13. (True/False) All link layer protocols that support IP have the same frame
structure (i.e., length of frame, number and length of header fields).
14. (True/False) CRC error detection, as used in Ethernet, is always able to detect
whether there is an error in a frame.
15. (True/False) The even parity bit scheme can correct single bit errors.
16. (True/False) Each LAN adapter has a unique LAN address.
17. (True/False) Consider a router with multiple ARP tables, one for each of its
interfaces. No two of these ARP tables can contain the same LAN address.
18. (True/False) Consider a twisted-pair Ethernet in which all nodes are 50 meters
from the hub. The time it takes for a bit to propagate from hub to node for a
10BaseT Ethernet is ten times longer then for a 100BaseT Ethernet.
19. (True/False) The entries in a switch table need to be configured by the network
administrator.
20. (True/False) Consider the switched LAN architecture having a star topology.
Assuming all links are full duplex, there are never collisions in this LAN.
21. (True/False) Consider a computer network consisting of several interconnected
10BaseT hubs, but which does not include any bridges or routers. Then this
network has only one collision domain.
22. A channel partitioning protocol has which of the following characteristics:
a. it does not generate collisions
b. all transmitting nodes get the same amount of bandwidth
c. there is no master node
d. all of the above
23. In slotted ALOHA with N active nodes, the probability that no node transmits in a
given slot is
a. pN
b. (1-p)N
c. 1-p
d. (1-p)N
24. An ARP query packet is encapsulated in
a. an IP datagram
b. a link-layer broadcast frame
c. a link-layer frame addressed to a specific adapter
d. none of the above
25. Ethernet provides which of the following services to the network layer
a. reliable data transfer
b. flow control
c. error detection
d. all of the above
26. For Ethernet, if an adapter determines that a frame it has just received is
addressed to a different adapter
a. it discards the frame and sends an error message to the network layer
b. it delivers the frame to the network layer, and lets the network layer decide
what to do
c. it sends a NACK (not acknowledged frame) to the sending host
d. it discards the frame without sending an error message to the network
layer
27. In the Ethernet CSMA/CD protocol, suppose a node constructs a frame and then
senses the channel as busy. Then
a. the adapter begins to transmit the frame.
b. the adapter enters exponential backoff.
c. the adapter waits until it senses the channel idle and then begins to
transmit the frame.
d. none of the above
28. In CSMA/CD, after the 3rd collision, what is the probability that the value of K that
a node chooses is 2?
a. 0
b. .125
c. .25
d. .33
29. A 10BaseT Ethernet LAN has
a. a star topology
b. a ring topology
c. a linear topology (i.e., a bus)
d. none of the above
30. When a switch transmits an Ethernet frame, the Ethernet frame has
a. the swtitch's LAN address for its source address
b. the broadcast address for the its source address
c. the swtitch's LAN address for its destination address
d. none of the above
