Distributed System 2 PDF

This document contains 29 multiple choice questions about distributed systems concepts. Some of the key topics covered include layers of the OSI model, message passing vs shared memory in inter-process communication, client-server models, remote procedure calls, and layers of the TCP/IP model. Remote procedure calls allow processes on separate systems to communicate by extending the local procedure call to a distributed environment. The transport layer is responsible for process-to-process delivery in distributed systems.
