2. Answer the following question based on Figure 1 below:

Figure 1

a) What is the type of topology shown in Figure 1 above?

(1 Mark)
Your answer: Hybrid topology

b) How can this topology guarantee the privacy of data transmission?

(1 Mark)
Your answer: Data transmission Travel between connection of varied links and nodes,
communicating with one another for transfer of knowledge.

 c) Assume that you want to connect 9 nodes using the topology. How much cable is
needed to connect them all?
(3 Marks)
Your answer:
9(9−1)
SN =
2

9(8)
=
2

= 36 cable

d) Is it suitable to use this topology for a large network? Justify your answer.
(3 Marks)
Your answer: Yes. Hybrid topologies are most-commonly encountered in larger enterprises
where individual departments have network topologies that different from
another topology in the organization.

3. A student has two web browser windows open to access two web sites. Which layer in the
OSI model that ensures the correct web page is delivered to the correct browser window?
Justify your answer.

4. a) Draw the time-domain plot of a sine wave (for only 1 second) with maximum amplitude
of 15 volts, a frequency of 5, and a phase of 270 degrees.
(4 Marks)
Your answer:

b) Find the bandwidth of a signal that can be decomposed into four sine waves with
frequencies at 0 Hz, 35 Hz, 55 Hz, and 99 Hz. By assuming all maximum amplitude is
the same, draw the frequency spectrum.
