Network protocols are a set of
rules and standards
that define how data is transmitted between devices on a
network
TCP/IP is a common network protocol used for internet communication.
True
Match the protocol with its purpose:
HTTP ↔️ Defines how web browsers and servers communicate
SMTP ↔️ Enables email transmission between servers
FTP ↔️ Allows file transfer between computers
Network protocols ensure
devices
can reliably exchange information.
True
Order the functions handled by network protocols:
1️⃣ Data Formatting
2️⃣ Data Timing
3️⃣ Sequencing
4️⃣ Error Checking
The TCP/IP protocol suite is essential for fundamental internet
communication
HTTP defines how web browsers and servers communicate to display
web pages
.
True
Arrange the delivery characteristics of TCP packets:
1️⃣ Ordered
UDP is more efficient than TCP for applications that require reliable and ordered data delivery.
False
TCP is a connection-oriented protocol that establishes a reliable connection before data
transfer
What is the primary advantage of UDP over TCP?
Efficiency for time-sensitive data
HTTP enables web browsing by defining how web browsers and
servers
communicate.
What is the purpose of error checking in network protocols?
Detect and correct errors
Sequencing in network protocols guarantees data integrity by arranging
packets
in the correct order.
True
Which protocol is responsible for defining a suite of networking protocols that enable internet communication?
TCP/IP
UDP is better suited for applications that require reliable and ordered data delivery.
False
HTTPS is a secure version of HTTP that encrypts the communication between the client and
server
.
What does HTTPS stand for?
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure
FTP is primarily used for transferring files between computers over a network.
True
Arrange the layers of the TCP/IP model in the correct order.
1️⃣ Application
2️⃣ Transport
3️⃣ Internet
4️⃣ Network Access
The Internet layer in the TCP/IP model uses the
IP
protocol for logical addressing and routing.
Data timing in network protocols manages the exchange of data to prevent collisions and
delays
The TCP/IP protocol suite is the fundamental protocol suite for internet
communication
Network protocols rely on agreed-upon formatting, timing, sequencing, and
error checking
procedures.
True
Match the protocol with its purpose:
FTP ↔️ Facilitates file transfer between computers
HTTP ↔️ Defines how web browsers and servers communicate
SMTP
is used for sending email messages between servers.
True
Data formatting in network protocols transforms data into a suitable format for
transmission
Error checking in network protocols detects and corrects
transmission errors
.
True
Match the protocol with its purpose:
TCP/IP ↔️ Fundamental protocol suite for internet communication
FTP ↔️ Allows file transfer between computers
TCP is a
connection-oriented
protocol, while UDP is a
connectionless
protocol.
oriented
TCP is used for applications like web browsing and file
transfer
What does TCP stand for?
Transmission Control Protocol
UDP ensures all data is delivered correctly through error checking and retransmission.
False
Match the protocol with its purpose:
HTTP ↔️ Enables web browsing
HTTPS ↔️ Provides secure web communication
FTP ↔️ Facilitates file transfers
HTTPS encrypts the communication between the client and server to protect
sensitive
data.
True
Data formatting in network protocols transforms data into a suitable format for
transmission
.
TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, while UDP is a connectionless
protocol
.
What is the primary purpose of HTTP?
Web browsing
FTP allows users to manage files on remote servers, such as uploading and downloading them.
True
HTTPS is a secure version of HTTP that encrypts the communication between the
client
and server.
