UNIT-1:
1) Explain the ISO-OSI model in detail. OR List the seven OSI layers and
mention the functions of each in brief.
2) Explain the design issues related to TCP/IP reference model. Also, write the
dissimilarities between TCP/IP reference model and ISO OSI reference
model.
3) Which of the OSI layers handle each of the following functions.
a. Compression & encryption of data
b. Determine the route through subnet to use.
c. Provide synchronization
d. Flow control between adjacent machines physically connected by a
communication channel.
e. Reliable data transfer from source to destination independent of
subnet.
4) What are the considerations for preparing a layered mode for computer
networks. OR What are the principles that were applied to design seven layer
OSI model?
5) Discuss the functions of different elements of computer network structure.
Explain the neat sketches the various topologies used in computer networks
and indicate the ones most widely used for LANs and WANs.

10) What is meant by ‘carrier sense’ in LAN protocols. How does the propagation
delay degrade the performance of CSMA protocols?
11) Why is exponential backoff used in CSMA/CD protocol?
12) Explain 1-persistant CSMA/CD, what is the minimum time a station needs to
transmit without hearing a collision to make sure that it has “seized” the channel?
