Section A
Question 1: 10 marks
1. Define the terms:
a. network programming: involves writing computer programs that enable processes to
communicate with each other across a computer network
b. socket: abstract concept and not an element of computer hardware.
c. multiplexing: handling of multiple connections simultaneously by a
single entity
d. protocol: rules governing the communication between devices 4mrks
2. Give the full meaning of the following:
a. HTTP: HyperText Transfer Protocol
b. FTP: File Transfer Protocol
c. RIP: Routing Information Protocol
d. OSPF: Open Shortest Path First
e. BGP: Border Gateway Protocol
f. URI: Uniform Resource Identifier
g. ICANN: Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers
h. GUI: Graphical User Interface 4mrks
3. What is the difference between TCP and UDP? TCP is connection oriented while UDP is
connectionless 2mrks
4. What is the structure of an URL using BNF notation? 2mrks
<protocol>://<hostname>[:<port>][/<pathname>][/<filename>[#<section>]]
5. What are the key steps in reading writing to sockets? Network server programs are often
multithreaded. Explain what this means and why it is true.

Answer: A multi-threaded server creates a new thread to handle each client connection that it
accepts. A server program is generally designed to process connection requests from many clients.
It runs in an infinite loop in which it accepts a connection request and processes it. If the
processing takes a significant amount of time, it's not a good idea to make the other clients wait
while the current client is processed. The solution is for the server to make a new thread to handle
each client connection. The server can continue to accept other client connections even while the
first client is being serviced.

6. What is the used of try and catch in java programming? Handle exception. Try capture the
exception and catch define the processes to perform in case the exception is appear while
running the program 3mrks
