TELECOMMUNICATION (Computer Science) AND
NETWORKING EXAM 1 STUDY QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS RATED A.
The World Wide Web was conceived at University of Utah as part of the
development of the Internet.
False
The standard protocol for communication between a Web browser and a
Web server is the web protocol.
False
Cloud-hosted virtual desktops are now available through a service called
DaaS allowing users to access the same client computer (virtual desktop)
from any computer and any location.
True
All three parts (request line, request header, request body) of an HTTP
request from a web browser to a web server are required when a request
is made.
False
The earliest data communications networks were client-server networks.
False
Using the POP standard for client to server e-mail communication, the e-
mail messages remain on the server computer
False
The four general functions of any application program are: data storage,
data access logic, application logic and presentation logic.
, True
A server farm is a group of computers that are linked together so they act
as a one computer.
True
The fundamental problem in client-based networks is that all data on the
server must travel to the client for processing.
True
In a client-server network, the presentation logic is the responsibility of
the client computer.
True
The two-tier e-mail architecture does not require any application software
on the client computer.
False
In the three-tier architecture, the software on the client computer is
responsible for the presentation logic, an application server is responsible
for the application logic and a separate database server is responsible for
the data access logic and data storage.
True
An application architecture is the way in which the functions of the
application layer are performed solely by the clients in the network.
False
Compare and contrast two-tiered, three-tiered, and n-tiered client server
architectures. What are the technical differences, and what advantages
and disadvantages do each offer?
