Networking and protocols interview questions By admin | December 7, 2003 Q: What are the seven layers of the OSI model? A: The layers are physical, data link, network, transport, session, presentation, and application layers. Q: In the TCP client-servel model, how does the three-way handshake work in opening connection? A: The client first sends a packet with sequence "x" to the server. When the server receives this packet, the server will send back another packet with sequence "y", acknowledging the request of the client. When the client receives the acknowledgement from the server, the client will then send an acknowledge back to the server for acknowledging that sequence "y" has been received. Q: What is the purpose of exchanging beginning sequence numbers during the the connection in the TCP client-server model? A: To ensure that any data lost during data transfer can be retransmitted. Q: How does Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) work? A: ATM works by transmitting all traffic in small, fixed-sized cells. These small, fixedsize cells reduces queuing delay and can be switched quickly. ATM fits into layer 2 of the OSI model and provides functions for framing and error correction. At the port interface, ATM switches convert cells into frames, and vice versa. ATM provides Quality of Service and traffic shaping. Q: Given a Class B Network with subnet mask of 255.255.248.0 and a packet addressed to 130.40.32.16, what is the subnet address? A: Take the 2 addresses, write them in binary form, then AND them. The answer is 130.40.32.0

TCP:TCP/IP is just a protocol that allows different nodes on the network/Internet to share resources..and without TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROTOCOL/INTERNET PROTOCOL, different nodes wont understand each other.
To configure it you will just right click on your LAN CONNECTION and click properties.make sure tcp/ip is ticked then click on it then properties....then from there you can assign each computer with an ip address or allow DHCP to do that for you.
TCP/IP is a type of protocols , it used assign a uniqu address to a pc, which allow the user to share its resource in the network, means it connect the pc to another pc to share data and resources.

Contact bharti nimje TCP/IP is protocol which enable to communicate between more than one computer over a network.TCP/IP (TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROTOCOL/INTER PROTOCOL).

Contact RACHIN KUMAR TCP is the protocol which works at the Transmission Layer of OSI Model which uses Port No 80. IP is the protocol which works at the network layer of OSI Model. So, both the end the the protocol should be same in order to make the devices to communicate with each otehr. TCP and UDP both work at the same layer. But the difference is TCP is the Connection Oriented Service where as UDP [User Data Gram Protocol is the Connection Less Service]
