|
An IP addressing method in which address
classes no longer dictate the part of an IP address designated as the network portion. With ______, a network administrator can assign however many bits are appropriate to the network design. |
Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR)
|
|
A type of protocol that sends data across the network to its destination
without guaranteeing receipt. |
connectionless
|
|
A type of protocol that establishes a formal connection between
two computers, guaranteeing that data will reach its destination. |
connection-oriented
|
|
ATCP/IP protocol used to associate a computer’s IP
address with a name. |
Domain Name System (DNS)

|
|
The protocol used to transfer Web pages from
a Web server to a Web browser. |
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
|
|
A TCP/IP protocol used to send
information and error messages. |
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
|
|
TCP/IP’s primary network protocol; it provides
addressing and routing information. |
Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4)
|
|
An updated version of _____ created to solve some
problems inherent in that protocol, such as a somewhat limiting 32-bit address space, lack of built-in security, a sometimes complicated setup, and a lack of built-in Quality of Service. |
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)
|
|
____
is Novell’s protocol for packet routing and forwarding. In this protocol suite, ____ serves many of the same functions that IP does in the TCP/IP suite.____ is Novell’s connection oriented protocol that supplements ____ by providing reliable transport. |
Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange (IPX/SPX)
|
|
A special DNS host name that refers to whatever IP address is assigned to the
machine where this name is referenced. (Think of it as a special way to access the current IP address on any computer.) |
localhost
|
|
A special DNS host name that refers to the reserved Class A address
127.0.0.1, used to confirm that a computer’s IP configuration works. |
loopback address
|
|
A network protocol developed by
IBM and Microsoft specifically to provide transport services for NetBIOS. _______ is not routable. In addition, it’s nearly obsolete and is no longer supported on currentWindows operating systems. |

|
|
Novell’s upper-layer protocol that provides all
client/server functions. |
