Chapter 6, Problem 1RQ

<PROGRAM-DESCRIPTION-ANSWER>

Wired and wireless transmission shares the same protocol in the network layer of OSI model.

Hence, the correct answer is option “B”.

</PROGRAM-DESCRIPTION-ANSWER>

Explanation of Solution

Layer 3: Network layer

  • It is the third level of the Open System Interconnection Model (OSI Model).
  • Network layer performs the routing of packet from source to destination.
  • For routing, it converts the data into packets, and after reaching the destination, it converts back to the data.
  • The primary responsibilities of this layer are to set up a logical connection, data forwarding, routing, and error reporting.

Explanation for incorrect options:

Layer 4: Transport layer

  • Its purpose is to provide the reliable transfer of data between two processes in the computer.
  • This layer ensures the error-free delivery, no loss of data, and duplication.

Hence, option “A” is wrong.

Layer 2: Data link layer

  • It makes the transmission of data reliable, which is provided by the physical layer.
  • For reliable transfer, it divides the data into data frames and transmits through the communication channel.
  • At the destination, it checks for the transmission error and sends the acknowledgement to the source.

Hence, option “C” is wrong.

Layer 1: Physical layer

  • It is concerned with how raw data bits are transmitted from one system to another over a physical communication line.
  • It describes the physical and electrical specifications for device.

Hence, option “D” is wrong.

Write a program that reads a list of integers from input and determines if the list is a palindrome (values are identical from first to last and last to first). The input begins with an integer indicating the length of the list that follows. Assume the list will contain a maximum of 20 integers. Output "yes" if the list is a palindrome and "no" otherwise. The output ends with a newline. Hints:   - use a for loop to populate the array based on the specified size (the first number entered)              - use a for loop to check first value with last value, second value with second from end, etc.              - if the values do not match, set a Boolean variable to flag which statement to output (yes or no)   Ex: If the input is (remember to include spaces between the numbers): 6 1 5 9 9 5 1 the output is: yes Ex: If the input is: 5 1 2 3 4 5 the output is: C++ coding
