1. Functions of presentation layer

Connected with the syntax & semantics of the information exchange between two syntaxes. Translation Encryption & Decryption Compression

2.

Protocol It is a set of rules that govern all aspects of the data communication. The key element of a protocol are syntax, semantics &timing

3. Stop & Wait ARQ If a NAK is lost in transit the sending device wait until its times go off then retransmit the data frame. The receivers accept the new copy & return the opposite acknowledgement.
4. Advantages of FDDI over Token ring FDDI is implemental as a dual ring Where as token ring has single ring. Whenever a problem occurs on the primary ring the secondary can be activated to complete data circuits & Maintain service. This is not possible in token ring. Datagram In the diagram each protocol is treated independently from all other packets and take different routes. Virtual Circuit All packets of a message follow the exact same route. Subnetting The Network is Splitted into several parts for internal use but still act like a single network to the outside world. In the internet literature these parts called subnetting. 7. Socket Socket creates a new communication end point and allocates table space for it within the transport entry in the transport keys. 8. Difference between physical address and logical address. Physical address -Physical address implemented by the data link layer handles the addressing problem locally Logical address - If it is implemented by the network layer It is called IP address and have universal address . 9. SMTP The TCP/IP protocol that support e-mail on the internet is called Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).SMTP provides for mail exchange between users on the or different

10. Dynamic document is created by web server wherever a browser requests the document. CGI is technology that creates & turn dynamic documents. CGI is a set of circuits that defines how dynamic document, how I/P data should be supplied to the program & how the O/P result should be used.

PART-B 11. a) i) Network support layers in the OSI model.

Physical Layer Data Link layer & Network layer Physical layer functions Deal with physical characters of interfaces of media. Representing of bits Data rate , Transmission rate Synchronization of bits Line configuration Physical topology Transmission mode Data link layer functions Framing Physical addressing Flow control Error control Access control Network layer functions Logical addressing Routing Explanation of each point should be written. ii) Functions of RS232 Mechanical specifications Electrical specifications Functional specifications & Example(i.e demonstrates the functioning of RS232 in synchronous duplex mode) 11 b) i) Network topologies Mesh topology Star topology Tree topology Bus topology Ring topology Brief explanation of each topology should be written. ii) Modems Definition Transmission rate Modem standards Bell modems( 103/113, 201,202 series) ITU-T modems

ii) SONET layers 4 layers Photonic layer Section layer Line layer Path layer 12.b) HDLC data link protocol Station types Configurations Modes of communication Frame types Frame formats Explanation of each sub headings 13.a) Distance vector Routing algorithms Concept Knowledge about the whole network Routing only to neighbors Information sharing at regular intervals Routing table Creating the table Updating the table Updating algorithm Example 13.b) i) IP addressing in TCP/IP network. Class full addressing Netid & Hostid Mask Subneting Superneting Classless addressing Examples of each above. b) ii) Router Internet working among dissimilar subnetworks is achieved by using routers to interconnection the subnetworks. Essential functions that the router must perform include the following: Provide a link between networks. Provide for the routing and delivering of data between processes on end systems attached to different networks. Provide these functions in such a way as not to require modifications of the networking architecture of any of the attached subnetworks. Addressing schemes Maximum packet size Interfaces
