1. As part of the five-layer network model used in this textbook, the data link layer sits directly between: a. the physical and the application layers b. the network and the application layers c. the network and transport layers d. the physical and the application layers e. the physical and the network layers 2. Which of the following is true with respect to the data link layer? a. It accepts streams of bits from the application layer. b. It is responsible for encoding the bit-stream as a series of electronic voltages. c. It performs error detection. d. It performs routing functions. e. It organizes data from the physical layer and passes these coherent messages directly to the application layer. 3. ____________ is not a function of a data link protocol. a. Media access control b.

Which of the following is not a controlled access method of media access control? a. Token passing b. CSMA/CD c. polling d. roll call polling e. hub polling 6. ________ is the process of sending a signal to a client that gives its permission to transmit or asks it to receive. a. Contention b. Polling c. Pooling d. Carrier sense e. CRC 7. Which of the following is true about roll call polling? a. It cannot be modified to increase priority of clients or terminals. b. It does not require a server, host, or special device that performs the polling. c. It is also called token passing. d. It is a type of contention approach to media access control. e. It typically involves some waiting because the server has to wait for a response from the polled client or terminal.

8. With contention: a. computers wait until the circuit is free before they send data b. the server or front end processor works consecutively through a list of clients to determine who should have access to the media c. the front end processor must wait for a response from the polled client or terminal d. one computer starts the poll and passes it to the next computer on the multipoint circuit e. there is never a chance for “collision,” or two computers trying to send data at the same time 9. In general, controlled approaches: a. work better than contention approaches for small networks that have low usage. b. work better than contention approaches for large networks that have high usage. c. work better than contention approaches for all sizes of networks. d. do not require a host, server, or active monitor to assign media access control. e. have many collisions. 10.

Errors on a network can occur: a. only on dial-up type of circuits. b. because of noise on the line. c. only on poorly maintained networks. d. only due to Gaussian noise. e. only due to lightning strikes. 12.
