Consider the following statements regarding the OSI model: 1. Application layer provides the control structure for communication between applications; establishes, manages and terminates connections between cooperating applications. 2. 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?

Consider the following statements regarding the OSI model: 1. Application layer provides the control structure for communication between applications; establishes, manages and terminates connections between cooperating applications. 2. 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? Correct Answer 2 and 3 only

The correct answer is option 4.

Key Points Statement 1: Application layer provides the control structure for communication between applications; establishes, manages, and terminates connections between cooperating applications.

False, The Session layer provides the control structure for communication between applications; establishes, manages, and terminates connections between cooperating applications.

Statement 2: Data link layer provides for the reliable transfer of information across the physical link.

True, The Data link layer provides for the reliable transfer of information across the physical link by providing flow control, line discipline, and error control.

The Data Link layer provides reliable transit of data across a physical network link. The Data Link layer translates messages from the Network layer into bits for the Physical layer to transmit.

Statement 3: Transport layer provides end-to-end error recovery and flow control of data.

True, The data link layer and Transport layer provides error control and flow control in OSI. The transport layer provides end-to-end error recovery and flow control of data. The transport layer provides a transparent transfer of data between hosts. It is responsible for end-to-end error recovery and flow control. It ensures complete data transfer. 

Hence the correct answer is 2 and 3 only.

The Weberian model of bureaucracy has been criticised from a variety of stand points.
Consider the following points in this regard:
1. The Weberian model appears to be a 'machine theory' and a closed system model taking little account of organisational interactions with the environment.
2. The structural features of bureaucracy as laid down by Weber might be suitable for routine and repetitive tasks but these would produce dysfunctional consequences in terms of human behaviour if the jobs would involve innovation and creativity.
3. Weberian model has not been found to respond adequately to the tasks of socioeconomic transformation in the developing countries. These tasks require quick changes whereas the capacity of the Weberian model for adaptation to change is rather slow.
4. Weber's model is confined to the study of formal bureaucratic structure and fails to take notice of the informal structure of bureauracy such as informal relations, informal norms and values, an informal power hierarchy and informal power struggles.

A Windows 2000 Server computer named server2 runs numerous 32bit applications and two 16bit applications. Users start the 16bit applications by running APP1.EXE for one application and APP2.EXE for another application. The 16bit applications are configured to run in the separate memory space. You want to create a performance base like chart in the system monitor for all the applications on server2. You add all of 32bit applications and now you want to add two 16bit applications. What should you do?

Why does the data communication industry use the layered OSI reference model?
1. It divides the network communication process into smaller and simpler components, thus aiding component development, design, and troubleshooting.
2. It enables equipment from different vendors to use the same electronic components, thus saving research and development funds.
3. It supports the evolution of multiple competing standards and thus provides business opportunities for equipment manufacturers.
4. It encourages industry standardization by defining what functions occur at each layer of the model.
