How many bytes in an IPX network address? What is LANE? Why is it necessary? What are the differences between a meshed and a star topology? Describe some of the  advantages and disadvantages of each in a WAN context. What are the minimum and maximum sizes of packets in an 802.3 Ethernet protocol? What is the difference between TCP/IP host name and netBIOS host name? What is Ipsec tunneling, how it works? What is piggy backing? Which protocol is used for retrieving mails? you are given the IP address can u tell how many computers can be connected?What do you look at? Describe a 3-way TCP/IP Handshake? Under what situations a packet can go into infinite loop in a network ? Name any field of IP header that can prevent a packet to loop infinitely ? What is MTU of a link ? What is fragmentation of a packet ? What is the default subnet mask for an ipv6 address ? What is RAID? What is the Network Time Protocol? What is subnetting? why is it used?
