Question 4
2

What is the difference between network layer

delivery and transport layer delivery?
- The transport layer is responsible or process to
process delivery of the entire message
- The network layer oversees host-to-host delivery of
individual; packets

Question 5
3

What is a peer-to-peer process?

Peer-to-peer process are process on two or more
devices communicating at a same layer

Question 6
4

How does information gets passed from one layer

to the next in the internet model?
Each layer calls upon the services of the layer just
below it using interface between each pair of adjacent
layers

Question 7
5

What are headers and trailers, and how do they get

added and removed?
Headers and trailers re control data added at beginning and
the end of each data unit at each layer and removed at the
corresponding layers of the receiver.
They provide source and destination address, synchronization
points, information for error detection etc.

Question 12
6

What is the difference between a port address, a

logical address and a physical address?
The physical address is the local address of a node, it's used
by the data link layer to deliver data from one node to
another within the same network
The logical address defines the sender and receive at the
network layer and is used to deliver messages across multiple
networks
The port address (service-point) identifies the application
process on the station

In figure 2.22 computer A sends a message to computer D via

LAN1, router R1, and LAN2, show the contents of the packets
and frames at the network and data link layer for each hop
interface

Question 21
13

In figure 2.22, assume that the communication is between a

process running at computer A with port address i and a
process running at computer D with port address j . Show the
contents of packets and frames at the network, data link, and
transport layer for each hop.
