Multiple Choices:: TA. Muneerah Al-Eidi Office 2010

This document contains a multiple choice quiz about computer networking topics like transmission types, network topologies, and protocols. It also includes review questions and exercises about network configurations and the consequences of connection failures in different topologies. The questions cover topics like simplex and full-duplex transmission, point-to-point and multipoint connections, LANs and WANs, mesh, ring, bus and star topologies, and protocols. The exercises analyze cable requirements and effects of failures in bus, ring, mesh and star network configurations.

Review Questions (From the text book -Data communication and networkingPage.24)

1-

For n devices in a network, what is the number of cable links required for
mesh, ring, bus, star topology?
a. Mesh: n (n 1) / 2
b. Star: n
c. Ring: n
d. Bus: one backbone and n drop lines

2- What is the difference between half-duplex and full-duplex transmission


modes?

In half-duplex transmission, only one entity can send at a time; in a fullduplex transmission, both entities can send at the same time.
5-

What are the advantages of a multipoint connection over a point-to-point


connection?

Advantages of a multipoint over a point-to-point configuration (type of


connection) include ease of installation and low cost.
6- Why are standards needed?

Standards are needed to create and maintain an open and competitive


market for manufacturers, to coordinate protocol rules, and thus guarantee
compatibility of data communication technologies.
7- What are the advantages of distributed processing?

The advantages of distributed processing are faster problem solving.


8- Name the four basic network topologies, and cite an advantage for each type.

a. Mesh: secure
b. Bus: easy installation
c. Star: robust
d. Ring: easy fault isolation

Exercises

(From the text book -Data communication and networking-

Page.24-25)
15- In the ring topology in Figure 1.8, what happens if one of the stations is
unplugged?

Theoretically, in a ring topology, unplugging one station, interrupts the


ring. However, most ring networks use a mechanism that bypasses the
station; the ring can continue its operation.

17-

In
the bus topology in Figure 1.7, what happens if one of the stations is
unplugged?

In a bus topology, no station is in the path of the signal. Unplugging a station


has no effect on the operation of the rest of the network.

19- Assume five devices are arranged in a mesh topology. How many cables are
needed? How many ports are needed for each device?
Cables= n(n-1)/2=5(4)/2=10 cables
Number of ports = n-1 = 5-1 = 4 ports
22- For each of the following four networks, discuss the consequences if a
connection fails.
a. Six devices arranged in a bus topology
Bus Topology: All transmission stops if the failure is in the bus. If the dropline fails, only the corresponding device cannot operate.
b. Four devices arranged in a ring topology
Ring Topology: The failed connection may disable the whole network unless
it is a dual ring or there is a by-pass mechanism.
c. Five devices arranged in a mesh topology
Mesh topology: If one connection fails, the other connections will still be
working.
d. Seven devices arranged in a star topology (not counting the hub)
Star topology: The other devices will still be able to send data through the
hub; there will be no access to the device which has the failed connection
to the hub.
