Which encapsulates segment into packets?

TRANSPORT LAYER

The transport layer ensures that messages are delivered error-free, in sequence, and with no losses or duplications. It relieves the higher layer protocols from any concern with the transfer of data between them and their peers.

The size and complexity of a transport protocol depends on the type of service it can get from the network layer. For a reliable network layer with virtual circuit capability, a minimal transport layer is required. If the network layer is unreliable and/or only supports datagrams, the transport protocol should include extensive error detection and recovery.

The transport layer provides:

  • Message segmentation: accepts a message from the (session) layer above it, splits the message into smaller units (if not already small enough), and passes the smaller units down to the network layer. The transport layer at the destination station reassembles the message.
  • Message acknowledgment: provides reliable end-to-end message delivery with acknowledgments.
  • Message traffic control: tells the transmitting station to "back-off" when no message buffers are available.
  • Session multiplexing: multiplexes several message streams, or sessions onto one logical link and keeps track of which messages belong to which sessions (see session layer).

Typically, the transport layer can accept relatively large messages, but there are strict message size limits imposed by the network (or lower) layer. Consequently, the transport layer must break up the messages into smaller units, or frames, prepending a header to each frame.

The transport layer header information must then include control information, such as message start and message end flags, to enable the transport layer on the other end to recognize message boundaries. In addition, if the lower layers do not maintain sequence, the transport header must contain sequence information to enable the transport layer on the receiving end to get the pieces back together in the right order before handing the received message up to the layer above.

Which cable is use for similar device?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A crossover cable is necessary for two similar devices to talk to each other without the use of an intervening network connectivity device because the transmit and receive signals must be crossed between the two devices.

This is what a hub or switch would normally do. If a normal, straight through cable were to be used it would connect the transmit signal to the transmit signal on the other device, which is equivalent to two people talking to each other at the same time with no way to listen to what they are saying.

With a crossover cable the transmit signal on one end is connected to the receive signal on the other end so the two devices can talk and listen to each other.

What is a computer system's organization?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Storing and managing information is an important task of the computer system. Since the information plays an important role in a computer system, its logical and physical characteristics are also a matter of interest as these effect the efficiency of programs using it.

Computer system are comprised of input devices, output devices, processing devices, and storage devices. Input devices would include a keyboard, mouse, microphone, sound card (if it uses a microphone), and read-only storage devices. Output devices would include the video card, monitor, sound card, and speakers. Processing devices would include the CPU, and the FPU. The video and sound cards could be considered processing devices, since they also process images, video, and sound. Storage devices would include ROM, RAM, memory sticks, memory cards, the hard drive, and CD/DVD burners.

Which events will cause the VTP revision number on a VTP server to change?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Adding, modifying, or removing a VLAN from the VTP server will cause the revision number to change. Another possible way is if a Client gets a higher revision number than the server. If this happens the server will take take the revision number and the VLAN information from the client and advertise the information to everyone in the VTP domain.

What are the two protocols used in the transport layer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.
