2. Each statement below is either TRUE or FALSE. Choose the most appropriate one and ENTER in the “tear-off” sheet attached to the question paper, following instructions therein. (1×10)
2.1 HDLC is a standard synchronous communication protocol.
2.2 A protocol data unit (PDU) is exchanged between the same layers in two separate protocol stacks. It comprises the PDU passed from the layer immediately above and itsown protocol control information.
2.3 Telnet establishes a TCP connection to port 125, on which the POP3 server listens.
2.4 The presentation layer ensures interoperability between communicating devices through transformation of data into a mutually agreed upon format.
2.5 In statistical TDM, slots are dynamically allocated to improve bandwidth efficiency.
2.6 Membership in a VLAN can be based on port numbers, MAC addresses, IP addresses, multicast addresses, or a combination of these features.
2.7 To distinguish between different streams, SCTP uses the sequence identifier (SI).
2.8 The minimum Hamming distance is the maximum Hamming distance between all possible pairs in a set of words.
2.9 One of the advantages of a hub is the separation of the collision domain.
2.10 A bridge does not change the physical (MAC) addresses in a frame.
PART TWO
(Answer any FOUR questions)
5. a) Explain the responsibilities of the session layer and presentation layer in OSI reference model.
b) Data can be corrupted during transmission. Explain the types of error which can be generated by corruption of data at data link layer. How CRC can be used to detect these kinds of error?
c) Explain Distance Vector Routing. Describe how split horizon technique is used to remove the problem of count infinity. (5+5+5)
