This document contains a question bank covering three modules on computer networks. Module 1 focuses on key design issues of network layers and protocols like TCP/IP. Module 2 covers data link layer functions like error detection and control protocols. Module 3 distinguishes between virtual circuits and datagrams, describes routing algorithms like shortest path and Bellman-Ford, and differentiates hierarchical and link state routing.

Question Bank on Computer Networks (21CS52)

Module 1
SL Questions RBL CO Marks
1 Describe the key design issues for the layers encountered in computer networks as L2 1 10
information moves through different layers.
2 How does connectionless service differ from connection-oriented service, and L1 1 10
what analogy is used to describe it? Explain it with six different types of service.
3 Describe the primitives associated with connection-oriented service and Explain L2 1 10
the role of primitives like SEND, RECEIVE, and DISCONNECT in facilitating
communication between client and server processes.
4 Describe the TCP/IP protocol suite, accompanied by a clear diagram highlighting L2 1 10
its distinctions from the OSI model. Illustrate the TCP/IP model by outlining the
protocols associated with each layer.
5 Explain the primary function of the physical layer in networking. How does the L1 1 10
physical layer contribute to the transmission of data between machines?
6 Describe magnetic media and twisted pair cables, including their respective L2 1 10
