Subject: Networking Technology 1 Q1. Show whether following statements are true or false with reason. (Any 25) (25) 1. LAN are usually broadcast networks 2. A WAN traffic is usually store-and-forward type 3. The Internet and internet are different entities 4. An interface and a protocol are different and changing one should not have an effect on the other 5. Transport layer is first true end-to-end layer 6. A permanent virtual circuit is same as switched one 7. More harmonics pass by, much better is the reception 8. UTP cables are better noise protected then simple pair of wires 9. Amplifiers create a problem in data transmission thru cables 10. Though speed of Fiber is possible to be increased, current limit is 1 GBPS 11. Physical properties of fiber makes it a better choice than copper for communication 12. Long distance transmission uses HF and VHF band rather than VLF, LF and MF bands 13. When working with microwave transmission, one must keep some part of the channel reserved 14. A garage door opener does not use infrared device, even though it is much cheaper 15. CODEC and MODEM are different devices 16. Predictive encoding provides very good refinement to PCM 17. OC-3c contains more data then OC-3 18. Time division switches has limitations but better then cross bar switches 19. When data link layer decides about the service provided to the Network layer, it is the underlying media which is going to decide the type of service 20. Character count alone is not a good method for framing 21. Bit stuffing is better then character stuffing for framing 22. Error detection is easier then correction 23. Hammings method for solving 1 bit errors can also be used to solve burst error problem 24. If we have a G (x) having factor x+1, we can find out all errors of odd number of bits 25. Double errors can easily be trapped in the CRC method 26. Duplicate frame problem in the case of stop and wait protocol is a serious issue 27. Sliding window protocols are more robust
