source devices will retransmit unacknowledged data.
UDP
Destination devices will not acknowledge received data
Headers use very little overhead and cause minimal delay.

13. A client application needs to terminate a TCP »communication session with a server.
Translate
Place the termination process steps in the order that they will occur. (Not all options are
used.)
Explanation: In order to terminate a TCP session, the client sends to the server a segment
with the FIN flag set. The server acknowledges the client by sending a segment with the
ACK flag set. The server sends a FIN to the client to terminate the server to client session.
The client acknowledges the termination by sending a segment with the ACK flag set.
14. Which flag in the TCP header is used in response to a received FIN in order to
terminate connectivity between two network devices?
FIN
ACK
SYN
RST
Explanation: In a TCP session, when a device has no more data to send, it will send a
segment with the FIN flag set. The connected device that receives the segment will respond
with an ACK to acknowledge that segment. The device that sent the ACK will then send a
FIN message to close the connection it has with the other device. The sending of the FIN
should be followed with the receipt of an ACK from the other device.
15. Which protocol or service uses UDP for a client-to-server communication and TCP for
server-to-server communication?
HTTP
FTP
DNS
SMTP
Explanation: Some applications may use both TCP and UDP. DNS uses UDP when clients
send requests to a DNS server, and TCP when two DNS serves directly communicate.

UDP datagrams take the same path and arrive in the correct order at the destination.
Applications that use UDP are always considered unreliable.
UDP reassembles the received datagrams in the order they were received.
UDP only passes data to the network when the destination is ready to receive the data.
Explanation: UDP has no way to reorder the datagrams into their transmission order, so
UDP simply reassembles the data in the order it was received and forwards it to the
application.
17. What kind of port must be requested from IANA in order to be used with a specific
application?
registered port
private port
dynamic port
source port
18. Which three application layer protocols use TCP? (Choose three.)
SMTP
FTP
SNMP
HTTP
TFTP
DHCP
Explanation: Some protocols require the reliable data transport that is provided by TCP. In
addition, these protocols do not have real time communication requirements and can
tolerate some data loss while minimizing protocol overhead. Examples of these protocols
are SMTP, FTP, and HTTP.
Explanation: UDP is a simple protocol that provides the basic transport layer functions. It
has much lower overhead than TCP because it is not connection-oriented and does not
offer the sophisticated retransmission, sequencing, and flow control mechanisms that
provide reliability.
20. Which two fields are included in the TCP header but not in the UDP header? (Choose
two.)
window
checksum
source port
destination port
sequence number

Explanation: The sequence number and window fields are included in the TCP header but
not in the UDP header.
21. Which field in the TCP header indicates the status of the three-way handshake
process?
window
reserved
checksum
control bits
Explanation: The value in the control bits field of theTCP header indicates the progress
and status of the connection.
22. Why does HTTP use TCP as the transport layer protocol?
Explanation: When a host requests a web page, transmission reliability and completeness
must be guaranteed. Therefore, HTTP uses TCP as its transport layer protocol.
23. Which two types of applications are best suited for UDP? (Choose two.)
24. How are port numbers used in the TCP/IP encapsulation process?
Source port numbers and destination port numbers are not necessary when UDP is the
transport layer protocol being used for the communication.
Source port and destination port numbers are randomly generated.
If multiple conversations occur that are using the same service, the source port
number is used to track the separate conversations.
Destination port numbers are assigned automatically and cannot be changed.
Explanation: Both UDP and TCP use port numbers to provide a unique identifier for each
conversation. Source port numbers are randomly generated and are used to track different
conversations. Destination port numbers identify specific services by using either a default
port number for the service or a port number that is assigned manually by a system
administrator.
25. In what two situations would UDP be better than TCP as the preferred transport
protocol? (Choose two.)
when applications need to guarantee that a packet arrives intact, in sequence, and
unduplicated
when a faster delivery mechanism is needed
when delivery overhead is not an issue
when applications do not need to guarantee delivery of the data
when destination port numbers are dynamic
Explanation: UDP is a very simple transport layer protocol that does not guarantee
delivery. Devices on both ends of the conversation are not required to keep track of the
conversation. UDP is used as the transport protocol for applications that need a speedy,
best-effort delivery.

