Question

Which statement below is a benefit of the fault-tolerant nature of internet routing?

options:

The ability to use a hierarchical naming system to avoid naming conflicts.

The ability to provide data transmission even when some connections between routers have failed.

The ability to resolve errors in domain name system lookups.

The ability to use multiple protocols such as hypertext transfer protocol , Internet protocol , and simple mail transfer protocol to transfer data.

Answer
_________________ is a set of data that describes and gives information about other data.
Answer
_________________ are the units of data that are sent over the network.
Answer
Is this statement True or False? If packets arrive out of order, all of the packets need to be sent again so they can be pieced together correctly.
Answer
______________________ allows for sending multiple packets between two computers by checking that all packets arrived and that they can be put back together in the proper order.

options:

Internet Protocol

HyperText Transfer Protocol


HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure

Transmission Control Protocol
Answer
Is this statement True or False? All data sent over the internet is broken down into several packets and sent over the network.

The correct statement that highlights a benefit of the fault-tolerant nature of internet routing is:

**The ability to provide data transmission even when some connections between routers have failed.**

This emphasizes the robustness of internet routing, which ensures that data can still be transmitted effectively despite failures in certain connections.

**Packets** are the units of data that are sent over the network.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
**False.**

In most networking protocols, if packets arrive out of order, they do not necessarily need to be sent again to be pieced together correctly. Protocols such as TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) can handle out-of-order packets by buffering them and reassembling them in the correct order before delivering them to the application layer. Only missing packets need to be retransmitted if they are detected as lost.

**Transmission Control Protocol** (TCP) allows for sending multiple packets between two computers by checking that all packets arrived and that they can be put back together in the proper order.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
**True.**

All data sent over the internet is typically broken down into several packets. This process allows for more efficient transmission and enables protocols to manage flow control, error checking, and reassembly of the data at the destination.
