DCN Question Bank Test 2 - Answers
2-Mark Questions
1. Draw the layered structure of TCP/IP Model:
Application Layer
Transport Layer
Internet Layer
Network Access Layer
2. Enlist various Error detection methods:
Parity Check (VRC and LRC), Checksum, Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)
3. What is OSI Stands for? Enlist various layers of OSI Model:
OSI: Open Systems Interconnection
Layers: Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, Application
4. Explain the terms:
Single Bit Error: Only one bit is corrupted.
Burst Error: Two or more bits are corrupted.
5. Write a note on HUB:
A hub connects multiple computers in a LAN and broadcasts data to all.
6. Explain Gateway:
A gateway connects two different networks using different protocols.
7. Explain Static IP:
A static IP is manually assigned and doesn't change over time.
8. Draw piconet and scatternet:
Piconet: One master and multiple slaves.
Scatternet: Multiple interconnected piconets.
9. Explain Dynamic IP:
Assigned by DHCP servers and can change every time.
10. Name two sub layers of Data link Layer:
Logical Link Control (LLC), Media Access Control (MAC)
11. Write a note on Repeater:
Repeater amplifies and retransmits signals to extend network range.
12. What is the difference between Hub and Switch?
Hub: Broadcasts data to all.
Switch: Sends data only to intended recipient.
13. What is Error? Enlist types of Errors:
An error is an unwanted change in data.
Types: Single Bit Error, Burst Error
14. Explain VRC:
Adds a parity bit to each byte to detect errors.
15. Explain Scatternet:
Group of Piconets connected through common devices in Bluetooth networks.
4-Mark Questions
1. Write a note on Mobile Generations:
1G: Analog voice
2G: Digital voice, SMS
3G: Mobile internet, video calls
4G: High-speed internet, HD streaming
5G: Ultra-fast data, low latency, IoT support
2. Compare OSI and TCP/IP models:
OSI Model: 7 layers, theoretical, protocol independent
TCP/IP Model: 4 layers, practical, protocol specific
3. Explain CRC Method:
Uses polynomial division to detect errors. Sender appends CRC bits. Receiver checks for zero
remainder.
4. Explain various types of Errors with example:
Single-bit Error: 10001111 -> 10011111
Burst Error: 10001111 -> 11011111
5. Explain Checksum Method with Example:
Segments are summed and complemented. Receiver checks sum with checksum.
6. Explain ARQ:
ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest) retransmits data on error. Types: Stop-and-Wait, Go-Back-N,
Selective Repeat.
7. Explain LRC Method with Example:
Adds parity block across data rows to detect burst errors.
8. Explain the functions of Network and Transport Layer of OSI model:
Network Layer: Routing, logical addressing
Transport Layer: End-to-end communication, error control
9. Explain Bluetooth architecture:
Master-slave model with Piconets and Scatternets. Layers: Radio, Baseband, L2CAP, etc.
10. Explain the functions of Session and Presentation Layer of OSI model:
Session Layer: Manages sessions
Presentation Layer: Data translation, encryption, compression
11. Write a note on Physical Layer of OSI model:
Handles hardware transmission, bit transfer, and topology.
12. Explain the terms- Switch, Router:
Switch: Data Link Layer device; directs data to recipient
Router: Network Layer; routes data between networks
13. Explain the need of Repeater:
Repeater amplifies signals to overcome attenuation in long distances.
14. Explain IP addressing:
Logical identification of devices using IPv4 (32-bit) or IPv6 (128-bit).
15. Explain the terms- Supernetting, Subnetting:
Supernetting: Combines networks
Subnetting: Divides network into smaller subnets
