Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The protocol header field identifies the IP protocol that was used in the data portion of the packet and should receive the data at its destination.

Answer: A
 A packet is the basic unit of information that is exchanged between devices on the Internet. It contains a header and a payload.

Answer: C 
 A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks.

Answer: D 
 ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is a protocol used by network devices to send error messages indicating, for example, that a requested service is not available or that a host or network is unreachable.

Answer: H 
 Fragmentation is the process of dividing a packet into smaller packets that can be transmitted over a network with a smaller maximum transmission unit (MTU).

Answer: F 
 Firewall appliances are network security devices that monitor and filter incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predefined security rules.

Answer: G 
 Stateful packet filtering is a security mechanism that tracks the state of active network connections and allows only authorized traffic to pass through the firewall.

Answer: I 
 Stateless packet filtering is a security mechanism that examines each packet individually and filters based only on information contained in the packet header, without tracking the state of active network connections.
