False

4. True/False - The protocol data unit for the Physical layer of the OSI model is payload, or data.

False

5. True/False - The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is considered to be a connectionless or best-effort delivery protocol.

False

7. True/False - The Transport layer header addresses a. receiving application by a number called a MAC address.

False

8. True/False - Servers that have a NOS installed require less memory, processing power, and storage capacity than clients because servers are called on to handle only light processing loads and requests from multiple clients.

False

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)

40. What mail protocol is used to send mail messages to a server?

SMTP

16. What Application layer protocol can be used to monitor and gather information about network traffic and can alert network administrators about adverse conditions that need attention?

SNMP

28. What layer of the OSI model describes how data between applications is synced and recovered if messages don't arrive intact at the receiving application?

Session Layer

34. In considering the responsibilities of each layer of the e OSI model, what statement accurately reflects those of the Presentation layer?

The Presentation layer is responsible for reformatting, compressing, and/or encrypting data in a way that the application on the receiving end can read.

star topology

23. When dealing with static electricity, what kind of failure caused by static discharge shortens the life of a component, & can cause intermittent errors?

upset failure

22. What is a defining characteristic of a bus topology based network?

The message is divided into smaller messages called segments (for TCP) or datagrams (for UDP).

30. What occurs if a network layer protocol is aware that a packet is larger than the maximum size for its network?

The packet will be divided into smaller packets using fragmentation.

6. True/False - In general, an API (application programming interface) call is the method an application uses when it makes a request of the OS.
