- Q1. What is the difference between a unicast, multicast and broadcast address?
- - Unicast
- o LSB = 0
- o From one source to one destination – One-to-One
- - Multicast
- o LSB = 1
- o From one source to all possible destinations – One-to-All
- - Broadcast
- o From one source to multiple destinations stating an interest in receiving the traffic i.e. One-to-Many
- Q2. Why is there no need for CSMA/CD on a full-duplex Ethernet LAN?
- - There are no collisions, because data is transmitted in both directions alongside each other.
- - Collisions can only occur in a shared medium, such as WiFi and older Ethernet technologies such as thinnet and 10/100bT networks, implemented with hubs instead of switches. Hubs are half-duplex.
- Q3. Compare the data rates of Standard Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet and Ten-Gigabit Ethernet.
- - Standard Ethernet – 10 Mbps
- - Fast Ethernet – 100 Mbps
- - Gigabit Ethernet – 1,000 Mbps (1 Gbps)
- - Ten-Gigabit Ethernet – 10,000 Mbps (10 Gbps)
- Q4. What are the common Standard Ethernet implementations?
- - 10Base5
- o Thick coax
- o 500m
- - 10Base2
- o Thin coax
- o 185m
- - 10Base-T
- o 2 UTP
- o 100m
- - 10Base-F
- o 2 Fibre
- o 2000m
- Q5. What are the common Fast Ethernet implementations?
- - 100Base-TX
- o STP
- o 2 wires
- o 100m
- - 100Base-FX
- o Fibre
- o 2 wires
- o 100m
- - 100Base-T4
- o UTP
- o 4 wires
- o 100m
- Q6. What are the common Gigabit Ethernet implementations?
- - 1000Base-SX
- o Fibre – short-wave
- o 2 wires
- o 550m
- - 1000Base-LX
- o Fibre – long-wave
- o 2 wires
- o 5000m
- - 1000Base-CX
- o STP
- o 2 wires
- o 25m
- - 1000Base-T4
- o Cat 5 UTP
- o 4 wires
- o 100m
- Q7. What are the common Ten-Gigabit Ethernet implementations?
- - 10GBase-S
- o Multi-mode Fibre
- o 2 wires
- o 300m
- - 10GBase-L
- o Single-mode Fibre
- o 2 wires
- o 10,000m
- - 10GBase-E
- o Single-mode Fibre
- o 2 wires
- o 40,000m
- Q13. What is the ratio of useful data to the entire packet for the smallest Ethernet frame? What is the ratio for the largest frame?
- - Smallest frame
- o The minimum length of an Ethernet frame is 64 Bytes. The useful data in that Ethernet frame is 46 Bytes.
- o 46 / 64 = 0.7185 = 71.2%
- - Largest frame
- o The maximum frame length = 1518 Bytes
- o Maximum payload length = 1500 Bytes
- o 1500 / 1518 = 0.9881 = 98.9%
- Q14. Suppose the length of a 10Base5 cable is 2500 m. If the speed of propagation in a thick coaxial cable is 200,000,000 m/s, how long does it take for a bit to travel from the beginning to the end of the network? Assume there are 10 µs delay in the equipment.
- - ____2500m_____ = 0.0125 ms = 12.5 µs
- (200,000,000 m/s)
- - 12.5 µs + 10 µs = 22.5 µs
