Which protocol can be used by Router1 to determine the IP address of Router2 when they are directly connected and only layer 2 connectivity exist between them?

Answer = ARPMeaning of ARP - "Address Resolution Protocol", is used to map IP Network addresses to the hardware (Media Access Control sub layer) addresses used by the data link protocol. The ARP protocol operates between the network layer and the data link layer in the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model.

What is tcp or ip in e - commerce?

networks and the internet are governed by protocols. protocols are a set of rules that determine how two components communicate with one another over a network. types of protocols: TCP/IP (transmission control protocol/internet protocol) is the basic communication language or protocol of the internet.it is the common name for more than 100 protocols used to connect computers and networks. the actual name tcp/ip comes from 2 important protocols: -transmission control protocol -internet protocol

What are the two protocols used in the transport layer?

TCP and UDP Correct: UDP (User Data-gram Protocol) is a communications protocol that offers a limited amount of service when messages are exchanged between computers in a network that uses the Internet Protocol. UDP provides two services not provided by the IP layer. It provides port numbers to help distinguish different user requests and, optionally, a checksum capability to verify that the data arrived intact. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a set of rules (protocol) used along with the Internet Protocol (IP) to send data in the form of message units between computers over the Internet. While IP takes care of handling the actual delivery of the data, TCP takes care of keeping track of the individual units of data (called packets) that a message is divided into for efficient routing through the Internet. (TCP/IP) is the know definition by most.


Does frame relay operate at layer 3 of the OSI model?

No. Frame Relay is not operating at Layer 3. Frame Relay is strictly a Layer 2 protocol suite, whereas X.25 provides services at Layer 3 (the network layer) as well. This enables Frame Relay to offer higher performance and greater transmission efficiency.
