Q:

A receiving host has failed to receive all of the segments that it should acknowledge. What can the host do to improve the reliability of this communication session?

A) Send a different source port number B) Restart the virtual circuit
C) Decrease the sequence number D) Decrease the window size
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Decrease the window size

Explanation:

A receiving host can control the transmitter by using flow control ( TCP uses windowing by default). By decreasing the window size, the receiving host can slow down the transmitting host so the receiving host does  not overflow its buffers.

Q:

The network with ip address 192.168.100.0/27 is to be used on a router. If ip subnet-zero is configured, which statement describe the resulting number of available subnets and hosts?

A) 7 usable subnets, each with 32 host addresses B) 8 usable subnets, each with 30 host addresses
C) 8 usable subnets, each with 27 host addresses D) 7 usable subnets, each with 24 host addresses
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 8 usable subnets, each with 30 host addresses

Explanation:

Because subnet zero is configured and we have a class C address (192.168.100.0) then the network portion will have 3 bits so 8 subnets will be available. The rest of the bits, 5, represent the available hosts, so 2^5=32, but only 30 are available, 0 ad 31 are network and broadcast respectively.
