 QUESTION 1
A) Explain the concept of a layered task with respect to the TCP model.
We always use the concept of layers in our daily life. As an example, let us consider two friends
who communicate through postal email. The process of sending a letter to a friend would be
complex if there were no services available from the post office.

The letter is written, put in an Higher layers The letter is picked up,
envelope and dropped in a removed from the envelop and
mailbox. read

carrier by the post office carrier to the post office

Parcel is carried from source to destination

B) What is an UnknownHostException.
This is a subclass of IOException, so it is a checked exception. It emerges when you are trying to
connect to a remote host using its host name, but the IP address of that Host cannot be resolved.

C) What is a stream?
A stream is a sequence of objects that supports various methods which can be pipelined to produce
the desired results.

D) Explain in your own words, your understanding of persistence objects and serialized
objects.
When we implement persistence objects, we could simply require all classes of persistence objects
to provide a member function that inserts each member variable into a given file stream ( this
process is done by serialized objects).
class persistent
{
public void serialized(fstream);
}
Persistent objects are class used by an entity class. They do not have indices but instead are stored
or retrieved when an entity class makes direct use of them.
Serialized objects they convert state of objects into a byte stream in a way that the byte stream can
be reverted back into a copy of the objects.

E) Why threads are important in network programming.

 A thread is a flow of execution through the process code
 Threads provide a way to improve application performance through parallelism
 It also improves the performance of operating system

 All threads within a process share same global memory

 F) What do you understand by synchronisation
 Synchronization in java is the capability to control the access of multiple threads to any
shared resource.
 Synchronisation is used mainly to prevent thread interference and to prevent consistency
problem.
 We have two types of synchronisation which are process synchronization and thread
synchronization.
 We also have two types of thread synchronization which are mutual exclusion and inter-
thread communication.
 Synchronisation is built around an entity known as the lock or monitor. Every object has a
lock associated with it. By convention a thread that needs consistent access to an object’s
field has to acquire the object’s lock before accessing them, and then release the lock when
it’s done with them.

G) Build a SimpleSleepThread class by implementing Runnable. Create an object Thread

and start the thread. In run method, let the thread sleeps for 10000ms. Display strings
before and after the thread sleeps. Is there any noticeable time difference between the
two strings displayed? Why and why not.
class SimpleSleepThread implements Runnable{
public void run(){
system.out.println(“Thread is now sleeping”);
for(I = 1; i<=5; i++){
try{
Thread.sleep(10000);
}
Catch (interrupted Exception e) system.out.println(e);
}
system.out.println(“Thread is running….”, +i);
}
}
public static void main( string[] args){
ThreadSleep ts = new ThreadSleep();
Thread s = new Thread(ts);
s.start();
system.out.println(“Thread ends…..”);
}
}

QUESTION 2
Write a GUI programme called MyBrowserExplorer
Your interface should contain at least one text control to enter the URL to visit and a GO
button.
You should also provide a large text area control that displays the contents of the url that is
visited.

Your code should make use of the URL class and the openstream() method to read
