OSI Pop Quiz

1) TCP is a connection-oriented protocol. An advantage of operating in a connection-oriented environment is that a connection is established between both ends before the transfer of information can begin. What is a disadvantage of using a connection-oriented protocol such as TCP?
A. Packet acknowledgement may add overhead.
B. Packets are not tagged with sequence numbers.
C. Loss or duplication of data packets is more likely to occur.
D. The application layer must assume responsibility for correct sequencing of the data packets.

2) Which layer of the OSI model ensures reliable end-to-end delivery of data?
A. Application
B. Presentation
C. Session
D. Transport
E. Network

3) What is the correct order of PDUs in data encapsulation?
A. Data, Frame, Packet, Segment, Bit
B. Data, Frame, Segment, Packet, Bit
C. Data, Packet, Frame, Segment, Bit
D. Data, Packet, Segment, Frame, Bit
E. Data, Segment, Frame, Packet, Bit
F. Data, Segment, Packet, Frame, Bit

4) What are the advantages of using the OSI layered network model? (Choose three.)
A. Allows multiple-vendor development through standardization of network components.
B. Creates a list of communication rules that all companies must implement to get onto the Internet.
C. Allows various types of network hardware and software to communicate.
D. Prevents changes in one layer from affecting other layers, so it does not hamper development.
E. Allows companies to develop proprietary interfaces
