b. Payload

that's what the data in a packet is called. The other parts are "header" and "trailer" depending on if they are at the beginning or end of the packet

Another word for "payload" is "cargo." In various contexts, it can also refer to "freight" or "load," particularly when discussing the transport of goods. In computing and cybersecurity, "payload" can imply the part of a data packet that contains the actual data being transmitted.


The telephone system uses packet-switching technology where as the Internet uses circuit-switching technology?

telephone system uses packet switching because packet switching is reiable. In a packet switching when a packet(some part of total information) is lost then the packet can be retransmitted. But in case of circuit switching if any part of data is lost anytime then total data will be retransmitted. Again circuit swithing is more speedy with compare to packet switching.In order to increase the bit rate (more speed) circuit switch is prefered in Internet.


What is the process of deep packet inspection?

Deep packet inspection is a type of computer network packet filtering. Deep packet inspection examines the data part of a package as it passes through an inspection point. Factors such as viruses, spam, and intrusions determine whether the packet passes or needs to be rerouted to a different destination. Sometimes the packet is rerouted for the collection of statistical purposes.


What are the Exception being the part composite data types?

Well, honey, the exception to being a part of composite data types is being a standalone data type. In simpler terms, if you're not part of a group, you're not a composite data type. It's like being the lone wolf in a pack of wolves - you stand out, whether you like it or not.

When more than one application is running on a server how does IP know which service should be presented an incoming data packet?

When multiple applications are running on a server, the operating system uses ports to distinguish between them. Each application listens on a specific port number, which is part of the transport layer protocol (like TCP or UDP). When an incoming data packet arrives, the server checks the destination port number in the packet's header and forwards the packet to the corresponding application based on that port. This way, the server can effectively route incoming data to the correct service.

What is packet fragmentation?

If a device receives a packet which is larger than it is set to forward, it will split the packet and pad the part packet with zeros. This increases the number of packets transmitted on the next hop.

What is deep packet filtering?

Deep packet filtering first examines the data part (and possibly also the header) of a packet as it passes an inspection point, searching for protocol non-compliance, viruses, spam, intrusions or predefined criteria to decide if the packet can pass or if it needs to be routed to a different destination, or for the purpose of collecting statistical information. This differs from "stateful packet inspection" (shallow filtering) where only the type of traffic and possibly the source and destination are inspected, not the contents of the traffic.
