When an Ethernet frame arrives at a computer, the Ethernet layer must hand the packet that it contains to the next higher layer

to be processed. The act of finding the right higher layer to pro-cess received packets is called demultiplexing. We know that in our case the higher layer is IP. But how does the Ethernet protocol know this? After all, the higher-layer could have been another protocol entirely (such as ARP). We have the same issue at the IP layer – IP must be able to deter-mine that the contents of IP message is a TCP packet so that it can hand it to the TCP protocol to process. The answer is that protocols use information in their header known as a "demultiplexing key" to determine the higher layer. O true O false

Answer: The answer is True.

Explanation:

In the TCP/IP suite, when travelling through a physical network, information comes encapsulated in frames, which format depends on the Data Link Layer Protocol used.

For Ethernet networks, there is a special field, called TYPE, that once read by the software, informs to the Ethernet software to which higher layer must send the packet, once stripped the frame header.

This field TYPE is known as a "demultiplexing key" for the Data Link Layer Protocol.

At the IP level, the IP header contains a similar field, called PROTOCOL in IPv4 and NEXT HEADER in IPv6, which acts in the same way, telling to the IP software which is the higher layer to send the datagram, once stripped the IP Header.

For an external usb hard drive attached to a computer, which is more suitable: a writethrough cache or a block cache
Charra [1.4K]

Disk access is way slower than memory access. Caching is a technique to improve the disk access time.  Block cache is a caching technique which reduces disk accesses time.  Here a portion of disk is bought to cache for reading and a modified blocks are first changed in cache but reflected in the disk at one go.  On the other hand with write through caching each modified block is written to cache and at the same time it is written to the disk.  Write- through caching requires more disk I/O so they can have a negative effect on the performance.
