ESSAY
1. Explain the difference between portable Internet access and mobile Internet access.
ANS:
Portable Internet access is defined as the ability to easily move your Internet service from one location
to another. The required device is light and compact enough to easily carry. However, you must
remain in one location while you use the service.
Mobile Internet access offers a continuous Internet connection as you are walking or riding in a bus,
car, train, or plane. It is very similar in concept to cellular phone service that allows you to move freely
within the coverage area as it seamlessly hands off your signal from one tower to the next. Mobile
Internet access includes Wi-Fi, mobile WiMAX, and cellular broadband service.
PTS: 1 REF: 321 TOP: Critical Thinking
2. Explain what VoIP is and how it works.
ANS:
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), or Voice over IP, is a technology in which a broadband Internet
connection is used to place telephone calls instead of the regular phone system. It is based on SIP
(Session Initiation Protocol), so VoIP software is sometimes referred to as a SIP client. The earliest
VoIP connections were computer-to-computer connections. Both the person initiating the call and the
person receiving the call had to have computers with microphones and headsets or speakers. You
could only call people who were using the same VoIP software and who happened to be online when
you wanted to call them. These early VoIP systems worked more like instant messaging with voice
than a traditional phone call. You can still use VoIP to make calls from one computer to another, but
today’s VoIP systems allow you to use a standard telephone handset to make or receive calls. They
also allow you to receive calls from land line telephones and to place calls to these telephones.
Today’s VoIP systems convert voice communications to data packets. An IP address is attached to
each packet. If you are calling a friend with computer-based VoIP, for example, your friend’s IP
address will be attached to the packets. If you are calling a land line or other destination without its
own IP address, your VoIP packets will carry an IP address of a service that can route your packets to
their destination using land lines where necessary.
PTS: 1 REF: 331-332 TOP: Critical Thinking
3. Explain what BitTorrent is and how it works.
ANS:
BitTorrent is a file sharing protocol that distributes the role of file server across a collection of
dispersed computers. BitTorrent is, in some sense, an offshoot of grid computing concepts, in which an
ad-hoc collection of personal computers located anywhere on the Internet can cooperate to complete a
task normally handled by monolithic servers or supercomputers.
A BitTorrent network is designed to reduce the bandwidth bottleneck that occurs when many people
attempt to download the same very large file, such as a feature-length film, application software, or an
interactive 3-D computer game.
Suppose that 100 computers request a film at about the same time. A server breaks the movie file into
pieces and begins to download those pieces to the first computer that requested the movie. As more
computers request the file, they become part of a “swarm” that uses peer-to-peer technology to
exchange file pieces with each other. After the server has downloaded all the file pieces to the swarm,
its job is complete and it can service other requests. The swarm continues to exchange file pieces until
every computer in the swarm has the entire file.
