  • NETWORKING HELP!!! PLS?

    What is the difference between a ‘leased line’ and a ‘dedicated line’ when you are connecting to the Internet? Which are you most likely to use at home? Which are you most likely to use at school / work?

    Most application layer protocols use ports. What is a port?

    Who are IANA and what is their role within managing the Internet?

    CSMA / CD stands for Carrier Sense Multi Access with Collision Detection. ‘Carrier Sense’ tells us that systems using this listen for existing traffic on a wire before attempting to transmit. ‘Multi Access’ tells us that there are likely to be multiple nodes communicating on the medium which must compete for bandwidth. If two nodes do transmit at the same time, the CD system comes into play. How does it manage the situation and help to prevent further collisions? Why is CSMA / CD sometimes referred to as a ‘backoff algorithm’?

    CSMA / CA (Collision Avoidance) is another mechanism for managing network access. How does it differ from CSMA / CD?

    Describe the operation of a Token Ring network with particular emphasis on how a token is used to avoid collisions by traffic from competing nodes.
