Using the below diagram, explain how packet switching works when sending a 500 KiB file from computer 'A' to computer 'B'.
Using the below diagram, explain how packet switching works when sending a 500 KiB file from computer 'A' to computer 'B'.
Answer all the questions.
Explain the term data packet.
Data packets contain a header.
Name three components that you would expect to find in a header.
Data packets also have a payload and a trailer.
Explain these two terms.
What does 'bps' stand for in terms of data transmission?
Which transmission allows data to be sent and received at the same time?
Using the below diagram, explain how packet switching works when sending a 500 KiB file from computer 'A' to computer 'B'.
Match the description of transmission taking place with correct term:
| Stavka koja se može prevući | arrow_right_alt | Odgovarajuća stavka |
|---|---|---|
Data sent 16 bits at a time down 16 wires in both directions simultaneously | arrow_right_alt | Simplex, Serial |
Data sent 16 bits at a time down 16 wires in both directions, but not at the same time | arrow_right_alt | Full duplex, Serial |
Data sent one bit at a time down a single wire in both directions simultaneously | arrow_right_alt | Half duplex, Serial |
Data sent one bit at a time down a single wire in one direction only | arrow_right_alt | Half duplex, Parallel |
Data sent 8 bits at a time down 8 wires in one direction only | arrow_right_alt | Full duplex, Parallel |
Data sent one bit at a time down a single wire in both directions, but not at the same time | arrow_right_alt | Simplex, Parallel |
Indicate which statements about USB are True and which statements are False:
True | False | |
|---|---|---|
USBs use a protocol that allows for error-free data transmission between device and computer | ||
USBs can support any cable length between device and computer | ||
USBs use serial data transfer | ||
USB connections can transfer data using half-duplex or full-duplex | ||
It is difficult to add more USB ports to a computer using USB hubs | ||
USB data transfer rates are much faster than, for example, Ethernet connections | ||
There is no need for devices to have a power source because USB cable supplies 5V of power |
A system uses even parity.
Indicate whether the following bytes would fail or pass an even parity check:
a)
b)
c)
Check digits are used to check data during data entry.
Give two types of error that check digits can identify.
ISBN-13 is a type of check digit standard.
The following algorithm generates a check digit for a 12-digit ISBN book code:
1) add all odd-numbered digits together (from left)
2) add all even-numbered digits together and then multiply the result by 3
3) add together the results for steps 1 and 2, and then divide the result by 10
4) take away the remainder of the division from 10, leaving the check digit
Showing your working, calculate the check digit for the following 12-digit ISBN code:
9 781 471 86867
An audio CD uses 40,960 samples per second, with 16 bits being used per sample.
The music being sampled uses two channels to allow for stereo recordings.
Calculate the file size for a 1024 second recording. Give your answer in MiB.
Convert the denary number, −45, into binary, using the two’s complement format.
