Consider the following statements regarding the TCP/IP protocol: 1. TELNET is an application of TCP protocol. 2. SMTP provides a basic electronic mail facility and makes use of TCP to send message to an SMTP module on another host. 3. The Internet Protocol is used at internet layer to provide the routing function across multiple network. Which of the above statements are correct ? Correct Answer 2 and 3 only

The correct answer is option 4.

Key PointsStatement 1: TELNET is an application of TCP protocol.

False, TELNET is an application protocol that allows a user at one site to access another user at a remote system. This is done as though the remote system were locally attached. TELNET uses the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to connect to a remote system. TELNET uses TCP as an application layer Protocol.

Statement 2: SMTP provides a basic electronic mail facility and makes use of TCP to send messages to an SMTP module on another host.

True, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is an application layer protocol that uses TCP as the transport protocol. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol uses TCP port no. 25.

Statement 3: The Internet Protocol is used at the internet layer to provide the routing function across multiple networks.

True, The Internet Protocol (IP) is responsible for routing data by indicating where data packets come from and what their destination is IP makes network-to-network communications possible. Hence, IP is considered as network layer (layer 3) protocol. 

Hence the correct answer is  2 and 3 only.

Consider a TCP client and TCP server running on two different machines. After completing data transfer, the TCP client calls close to terminate the connection and a FIN segment is sent to the TCP server. Server-side TCP responds by sending an ACK, which is received by the client-side TCP. As per the TCP connection state diagram (RFC 793), in which state does the client-side TCP connection wait for the FIN from the server-side TCP?
Consider the following statements about the routing protocols. Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and Open Shortest Path First (OSPE) in an IPv4 network. I. RIP uses distance vector routing II. RIP packets are sent using UDP III. OSPF packets are sent using TCP IV. OSPF operation is based on link-state routing Which of the statements above are CORRECT?
Consider a computer network using the distance vector routing algorithm in its network layer. The partial topology of the network is as shown below. The objective is to find the shortest-cost path from the router R to routers P and Q. Assume that R does not initially know the shortest routes to P and Q. Assume that R has three neighbouring routers denoted as X, Y, and Z. During one iteration, R measures its distance to its neighbours X, Y, and Z as 3, 2, and 5, respectively. Router R gets routing vectors from its neighbours that indicate that the distance to router P from routers X, Y, and Z are 7, 6, and 5, respectively. The routing vector also indicates that the distance to router Q from routers X, Y, and Z are 4, 6, and 8, respectively. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct with respect to the new routing table of R, after updation during this iteration ? 
Consider the following application layer services: (a) Domain names to IP Address mapping (b) Data Communication over World Wide Web (c) Electronic mail transmission  (d) Retrieve e-mail from a remote server (e) Transfer files from one host to another host Which one of the following order of application layer protocols is correct for the above services?
The network uses TCP/IP as the only network protocol. You configure the remote access server on the network. Some users report that when they connect to the server they receive the following message |" IPX SPX compatible computer deported error 733" The EPP control network protocol for the network is not available. If the users allow the connection to continue they are able to connect to the services that use TCP/IP. You want to prevent this message from being displayed. What should you do?
Consider the following three statements about link state and distance vector routing protocols, for a large network with 500 network nodes and 4000 links. [S1] The computational overhead in link state protocols is higher than in distance vector protocols. [S2] A distance vector protocol (with split horizon) avoids persistent routing loops, but not a link state protocol. [S3] After a topology change, a link state protocol will converge faster than a distance vector protocol. Which one of the following is correct about S1, S2, and S3?
Which statement is true regarding classless routing protocols?

5. RIPv2 supports classless routing.
A message consisting of 2400 bits is to be passed over the Internet. The message is passed to the transport layer which appends a 150-bit header, followed by the network layer which uses a 120-bit header. Network layer packets are transmitted via two networks, each of which uses a 26-bit header. The destination network only accepts up to 900 bits long. The number of bits, including headers delivered to the destination network, is

Data link layer provides for the reliable transfer of information across the physical link. 3. Transport layer provides end-to-end error recovery and flow control of data. Which of the above statements are correct?
