    This document contains questions for a term-end examination on network programming and administration. Question 1 has 8 sub-questions covering topics like the purpose of the Type of Service field, socket programming, TCP flow control, HTTP methods, POP vs IMAP, ARP vs RARP, cloud computing, and VPNs. Questions 2-5 ask students to explain TCP connection establishment, IP address classes, write algorithms for a TCP client-server program, explain distance vector routing and the count-to-infinity problem, describe socket system calls, DHCP, and differentiate between TCP/IP vs OSI models, IPv4 vs IPv6, name servers, and file allocation tables.

    questions from the rest.
    1.

    (a) What is a purpose of "Type of Service" field

    explain the maximum number of hops that
    a datagram can remain in, in the network
    before it is discarded.

    (a) What kinds of segments are used in


    connection establishment and termination
    using 3-way handshaking in TCP ? Explain
    through a suitable diagram.
    (b) What are the various IP address classes ?
    How many bits are used to represent the

    classes.

    10

    Write an algorithm each for TCP client and server


    with the following specification.
    TCP Server can handle maximum 5 clients

    at a time.

    TCP client will initiate the communication


    and send any alphanumeric character
    randomly to the server.

    TCP server accepts the character and as a


    reply it sends the ASCII value of that
    character to the respective client.
