Main Internet Question And Answer
Question 1. What Is Deadlock?
Answer :
A deadlock is a situation when a process in the system has
acquired some resources and waiting for more resources which are acquired by
some other process which in turn is waiting for the resources acquired by this
process. Hence, none of them can proceed and OS can’t do any work.
Question 2. What Is ASCII - American Standard Code For Information
Interchange?
Answer :
ASCII (pronounced as-key) is short for American Standard Code for
Information Interchange. It is a standard code that assigns a binary number to
all the alphanumeric characters (upper and lower case), all the symbols on the
keyboard, and some other symbols not on the keyboard (such as the cents symbol:
¢). All computers have been using this standard code for more than a decade,
and this is how plain text is saved on a disk. This standard does not define
any formatting however (except end of line), so word processors each have their
own file type that includes formatting information as well.
Question 3. Explain Web Server?
Answer :
A Web server is a server on the Internet that holds Web documents
and makes them available for viewing by remote browsers.
Question 4. What Is Web Page?
Answer :
A web page is a rich document that can contain richly formatted
text, graphics, animation, sound, and much more. Some web pages are generated
dynamically (such as the results of a search). You are currently viewing a
(static) web page. Every web page on the Internet has a unique address which
starts with the name of the computer that holds that page. Within a web page,
words and pictures can be linked to other pages. When you activate a link, you
will be taken to another page automatically. See also: Web, Web Browser,
Understanding Internet Addresses.

can think of it as the language the devices use to communicate with each other,
although it is not the same as a programming language (by which a human
programmer controls a computer). Different brands of printers, for example,
each use their own protocol (or "language") by which a computer can
communicate with the printer. This is why a driver program must be written for
each printer.

computers.
Question 29. What Is Data Encryption Standard (des)?
Answer :
Standardized encryption method used most on the Internet.
Question 30. What Is Cookies?
Answer :
Provide a simple way to identify session among a group of
HTTP/HTML requests. The cookie value is often an index into a table stored in
the memory of a Web server that points to an in memory object holding the
user's records. This has many potential problems: If the user's request is
routed to a different server in a subsequent request, the session information
is unknown to the server.
If the user is routed to a different server and the server is part
of an application cluster, then all the servers that could receive the user's
request must have a way to synchronize the session data. Storing cookies and
synchronizing sessions among clusters of server usually requires configuration,
storage space, and memory.
Question 31. What Is Data Encryption Key (dek)?
Answer :
Used for encryption and decryption of message text.
Question 32. What Is The Bandwidth?
Answer :
Bandwidth is the rate at which data that can be transferred
through a connection. A standard PC modem has a very low bandwidth of about
3,000 to 5,000 bytes per second. The very high speed lines that make up the
backbone of the Internet are much faster, at least 1,000,000 bytes per second!
Note that bandwidth is not exactly the same as speed. If you only want to
transfer one byte, it may not get where it is going any faster with
high-bandwidth than it would with low-bandwidth. However, if you want to transfer
a million bytes, then high-bandwidth will definitely help! You can think of
high-bandwidth as like drinking juice with a fat straw, whereas low bandwidth
is like drinking juice with one of those thin coffee straws.
Question 33. What Is Bounce?
Answer :
This term refers to when you send an e-mail to a non-existent
recipient and the e-mail is "bounced" back to you.
Question 34. What Is Web Browser?

lines.
Question 37. What Is Token Ring?
Answer :
A token ring is a kind of LAN that consists of computers that are
wired into a ring. Each computer is constantly in direct contact with the next
node in the ring.
A token, which is a type of control message, is sent from one node
to another, allowing messages to be sent throughout the network. A Token Ring
network cannot communicate within itself if one ring is broken.
Question 38. What Is Tcp/ip (transmission Control
Protocol/internet Protocol)?
Answer :
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, or TCP/IP, is the
basic communications protocol required for computers that use the Internet.
Question 39. What Is Subnet Mask (address Mask)?

concur with the different parts. Also known as the "subnet mask".
Question 40. What Is Slip (serial Line Internet Protocol)?
Answer :
A
standard protocol which is used to run TCP/IP over a serial line.
Question 41. What Is Url Rewriting?
Answer :
Instead
of storing a cookie value in the HTTP header of a request, the URL is rewritten
to include a session parameter. URL rewriting might avoid cookies but it share
the same set of potential problems just mentioned above. Plus, with URL
rewriting there are no static URLs in your Web-Enabled application, which often
makes caching and indexing more difficult. Finally, every Web page needs to be
dynamically generated so all hyperlinks include the session parameter.
Question 42. What Is Ppp (point-to-point Protocol)?
Answer :
A PPP is a protocol that provides a method for sending and
receiving packets over serial point-to-point links.
Question 43. What Is Ping?
