How is the bandwidth of a network measured?

Frequency of waves. Higher frequency means higher bandwidth.

Bitrate. Higher bitrate means higher bandwidth.

Voltage. Higher voltage means higher bandwidth.

Light. More light means higher bandwidth.

What is the bitrate of a system?

The amount of data (in bits) that can be sent in a fixed amount of time

The number of bits used to encode a single letter

The strength of the network connection

The distance that data needs to travel in a network

What is the latency of a system?

The time it takes for a bit to travel from sender to receiver

The amount of data (in bits) that can be transmitted at any given time

The distance that data needs to travel in a network

The strength of the network connection

What is the Internet Protocol (IP)?

A protocol that defines the structure of an Internet address and assigns a unique address to every device on the Internet

A set of rules describing what behavior is acceptable on the Internet

A law that says that the Internet is for everyone

An agreement that sets a limit on the number of computers than can be on the Internet at any given time

IP addresses are hierarchical. This means:

The information in an IP address goes from broad to specific.

Addresses can be expressed in 32 bits.

Protocols are used to standardize communication between machines.

Only certain machines employ IP addresses to send and receive data.

What is the function of the Domain Name System (DNS)?

To translate domain names into IP addresses

To sell website names to web developers

To make sure that each IP address has only one corresponding domain name

To assign a unique domain name to every computer

What does redundancy mean in the context of Internet routing?

Multiple paths exist between any two points

For any two points on the Internet, there exists only one path between them

Data sent over the Internet is sent to the router with the lowest cost.

If a single router on a network breaks, the entire network fails.

Which of the following is a benefit of the fault-tolerant nature of Internet routing?

The ability to provide data transmission even when some connections between routers have failed

The ability to use a hierarchical naming system to avoid naming conflicts

The ability to resolve errors in domain name system (DNS) lookups

The ability to use multiple protocols such as hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP), Internet protocol (IP), and simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) to transfer data.

What information is contained in a packet?

The entirety of a digital message, and metadata about the message, including where it came from and where it is going.

The entirety of a digital message

A small part of a digital message.

A small part of a digital message, and metadata about the message, including where it came from and where it is going.

Which of the following protocols allows for sending multiple packets between two computers by checking that all packets arrived and that they can be put back together in the proper order?

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)

HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS)

Which of the following statements about Internet Protocols is true?

TCP/IP, DNS, Routing, all work together to send packets over the internet

HTTP makes sure the information inside the packets can be understood

HTTP/IP and Routing work together to send packets over the internet

TCP and DNS make sure the information inside the packets can be understood

What is the purpose of packet metadata?

Metadata helps route the data to the correct destination, and helps piece the data together at the destination

Metadata contains information about the protocols a specific computer uses to create and send packets.

Metadata helps humans understand what type of data they are receiving over a network

Metadata helps calculate the best route for a packet to take to its destination

Which of the following does not demonstrate a harmful consequence of increased anonymity on the Internet?

Users can avoid targeted discrimination in an online forum.

People can create avatars to interact inappropriately with other users in a forum.

People can post hate speech in video comments without consequences.

People can easily create fake profiles to impersonate others online.

What is the purpose of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act?

To criminalize the act of circumventing, or getting around, access controls that block access to copyrighted works.

To make all content on the Internet free for everyone to use.

To allow for open source software on the Internet.

To criminalize plagiarism on the Internet.

A user enters a Web address in a browser, and a request for a file is sent to a Web server. Which of the following best describes how the file is sent back to the user?

The file is broken into packets and sent over a network. The packets must be reassembled by the user's computer when they are received. If any packets are missing, the browser re-requests the missing packets.

The file is broken into packets and sent over a network. The user's browser must request each packet, in order, until all packets are received.

The server attempts to connect directly to the user's computer. If the connection is successful, the entire file is sent at once. If the connection is unsuccessful, an error message is sent to the user.

The server repeatedly attempts to connect directly to the user's computer until a connection is made. Once the connection is made, the entire file is sent.

Which of the following is a benefit of the fault-tolerant nature of Internet routing?

The ability to provide data transmission even when some connections between routers have failed

The ability to use a hierarchical naming system to avoid naming conflicts

The ability to resolve errors in domain name system (DNS) lookups

The ability to use multiple protocols such as hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP), Internet protocol (IP), and simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) to transfer data.

Two computers are built by different manufacturers. One is running a Web server and the other is running a Web browser. Which of the following best describes whether these two computers can communicate with each other across the Internet?

The computers can communicate directly because Internet communication uses standard protocols that are used by all computers on the Internet.

The computers cannot communicate, because different manufacturers use different communication protocols.

The computers can communicate, but additional hardware is needed to convert data packets from one computer's protocol to the other computer's protocol.

The computers can communicate directly only if the messages consist of text. Other formats cannot be interpreted across computers.

A city government is attempting to reduce the digital divide between groups with differing access to computing and the Internet. Which of the following actions is least likely to be effective in this purpose?

Putting helpful tips for operating computers on the city government website

Holding basic computer classes at community centers

Providing free wireless Internet connections at locations in low-income neighborhoods

Requiring that every school and library have assistive devices that allow people with disabilities to access computer resources

An IPv4 address has 32 bits, so there are 232 (over 4 billion) possible IPv4 addresses. Since the Internet is gaining devices quickly, we will soon surpass 232 unique devices on the Internet. In anticipation of all the new Internet devices, we are in the process of switching to IPv6, which uses 128 bits for a single address. That's 96 extra bits to represent one address! Which of the following statements correctly describes how many more addresses will be possible to represent by switching from IPv4 to IPv6?

296 more addresses can be represented with IPv6

96 more addresses can be represented with IPv6

96 times as many addresses can be represented with IPv6

296 times as many addresses can be represented with IPv6
