Q1easyIn the Data Link Layer, what is "Framing"?AMarking the boundaries (start and end) of a stream of bits so the receiver knows when one packet ends and the next begins.BCompressing data.CEncrypting the data for safety.DThe process of framing a message for a police report.Check AnswerReveal Answer & ExplanationDiscuss on Board
Q2easyWhat is the purpose of the Inter-Frame Gap (IFG) in Ethernet?ATo provide a brief period of idle time, allowing stations to reset after a transmission and preventing a single station from hogging the wire.BTo encrypt the frame.CTo identify the destination.DTo synchronize the clock.Check AnswerReveal Answer & ExplanationDiscuss on Board

Q4easyWhat is the primary purpose of Flow Control at the Data Link Layer?ATo encrypt the data frames.BTo compress the frames.CTo route packets across the internet.DTo ensure the sender does not transmit data faster than the receiver can process it.Check AnswerReveal Answer & ExplanationDiscuss on Board
Q5easyCompare Stop-and-Wait and Sliding Window flow control.AStop-and-Wait is used in Gigabit Ethernet.BStop-and-Wait is faster.CSliding Window allows multiple unacknowledged frames to be in transit, making it much more efficient for high-latency links.DSliding Window is used only in hubs.Check AnswerReveal Answer & ExplanationDiscuss on Board

Q7easyWhy is CSMA/CD NOT used in modern Wi-Fi networks?AWireless devices cannot detect collisions while transmitting (the signal strength of their own transmission drowns out incoming signals).BWi-Fi is too slow for collision detection.CWi-Fi uses a central server for all traffic.DWireless signals don't collide.Check AnswerReveal Answer & ExplanationDiscuss on Board

Q9easyIf a system uses 1-bit parity for error detection, what is the limitation?AIt can only detect an odd number of bit errors; it cannot detect an even number of bit errors.BIt detects all errors but can't fix them.CIt makes the data transfer 2x slower.DIt can detect any number of errors.Check AnswerReveal Answer & ExplanationDiscuss on Board
