1,Differentiate state full and state less server?

State full server

 -a server is required to maintain the current state and session information.


 -server and client are tightly bound. - server maintains clients state information
from one remote procedure call to next.
 _More efficiency.
 _difficulty due to loss of information in parameters of crash recovery.
 _information transfer the client can send less data with each request.

Stateless server

 Server is not needed to keep the server information or session details to itself.

 Server and client are loosely coupled and acts independently.

 i.e. server does not maintain any client any state information.

 Less efficiency information need to provide.

 Easily recover from failure of parameters crash recovery.

2, What is distribute system?

 - a program acts an interface between user and the computer hardware.

 -a program that control execution all kind of program.

 - a system whose components are located on different networked computer which


communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages to one another.

 - a piece of software that ensures that a collection of independent computers appears to


users as single coherent system.

3, Explain goals of distribute system

 -to make it easy for users to access remote resources.

1
 _to share resource with other users in a controlled manner.
 _connecting users and resources i.e. collaborating exchanging information.
 _relative’s simplicity of software.
 _incremental growth.
 _openness describes the syntax and semantics of resource.
 _reliability and availability.
 -transparency.

4,explain what middleware is and its role?

Middleware – software that manages and supports the different component of a


distribute system.

 -a software based layers located between the lower network and hard ware based
layers.
- used to describe the application that allows multiple software to
communicate with one another.
 _enables different applications to communicate.

· the role of middleware

 -handling communication between component of the system.


 -it’s anaglous to the system you send anything through the mail by packing and
addressing it in standard.
 -load management directory, authoring audit, and statics.

5, explain the difference network operating system and distribute operating system

▪ Network operating system

 -made up of software and associated protocols that allow set of computer network
to based together.

2
 -provide the local services to remote client. -each node or system can have its own
operating system.
 -communication takes place on the basis of file.
 -more scalable.
 -no implicit sharing of loads.
 -high ease of implementation.
 -fault tolerance is less rate of anatomy.

▪ Distribute operating system

 an ordinary centralized operating system that runs on multiple independent


processors.
 -each node or system have same operating which opposite to the network
operating system.
 -manage the hardware resources.
 communication takes place on the basis of messages and shared memory.
 -fault tolerance is high i.e. more reliable.
 less scalable.
 -all nodes have same operating system.

6, briefly explain OSI model

 ▪ OSI model-a conceptual framework used to describe the function of a


networking system.
 -characterizes computing functions into universal set of rulers and requirements in
order to support interoperability between different product and software.
 to accomplish communication between computer of different architectures.
 -characterizes computing functions into universal set of rulers and requirements in
order to support interoperability between different product and software.
 to accomplish communication between computer of different architectures.
 OSI model have seven layers
 each layers provides services to its upper layers.

These: -

3
 Application -to allow access to network resources.
 Presentation -To establish, manage, and terminate session.
 Session -to establish, manage, and terminate session.
 Transport -To provide reliable process-to-process message delivery and error
recovery.
 Network -to move packets from source to destination.
o -to provide internetworking.
 Data Link -to organize bits into frames. -to provide hop-to-hop delivery.
 Physical -to provide mechanical and electrical specifications

7, what is computer network?

o a data network or telecommunications network that used to exchange data.


o a group of computers that use a set of common communication protocols
over digital interconnections for the purpose of sharing resources located
on the network node.

8, what is synchronization? Explain in detail

 _the coordination of multiple events mechanical devices.


 it refers the coordination of hardware devices such that data they contain or
provide is made to identical.
 central issue in the communication structure.
 Communication between two processes takes place through calls to send and receive
primitives.
 -when we data synchronization is the integration of - the capability to control the
access of multiple
 threads to any shared resource
 we have better option where we want to allow only one thread to access the
shared resource.

4
9, what is RPC?

 _when a computer program causes a procedure to execute in a different address


space .
 _ is an intreprocess communication technique that is used for client-server based
applications.
 _ a client has a request message that the RPC translated and send to the server.
 _a network programming model or interprocess communications technique that is
used for point-to-point communications between software applications.
 _ is a protocol that one program can use to request a service from a program
located in another computer on a network without having to understand the
network's details.

10, what is operating system?

 a system software that manages computer hardware and software resource.


 -the system that acts as intermediary between programs and computer hardware.
 application code executed directly by the and frequently makes system.
 -a program that controls execution of all kinds of a program.
 -a program that provides common services for computer programs.
