Number 28 is wrong. A class B address (255.255.0.0) has a maximum number of
65,534. Why? 255.255.0.0 = 16 bits. 32 (max number of bits) - 16 = 16. 2^16 =
65,536 - 2 = 65,534.

#5 is also wrong. Hubs are dummy switches that are used to connect multiple
computers to a network but do not break up collision domains. So when the hub
receives a packet it sends it out all ports to find the right computer. Hubs are layer
1 (physical) on the OSI model. Switches have a MAC address table so when it
receives that same packet, it knows exactly which port to send the information to.
Also switches allow for VLANs which creates broadcast domains and segregates
traffic. Now as far as routing goes...switches do have routing capability but only if
they are a layer 3 switch. So since the question doesn't specify just assume its a
layer 2 switch so it operates on the datalink layer or layer 2

I dont like the answer for #10. When an interviewer asks this question they are
looking for key words. Difference between UDP and TCP. TCP is connection
oriented. and UDP is Connectionless
THey might follow up with "What are teh benefits of each and what uses that
protocol."
TCP is more reliable. It uses a 3 way hand shake to verify the data has arrive. Its
good for SMTP HTTP, FTP, Telnet...things that need verification.
UDP just sends out data without guaranteeing delivery. Because of this UDP is
faster. SO its good for stuff where speed is more important. Video, VOice, DHCP,
DNS.
It seems as though the person who answered this question just looked up the
answer without understanding what TCP and UDP are. This is a very possible
question to get asked,
