Which of the following organizations developed the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model? A. International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) B. Comité Consultatif International Télégraphique et Téléphonique (CCITT) C. American National Standards Institute (ANSI) D. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) E. International Organization for Standardization (ISO) - Correct Answer E. ISO developed and published the OSI model to serve as a conceptual model for software and hardware developers. The ITU-T, formerly known as the CCITT, coordinates the development and advancement of international telecommunication networks and services. ANSI is a private organization that administers and coordinates a United States-based standardization and conformity assessment system. The IEEE publishes standards that define data link and physical layer standards. These standards are referred to collectively as the 802 series At which of the following layers of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model do the protocols on a typical local area network (LAN) use media access control (MAC) addresses to identify other computers on the network? A. Physical B. Data link C. Network D. Transport - Correct Answer B. The Ethernet (or IEEE 802.3) protocol at the data link layer uses MAC addresses to idenitify computers on the local network. MAC addresses are coded into the firmware of physical network interface adapters by the manufacturer. The physical layer deals with signals and is not involved in addressing. The IP protocol at the network layer has its own addressing system. The transport layer protocols are not involved in addressing. Which layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model is responsible for the logical addressing of end systems and the routing of datagrams on a network? A. Physical B. Data link C. Network D. Transport E. Session F. Presentation G. Application - Correct Answer C. Network layer protocols (such as IP) contain headers that specify logical addresses for end system communication and route datagrams across a network. The physical layer defines standards for physical and
