Answer: Please see below as the answer is self-explanatory

Explanation:

For the TCP/IP protocol suite, the IP protocol is the Network (or Internet) layer (Layer 3 in the OSI model), and TCP is one of the possible options for the Transport Layer, (Layer 4 in the OSI model).

Now, how the transport layer is aware that the transport protocol to be used is TCP?

When the network layer receives a packet, reads the IP Header, processes it, and then, after stripping it from the packet, sends it to the immediate upper layer.

In the IP header, there is a field, that tells the network layer, which is the protocol that will take care of the packet payload once processed by the network layer.

This field, has different names in IPv4 and IPv6; It is called PROTOCOL in IPv4, and NEXT HEADER in IPv6.

It has a length of 8 bits, and the binary value included in it, identifies uniquely the type of upper-layer protocol to be used, being the same for the same protocol in both versions of IP protocol.

For TCP, it is 6 in binary: 00000110.

What is the HIPAA Privacy rule, and why does it affect IT professionals?

CaHeK987 [17]

Solution:

The HIPAA Privacy Rule establishes national standards to protect individuals' medical records and other personal health information and applies to health plans, health care clearinghouses, and those health care providers that conduct certain health care transactions electronically.

IT affects it by these ways:

The HIPAA Privacy Rule for the first time creates national standards to protect individuals’ medical records and other personal health information.

• It gives patients more control over their health information.

• It sets boundaries on the use and release of health records.

• It establishes appropriate safeguards that health care providers and others must achieve to protect the privacy of health information.

• It holds violators accountable, with civil and criminal penalties that can be imposed if they violate patients’ privacy rights.

• And it strikes a balance when public responsibility supports disclosure of some forms of data – for example, to protect public health.

This takes for patient.

• It enables patients to find out how their information may be used, and about certain disclosures of their information that have been made.

• It generally limits release of information to the minimum reasonably needed for the purpose of the disclosure.

• It generally gives patients the right to examine and obtain a copy of their own health records and request corrections.

What do you understand by Multiprotocol Label Switching, how it works and is helpful in today's network scenario.

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS): It is a routing technique in telecommunications networks that transfers data from 1 node to next node based upon shortest paths instead of long network addresses, hence it avoids rigorous findings in a routing table and speeds the flow of traffic

MPLS provides better performance,scalability,better bandwidth utilization,a better end-user experience and reduced network congestion.Hence it is useful in today's network scenario.
