Example test questions:
- Consider sending a packet from a source host to a destination host over a fixed route. List the delay components in the end-to-end delay. Which of these delays are constant and which are variable?
- What is a socket? How applications are uniquely identified on a host machine?
- Describe, with the aid of a suitable diagram, the functionalities of each layer in the TCP/IP protocol suite. Also name the PDUs at every layer!
- Describe the main steps of the routing procedure when host A sends a packet to host B via router R!
- Sketch the Ethernet header! Shortly explain the function of each field!
Test results and final grades:
- Results are uploaded into the Neptun system
