1. Which of the following implement the OSI physical layer?

a) Ethernet
b) Token Ring
c) FDDI
d) all of the above
Answer: (d)
Ethernet, Token Ring, and Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) represent thre
e typical
examples of the OSI Physical layer in practice. The Physical layer (layer one) i
nvolves network
elements like voltage levels, hardware cables and connectors, and distance limit
s.

2.Which of the following is the four causes, or components, of delay in a packet

switched network?
a)Processing, multiplexing, routing, queueing
b)Processing, queueing, transmission, propagation
c)Processing, switching, multiplexing, routing
d)Processing, transmission, switching, bridging
Answer: (b)
The delay components are Processing, queueing, transmission, and propagation. Pr
ocessing delay can be reduced by
faster CPUs, queueing and transmission delay by faster links, and propagation de
lay only by moving content closer to its
user.
3.When a colllision is detected in network using CSMA/CD,------
a. The frame is immediately resent
b. A jam signal is sent by a station
c. The back off value is set to 0
d. The backoff value is decremented by 1
