ARPA (now called DARPA) stands for the ___. - ✔✔Advanced Research Projects
Agency
Domain names and IP addresses on the Internet are managed by ___ - ✔✔the
Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)
Which three of the following statements are true regarding the history of the
Internet? - ✔✔Packet switching allows a message to be divided into many packets
rather than traveling on one phone circuit.
ARPA hired MIT Professor J.C.R. Licklider to connect computer networks of four
universities.
ARPAnet was built to ensure that if individual networks or computers fail,
ARPAnet would still be functional.
,The network that encompasses all the networks around the world that are
connected to each other using TCP/IP is referred to as the ___ - ✔✔Internet
SAGE was developed by the US Department of ___. - ✔✔defense
Information is transferred over the Internet in small data groupings called -
✔✔packets
Packet-switched networks break information into units called ___ - ✔✔packets
The redundancy of Internet connectivity is based on a technology called ___ -
✔✔packet switching
ARPA stands for ___ - ✔✔Advanced Research Projects Agency
Which two of the following statements are true about the development of the
Internet? - ✔✔Paul Baran developed packet switching.
One of ARPAnet's challenges was to ensure that if individual computers or
networks failed, the overall network would continue to operate.
SAGE was developed during the ___ War. - ✔✔cold
The Internet evolved from a Department of Defense funded project called ___,
that attempted to link computers from four separate university networks. -
✔✔ARPAnet
, Telephones were connected using circuit switching while the Internet uses ___
switching. - ✔✔packet
By ensuring that transmissions can be sent even when several sites are not
working, ___ technology made the Internet possible. - ✔✔packet switching
Which three of the following statements are true regarding how circuit switching
works when you make a traditional land line based phone call? - ✔✔When you
pick up the receiver it creates an open connection to the local telephone switch.
When you dial a number, then the switch connects to other switches along the
public switched telephone network (PSTN). This forms a physical path between
your phone and the person you are calling.
When the call is received a circuit is established and will remain open for the
entire length of your call. As long as the circuit remains open, no one else can use
the telephone line.
The Internet was based on a Department of Defense computer network called -
✔✔ARPAnet
ISP stands for: - ✔✔Internet Service Provider
Paul Baran developed a technology called: - ✔✔packet switching that made the
Internet reliable (and possible!).
Which of the following three are Internet service options? - ✔✔Fiber Optic
Cable