27. Which three statements describe a DHCP Discover message? (Choose three.)
28. Which two protocols may devices use in the application process that sends email?
(Choose two.)
HTTP
SMTP
POP
IMAP
DNS
POP3
Explanation: POP, POP3, and IMAP are protocols that are used to retrieve email from
servers. SMTP is the default protocol that is used to send email. DNS may be used by the
sender email server to find the address of the destination email server.
Explanation: The Server Message Block protocol is a protocol for file, printer, and directory
sharing. Clients establish a long term connection to servers and when the connection is
active, the resources can be accessed. Every SMB message has the same format. The use
of SMB differs from FTP mainly in the length of the sessions. SMB messages can
authenticate sessions.

and the underlying network over which messages are transmitted?
application
presentation
session
transport
32. Which networking model is being used when an author uploads one chapter
document to a file server of a book publisher?
peer-to-peer
master-slave
client/server
point-to-point
Explanation: In the client/server network model, a network device assumes the role of
server in order to provide a particular service such as file transfer and storage. In the
client/server network model, a dedicated server does not have to be used, but if one is
present, the network model being used is the client/server model. In contrast, a peer-to-
peer network does not have a dedicated server.
33. What do the client/server and peer-to-peer network models have in common?
Explanation: In both the client/server and peer-to-peer network models, clients and servers
exist. In peer-to-peer networks, no dedicated server exists, but a device can assume the
server role to provide information to a device serving in the client role.
34. In what networking model would eDonkey, eMule, BitTorrent, Bitcoin, and LionShare
be used?
peer-to-peer
client-based
master-slave
point-to-point
35. What is a common protocol that is used with peer-to-peer applications such as
WireShare, Bearshare, and Shareaza?
Ethernet
Gnutella
POP
SMTP
Explanation: The Gnutella protocol is used when one user shares an entire file with
another user. A person would load a Gnutella-based application such as gtk-gnutella or
WireShare and use that application to locate and access resources shared by others.

36. What is a key characteristic of the peer-to-peer networking model?
wireless networking
social networking without the Internet
network printing using a print server
resource sharing without a dedicated server
Explanation: The peer-to-peer (P2P) networking model allows data, printer, and resource
sharing without a dedicated server.
37. The application layer of the TCP/IP model performs the functions of what three layers
of the OSI model? (Choose three.)
physical
session
network
presentation
data link
transport
application
Explanation: The network access layer of the TCP/IP model performs the same functions
as the physical and data link layers of the OSI model. The internetwork layer equates to the
network layer of the OSI model. The transport layers are the same in both models. The
application layer of the TCP/IP model represents the session, presentation, and application
layers of the OSI model.
38. What is an example of network communication that uses the client-server model?
A user uses eMule to download a file that is shared by a friend after the file location is
determined.
A workstation initiates an ARP to find the MAC address of a receiving host.
A user prints a document by using a printer that is attached to a workstation of a coworker.
A workstation initiates a DNS request when the user types www.cisco.com in the
address bar of a web browser.
Explanation: When a user types a domain name of a website into the address bar of a web
browser, a workstation needs to send a DNS request to the DNS server for the name
resolution process. This request is a client/server model application. The eMule application
is P2P. Sharing a printer on a workstation is a peer-to-peer network. Using ARP is just a
broadcast message sent by a host.
39. Which layer in the TCP/IP model is used for formatting, compressing, and encrypting
data?
internetwork
session
presentation
application
network access
Explanation: The application layer of the TCP/IP model performs the functions of three
layers of the OSI model – application, presentation, and session. The application layer of
the TCP/IP model is the layer that provides the interface between the applications, is
responsible for formatting, compressing, and encrypting data, and is used to create and
maintain dialogs between source and destination applications.

46. Which applications or services allow hosts to act as client and server at the same
time?
client/server applications
email applications
P2P applications
authentication services
Explanation: P2P applications allow the clients to behave as servers if needed. When
using authentication services, email exchange, and client/server applications, one host acts
as server and the other acts as client at all times.
scalability
one way data flow
decentralized resources
centralized user accounts
resource sharing without a dedicated server

the phone is a transport layer address used to contact another network device on the same
network.
A student is playing a short web-based movie with sound. The movie and sound are
encoded within the transport layer header.
A student has two web browser windows open in order to access two web sites. The
transport layer ensures the correct web page is delivered to the correct browser
window.
A corporate worker is accessing a web server located on a corporate network. The
transport layer formats the screen so the web page appears properly no matter what device is
being used to view the web site.
Explanation: The source and destination port numbers are used to identify the correct
application and window within that application.
