An autonomous system is a network operated by one organization.
True
An example of an application layer address is www.indiana.edu.
True
Because there is a limit on the length of a frame that the data link layer can transmit from node to node, the transport layer breaks up the message from the application layer into several smaller segments.

Domain Name Servers provide the resolution of application layer addresses to their corresponding network layer address.
True
Part of the function of address resolution is translating the application layer address of the destination into a network layer address.
True
Quality of Service routing is a special type of routing in which different connections are assigned different priorities.
True
Routing is the process of determining the path or route through the network that a particular message will follow from the sender to the recipient.
True
Source port address is the logical address used to identify the application that is sending the data.
True
Subnet masks tell computers what part of an IP address is to be used to determine whether a destination is in the same subnet or in a different subnet.
True
TCP includes a sequence number so that the packets can be reassembled at the destination in the correct order.
True
The Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol is an interior routing protocol originally developed by Cisco.
True
The TCP portion of TCP/IP performs linking to the application layer.
True
The data link layer address is generally encoded in a network card by the card's manufacturer.
True
The most common protocol for dynamic addressing in TCP/IP networks is the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.
True
The transport layer process running on the destination computer, reassembles the fragmented application message before passing it up to the application layer
True
Translating an application layer address to a network layer address and finally to a data link layer address is called address resolution.
True
Which of the following is not a protocol used at the application layer.
UDP
A special type of message that is used when sending the same message to all computers on a specific LAN or subnet is called a:
broadcast message
When TCP/IP translates a network layer address into a data link layer address, it sends a special ____________ to all computers in the subnet.
broadcast message
Dynamic addressing:
can solve many updating headaches for network managers who have large, growing, changing networks
The three fundamental approaches to routing are:
centralized, static routing, and dynamic routing
With QoS routing different __________ are defined, each with different priorities.
classes of service
A TCP three-way handshake is used to establish a ___________ messaging method.
connection-oriented
With _____________ messaging, each UDP segment makes its own way through the network without the use of sequence numbers or acknowledgements.
connectionless
With ________ routing, computers or routers count the number of hops along a route and periodically exchange information on the hop count with their neighbors.
distance vector
Stop-and-wait ARQ uses ___________ type of data flow.
half duplex
A client computer is typically assigned a data link layer address by a:
hardware manufacturer
The newer form of IP, version 6 (IPv6):
has an increased address size from 32 bits to 128 bits
IP:
is utilized during routing functions
A special type of message that is used when sending the same message to a specific group of computers is called a:
multicast message
IP addresses from 224 to 239 belong to Class D and are reserved for
multicasting
TCP/IP:
performs packetizing, as well as routing and addressing functions
Assume that more than one application program is using the same communications line on a particular computer. To be able to decide to which application program a message should be delivered on this computer, TCP/IP relies on the:
port address
An advantage of centralized routing is:
routing decisions are simple
In its simplest form, the __________ has two columns: the first column lists every destination network, while the second column lists the interface on which that computer should send messages, if they are destined for the network in the first column.
routing table
The _____________ is used by a computer to determine how messages will travel through the network.
routing table
