Q. Switching that implements flow control at the packet level,is

View solution

Q. The interconnection of multiple networks is called

View solution

Q. Buffering of blocked packets can be done using first in, first out (FIFO) or circular queues, which can be implemented as

View solution

Q. Notifying the sender to stop sending packets when the buffer becomes full and to resume later once it has room for more packets, the stated technique is known as

View solution

Q. The passive and active components make up what is referred to as the network

Q. Listening to detect collisions is called

View solution

Q. Adding a minimum of logk N ? 1 extra switch stages to the MIN in such a way that they mirror the original topology, the resulting network is

View solution

Q. When two nodes send at the same time, then the occuring problem is known as

View solution

Q. To allow full access, either the physical links must be duplicated or the logical buffers associated with each link must be duplicated, resulting in

View solution

Q. When buffers become full, link-level flow control provides feedback that prevents the transmission of additional packets, is known as

View solution

Q. Networks that drop packets are sometimes referred to as

View solution

Q. Every network that interconnects more than two devices also requires some mechanism to deliver each packet to the correct destination, the associated function is referred to as

View solution

Q. All the nodes in each dimension form a linear array, in the

Q. Packets belonging to the same message can be distinguished from others by including a

View solution

Q. If the receiving overhead is greater than the sending overhead and the receiver cannot process incoming packets fast enough, then it is called a

View solution

Q. In the network, when ports remain free at the other side of the network but can be used for later expansion of the network to larger sizes. These kind of networks are referred to as

View solution

Q. The end node is busy for the entire time, hence the use of the term
