Ans: Routing is a process of taking data from one device and sending it to another

Device on a different network. Every data packet has two addresses, destination

Address and source address.

40. What is Routing Table?

Ans: The router receives the packets, checks the routing table to see if it has an entry for the destination
address. A routing table is used by routers to determine the path to the destination network. If the entry
exists for the destination address, the router forwards the packet out of the appropriate interface port. If
the router doesn’t find the entry, it discards the packet.

How client and server communicate with each other? Ans: Clients and servers exchange messages in a
request-response messaging pattern.

Explain Components of a Communication System.

Ans: Components of a Communication System

(2 times)

A communication system is used to transfer data from one point to other. Theprocess of data
transmission has well defined steps and they are executed in a particular sequence. The main
components of communication system are discus below:

Sender

Sender is a device that initiates the communication process. It sends messages consisting of text,
numbers, pictures etc. It is also called source or transmitter. Normally, computer is used as a sender in a
communicationsystem.

Receiver

Receiver is a device that receives a message. It is also called sink. The receiver can be a

Computer, printer or another device. The receiver must be capable of accepting a

Message

Message

Message is the data or information to be communicated. It may consist of text,

Numbers, pictures, sound, video or any combination of these In a data communication system, a
message is sent in the form of packets. Each message has two parts, ie, payload and control information.
Payload is the actual contents of a message whereas the control information contains information about
the sender and the receiver. Control information is also called header of a message. It is just like writing a
letter where we write a letter along with the information about its sender and receiver. In this example,
your letter is the payload. It requires the control information in order to

Dispatch and get a reply Protocol

A protocol is a formal agreement between two parties. A network protocol is a formal arrangement
between two computers to send and receive information.. Very specifically, a network protocol defines a
set of rules and procedures for communication between a sender and a receiver.

Transmission Medium

Medium is the physical path that connects a sender and a receiver. It is used to transmit data. The
medium can be a copper wire, a fibre optic cable, microwaves etc. It is also called a communication
channel. Figure shows that a message is transmitted from a

Sender to a receiver through some transmission medium. A device may use multiple channels at the
same time. For example, if a cell phone is connected with the Internet, it uses a data channel
(3G/4G/LTE) for using the Internet services, and a voice channel for calling purpose.

Postal System

In writing a letter, you consider only writing propermessage without concerning about the names of the
post office staff who will handle the envelope. Moreover, you do not need to know the details of the
mail delivery system. You simply put it in an envelope and write the street address.

You write sender and receiver information over the envelope and putit in the letter box. If the address is
Incomplete, you may get your letter back. If everything is fine, you simply trust on the postal system. The
name of the specific person is

The letter.

Layered Network While chatting you are concerned only about the messages without bothering about
the kind of network, i.e., wireless or wired. This is called application layer where you type a message and
send on the

Network. The address of the receiving device is provided in the form of header before message content.

Transport layer establishes connection between a client and a server. It tries to send message but if there
is some errorlike your computer is disconnected from the network then informs the application program.
If the network is fine, then the application trusts the transport layer that the message mentioned who
can open and read will reach at its destination

At this stage, port number is added with message header for indication of specific application at
destination. A port number is used to identify the application which can accept a message.

A letter Is moved to other city (Islamabad in this example) by road or air.

A program running on the network layer moves the data to the other network. So, a chat message is
transferred to other Wi-Fi router of your friend from where it is delivered to your friend and he/she can
see it on screen.
Handling of letters is same either if they are letters with photographs, Eid card, or containing text, etc.
Bikes or vans may carry your letter from letterbox to general post

Office.

For your letter delivery, there is usage of roads, train tracks and may be airlines.

A network handles all messages in the same way either if they are emails, pictures, or voice messages
etc Data link layer sends a message to the

Server connected with sender. If you are

Chatting at home with a Wi-Fi connection,

Then the data link layer sends message

From your computer to the Wi-Fi router. Physical layer is about the physical medium used in
communication, like cabling etc.

Each layer of TCP/IP model has its own protocol(s). Every protocol is designed to perform some specific
task. Some of the most widely used application layerprotocols are discussed below FTP

File Transfer Protocol is the standard TCP/IP protocolwhich is used for the purpose of transferring files
from one computer to another. For example, if we want to transfer a document file to a remote
computer, then we can use this protocol. HTTP

S. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is a standard protocol to transmit emails. Write a note on Network
Topologies. (2 times) Topology of a network is a geometric representation of the relationship among the
interconnected devices. The four basic network topologies are bus. Star, ring and mesh.

(2 times)

BUS TOPOLOGY A bus topology connects all devices of the network through a single common cable
having exactly two end points as shown is Figure. This cable is called backbone of the topology Bus
topology offers a simple way to connect devices. All of the devices of the network are connected to a
common transmission medium which has exactly two endpoints. In this simple form of networking,
failure of any single device does not affect other devices connected with the cable. However, if there is
some problem in the shared communication cable, then all other devices can stop functioning.

STAR TOPOLOGY

(2 times)

A star topology connects all devices using point to point connections via cables to a central point as
shown in Figure. The central point is known as a Hub or switch. The central device controls all the traffic.
Therefore, devices can transfer data to each other only through the central point. It is easy to install and
reconfigure. Star topology consumes more cable than the bus topology, however, if there is some
problem in a cable, then only the respective computer gets disconnected form the network. On the
other hand, if there is some problem in the Hub or switch, then whole network becomes dead.
RING TOPOLOGY

(2 times)

A ring topology connects a computer with exactly two other computers forming a ring of computers as
shown in Figure. A computer can send data to its immediate neighbor. A ring can be unidirectional or
bidirectional. In a unidirectional ring topology, data is sent either clockwise or anticlockwise. In a
bidirectional ring topology, data can travel in any direction. Upon receiving data, a computer may pass
data to its next neighbor. In this way, data reaches the desired destination. A failure of connection
between two computers may down the whole network. Unlike star topology, it does not require a
central device to manage the connectivity between the devices.

. Mesh topology connects all devices with each other through a direct link as shown in Figure. As
compared to ring topology, data may reach its destination quickly. The mesh topology is an expensive
topology in terms of cable cost as it uses a lengthy cable to connect computers as compared to the cable
used in other topologies. However, the mesh topology is more reliable as it offers point-to-point
connection. It is also considered more secure as data travels only between a sender and a receiver.
