Blog: CS601 VU Current Assignment No. 2 Spring 2012 Solution

Q:1 

Match the protocols given in Column B with its associated layers given in Column A and write the correct protocol against each layer of Column A in Column C. [Marks 5]

Answer

Column A               Column B              Column C

LAYERS	PROTOCOLS	Correct Choice
Application layer	TCP	FTP
Transport layer	Line code	TCP
Network layer	ARP	ARP  & IP
Data link layer	FTP
Physical layer	IP	Line Code

Q. 2 

In 3^rd column specify / write the appropriate choice vu solutions.com

from these three choices (header, trailer and N/A). For example, if a layer does not deal with header or trailer, write N/A in front of that particular layer and so on.

In 4^th column, specify the appropriate choice from these five choices (data, segment, packet, frame, bits) to its respective layer. 

Give short description of the functionality of each layer of OSI model within the provided area in column 5.

1	2	3	4	5
Sr. No.	Layer Name	Header/Trailer/ N/A	Data Unit	Functionality
1	Application	Header	Data	The Application Layer provides different services to the application. Examples of the services provided by this layer are File Transfer, electronic messaging, Virtual terminal access & Network Management.
2	Presentation	Header	Raw Data	This layer is responsible for protocol conversion, Data Encryption and decryption. This layer makes the communication between two hosts possible
3	Session	Header		This layer is responsible for process to process communication between the hosts in the network. This layer is responsible for establishing and ending the session across the network.
4	Transport	Header	Segment	This layer is responsible for end to end devilries of messages between the network hosts. it first divides the data into chunks/packets before transmission and then the receiving computer re-assembles these packets. It also ensures error free data delivery without loss or duplication.
5	Network	Header	Packets	This layer is responsible for translating the logical network address and name into their physical address (MAC Address). This layer also responsible for addressing, determine the routes for sending and managing network problems such as packet switching, congestion & routines.
6	Data Link	Header/Tailor	Frames	This layer is responsible for controlling the error between adjacent nodes and transfers the frame to other computer using physical layer. This layer is sued by hubs, switches for their operation. vusolutions.com
7	Physical	N/A	Bits	This layer is responsible for transmitting the row bit stream over the physical cable. This layer define the physical hardware such as cables, cards etc.
