Network Models: Review Questions

This document contains review questions and answers about network models and the layers of the OSI model. It discusses the responsibilities of each layer, including the physical, data link, network, transport, and application layers. It also addresses topics like peer-to-peer communication between layers, headers and trailers, logical vs physical addressing, and which layers of the OSI model correspond to the layers in the Internet model.

CHAPTER 2

Network Models

Review Questions
1. Physical, data link, network, transport, and application.
2. Physical, data link, and network layers.
3. Application layer.
4. The transport layer is responsible for process-to-process, whereas the network
layer oversees host-to-host delivery of individual packets.
5. Peer-to-peer processes are processes on two or more devices communicating at a
given layer
6. Each layer calls upon the services of the layer just below it using interfaces
between each pair of adjacent layers.
7. Headers and trailers are control data added at the beginning and the end of each
data unit at each layer of the sender and removed at the corresponding layers of
the receiver. They provide source and destination addresses, synchronization
points, information for error detection, etc.
8. The physical layer is responsible for transmitting a bit stream over a physical
medium. It is concerned with
a. physical characteristics of the media
b. representation of bits
c. type of encoding
d. synchronization of bits
e. transmission rate and mode
f. the way devices are connected with each other and to the links
9. The data link layer is responsible for
a. framing data bits
b. providing the physical addresses of the sender/receiver
c. data rate control
d. detection and correction of damaged and lost frames

10. The network layer is concerned with delivery of a packet across multiple net-
works; therefore its responsibilities include
a. providing host-to-host addressing
b. routing
11. The transport layer oversees the process-to-process delivery of the entire message.
It is responsible for
a. dividing the message into manageable segments
b. reassembling it at the destination,
c. flow and error control
12. The physical address is the local address of a node; it is used by the data link layer
to deliver data from one node to another within the same network. The logical
address defines the sender and receiver at the network layer and is used to deliver
messages across multiple networks. The port address (service-point) identifies the
application process on the station.
13. The application layer services include, file transfer, remote access, shared database
management, and mail services
14. The application, presentation, and session layers of the OSI model are represented
by the application layer in the Internet model. The lowest four layers of OSI corre-
spond to the Internet model layers.
