Computer Network
Which of the following is an example of Bluetooth?

A. Wide area network
B. Virtual private network
C. Local area network
D. Personal area network

Explanation: Bluetooth is a wireless technology used to create a wireless personal area network for data transfer up to a distance of 10 meters. It operates on 2.45 GHz frequency band for transmission.

What is the full form of OSI?

A. Optical service implementation
B. Open service internet
C. Open system interconnection
D. Operating system interface

Explanation: OSI is the abbreviation for Open System Interconnection. OSI model provides a structured plan on how applications communicate over a network, which also helps us to have a structured plan for troubleshooting. It is recognized by the ISO as the generalized model for computer network i.e. it can be modified to design any kind of computer network.

When a collection of various computers appears as a single coherent system to its clients, what is this called?

A. Mail system
B. Networking system
C. Computer network
D. Distributed system

Explanation: A Computer network is defined as a collection of interconnected computers which uses a single technology for connection. A distributed system is also the same as computer network but the main difference is that the whole collection of computers appears to its users as a single coherent system. Example:- World wide web

How many layers are there in the ISO OSI reference model?

A. 7
B. 5
C. 4
D. 6

Explanation: The seven layers in ISO OSI reference model is Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data link and Physical layer. OSI stands for Open System Interconnect and it is a generalized model.

What are nodes in a computer network?

A. The computer that routes the data
B. The computer that terminates the data
C. The computer that originates the data
D. All of the mentioned

Explanation: In a computer network, a node can be anything that is capable of sending data or receiving data or even routing the data to its destination. Routers, Computers and Smartphones are some examples of network nodes.

How is a single channel shared by multiple signals in a computer network?

A. Multiplexing
B. Phase modulation
C. Analog modulation
D. Digital modulation

Explanation: In communication and computer networks, the main goal is to share a scarce resource. This is done by multiplexing, where multiple analog or digital signals are combined into one signal over a shared medium. The multiple kinds of signals are designated by the transport layer which is the layer present on a higher level than the physical layer.

Which of the following devices forwards packets between networks by processing the routing information included in the packet?

A. Firewall
B. Bridge
C. Hub
D. Router

Explanation: A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the traffic directing functions on the Internet. They make use of routing protocols like RIP to find the cheapest path to the destination.

What is the term for an endpoint of an inter-process communication flow across a computer network?

A. Port
B. Machine
C. Socket
D. Pipe

Explanation: Socket is one end point in a two way communication link in the network. TCP layer can identify the application that data is destined to be sent by using the port number that is bound to socket.

How do two devices become part of a network?

A. Pids of the processes running of different devices are same
B. A process in one device is able to exchange information with a process in another device
C. A process is active and another is inactive
D. A process is running on both devices

Explanation: A computer network, or data network, is a digital telecommunications network which allows nodes to share resources. In computer networks, computing devices exchange data with each other using connections between nodes. The nodes have certain processes which enable them to share a specific type of data using a distinct protocol.

Which type of network shares the communication channel among all the machines?

A. Anycast network
B. Multicast network
C. Unicast network
D. Broadcast network

Explanation: In a broadcast network, information is sent to all stations in a network whereas in a multicast network the data or information is sent to a group of stations in the network. In unicast network, information is sent to only one specific station. The broadcast address of the network is the last assigned address of the network.
