Hypertext Transfer Protocol

The _________ layer is responsible for routing of messages from the sender to the final destination.

network

A(n) _____________ is a set of rules that determine what a layer would do and provides a clearly defined set of messages that software at the layer needs to understand.

protocol

Which is not a function of the physical layer:

providing error-free transmission fo data

With a client-based network, one fundamental problem is that:

the clients each must store all the data

How are the application architecture functions split up in a client-server network?

the data storage and data access logic are on the client, while the presentation logic are on the server

Which layer of the OSI model is responsible for ensuring that all packets sent are received by the destination station by dealing with end-to-end issues?

transport Layer

The most commonly used e-mail standard is:

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol

Which of the following is not an application layer standard?

T1

A _____________ is the input-output hardware device at the user's end of a communication circuit.

Client

In a ___________ architecture, computers are both client and server, thus sharing the work.

Client-server

With the two-tier client-server architecture, the client is responsible for the ________ logic and the server is responsible for the ________ logic.

Data access; presentation

Which standards body is responsible for the development of local area network (LAN) standards?

IEEE

The network layer of the Internet model uses the _____________ protocol to route messages though the network.

IP

The acronym, MIME, refers to:

Multimedia Internet Mime Extension

Which of the following is not true about de facto standards?

They never evolve into de juro standards.

A local area network is:

a group of personal computers or terminals located in the same general area and connected by a common cable (communication circuit) so they can exchange information.

A "thin client" architecture approach

always is a two-tier network architecture

In which layer of the Internet model would the HTTP standard be used?

application

Which of the following is not a general function by any application program?

application access storage

Which of the following is not true about a server?

can only perform one function on a network

Client-server architectures:

cannot connect computers that use different hardware

The ________________ cloud deployment model provides the highest levels of control, privacy and security

community

Which of the following is not a property of a WAN:

connects a group of computers in a small geographic area such as room, floor, building or campus

In the three tier architecture the software on the client computer is responsible for____________.

data access logic

______________, or the algorithms or business logic programmed into the application, can be simple or complex depending on the application.

data storage

The primary reason for networking standards is to:

ensure that hardware and software produced by different vendors can work together

With ______________, the cloud provider manages the hardware including servers, storage, and networking components. The organization is responsible for all the software, including operating system (and virtualization software), database software, and its applications and data.

hardware clouds

Which of the following is a term used to group together the physical and data link layers?

hardware layers

Each server on a network that needs to act as a web server needs an application layer software package called a (n) ______________.

none of the above

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol):

permits an e-mail message to remain stored on the mail server even after they have been read by a client computer

A "thick client" architecture approach:

places all or almost all of the application logic on the client

A(n) __________ is the way in which the functions of the application layer software are spread among the clients and servers in the network.

response status architecture

In the Internet model, the application layer corresponds to the ________, layer(s) s of the OSI model

session, presentation, and application

The function of the file server is to

store data and software programs that can be used by client computers on the network.

One underlying problem with a host-based network is that:

the server is the one point of control which simplifies security

Which layer of the OSI model is responsible for ensuring flow control so that the destination station does not receive more packets that it can process at any given time?

transport

An HTTP response status code of 404 means:

your browser is incompatible with the Web server software.
