POP3- POST OFFICE PROTOCOL 3 - ½ Mark each

(ii) HTML( Hyper text mark Up language)

 We use pre-defined tags
 Static web development language – only focuses on how data looks
 It use for only displaying data, cannot transport data
 Not case sensistive

XML (Extensible Markup Language)

 we can define our own tags and use them
 Dynamic web development language – as it is used for transporting
and storing data
 Case sensitive
-Any Correct difference – 1 Mark

OR
(i) Advantages of Bus topology
 Easy to implement and extend
 It is very cost-effective as compared to other network
Advantages of Star topology
 Ease of service
 Centralized control
 Easy to diagnose faults
-Any one advantage of each – ½ Mark each
(ii) Packet switching:
 no dedicated path is established from the source to the destination.
 message is divided into smaller parts, known as packets and then
sent forward
 tight upper limit on block size
 Each data unit knows only the final receiver’s address

(i) Total cable length = 165 m may be considered as cable length is short.
-1 Mark for the correct layout
(ii) The most suitable place to house the server is the TRAINING building.
In the TRAINING building we have the maximum number of computers
installed (150 no’s), so as per the 80 - 20 network design rule the server
should be placed in that building where the network traffic is maximum
localized which reduces the cabling cost and increases the efficiency.
- 1 Mark
(iii)
 Repeater is needed in bus layout between ADMIN and TRAINING
building because according to this layout the distance between
buildings ADMIN and TRAINING is 90mts. - ½ Mark
 Switch is to be installed in each building as it gives connectivity to all
computers in the network with dedicated band width. -½ Mark
(iv) Microwave -( 1 Mark)
(v) WAN – as the network is spread across different geographical
