ECEN 224 Set 3 questions with 100%
complete solutions graded A+
What is a NIC? - ANS ✔Network Interface Card or Network adapter
How do packets get from source (host) to destination? - ANS ✔hopping through networks,
different routes it could take
What is a protocol? - ANS ✔A set of rules for how devices communicate and how data is
transmitted across a network
What is a host address? - ANS ✔The part of an IP address that identifies a specific device.
What is a packet? - ANS ✔A portion of a message broken down into bytes. Consists of header
and payload.
What is a header? - ANS ✔contains info such as packet size, source and destination addresses
What is a payload? - ANS ✔contains data bits sent from source host
What is a server? - ANS ✔a computer dedicated to providing one or more services to other
computers or devices on a network, manages resource
What is a client? - ANS ✔A computer that is designed to request information from a server
, What is encapsulation? - ANS ✔Encapsulation is the combining of data and code into a single
object.
What is a IP address? - ANS ✔Unique identifier for a computer on a network
What are domain names? - ANS ✔set of identifiers that set of IP addresses are mapped to
What is a socket? - ANS ✔the combination of a source IP address and port number or a
destination IP address and port number
What is a port? - ANS ✔16-bit integer that identifies a process
Ephemeral port: assigned automatically by client kernel when client makes a connection request
Well-known port: associated with some service provided by a server
What is a network protocol? - ANS ✔A standard set of rules used to determine how networks
communicate with each other. (HTTP, IP, TCP)
What is concurrency? - ANS ✔Running tasks at almost the same time in an unspecified order.
This is achieved through context switches by the operating system.
What is the difference of concurrency and parallel? - ANS ✔Parallel is like having a second
worker, concurrency switches between contexts
What can you do with smaller transistors? - ANS ✔- shrink the size of the chip with the same
capability
- add more capability to a same-size chip
What case sets CPU condition? - ANS ✔sal, add, etc
