Ans.

Transport layer network layer

logical communication between processes logical communication between hosts

Sender: breaks application messages into

segments (Segment the PDU), and passes to

network layer

Sender:, encapsulates the PDU that it

receives from the Transport layer in the

form of packet PDU and passes to data link

layer



Q8/ What is the main differences between TCP and UDP Services?

Ans.

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)

Service

User Datagram Protocol (UDP)

Service

1. Connection-oriented Connectionless

2. Reliable transfer of data. Unreliable Not guaranteed.

3. Segment retransmission and flow

control through windowing

No windowing or retransmission

4. Segment sequencing No sequencing

5. Acknowledge sequencing No acknowledgment

6. Lost data retransmission Feasible Practically, not possible.

7. There is a delay in transfer of

information.

The transmission is faster. Due to the

absence of connection establishment phase,

Q9/ Give the Definition of the Connection-Oriented and Connectionless.

Ans.

Connection-Oriented: – before data is sent, the service from the sending computer must

establish a connection with the receiving computer. (Email is connection-oriented).

Connectionless: – data can be sent at any time by the service from the sending computer.

(Downloading a music file from the Internet is connectionless).

Q10/ What does PDU abbreviation stands for in computer networking? Then draw

table showing the shape for the PDU for each layer?

Answer:

PDU stands for: Protocol Data Unit

The Layer Shape of data (PDU)

Top three layers (Application layer). Data

Transport layer Segment

Network layer Packets

Data Link layer Frames

Physical layer Bits

model? Or

Q11/ Fill the following table of the delivery data in layered model.

layer Type of delivery Shape of data Type of addressing

Ans.

layer Type of delivery Shape of data Type of addressing

Transport End to End Segment Port (socket)

Network Source To Destination Packet Logical (IP)

Data Link Node to Node Frame Physical (MAC)

Q12/ Define OSI protocol model Encapsulation and the PDU protocol.

OR Q20/ Explain with drawing the Encapsulation process and the PDU protocol.

Ans.

Encapsulation: As application data is passed down the protocol stack on its way to be

transmitted across the network media, various protocols add information to it at each level.

This is commonly known as the encapsulation process.

The form that a piece of data takes at any layer is called a Protocol Data Unit (PDU). PDU’s

are used for peer-to-peer contact between corresponding layers.
