Question

The transport layer handles multiplexing and demultiplexing through what type of device?

Answer 1

Answer:

The transport layer handle multiplexing by using a device called MULTIPLEXER ( MUX) and the device that handle demultiplexing is called DEMULTIPLEXER (DMUX).

Explanation:

Transport layer is the layer in the open interconnection system model which function in communication over network.

Multiplexing is the process transport layer assembles data from multiple socket and enclose the data with the header and sending the enclosed data to the receiver through a device called MULTIPLEXER.

Demultiplexing is the reverse process of Multiplexing and it is carried out with the use of a device called DEMULTIPLEXER. It is the process where by the received data is delivered by the transport layer to the correct app layer or socket.

Answer 2

Answer: An iron receiver medium transmits it.

Explanation:

It is a process in which multiple analogue and digital signals are combined into one and then transmitted to the medium by an iron receiver. We distinguish between frequency, time, space and coded multiplexing.

Television uses multiplexing of video and audio signals and sends as a single signal into the ether, this process called frequency multiplexing. The ADSL modem does frequency multiplexing of the telephone signal while cell phones, on the other hand, use encoded multiplexing.
