'Hypothesis' is a word that gives a brief explanation of the concepts based on the limited evidence. The word 'theory' is closest in meaning to it.

In a brief, the system software is the interface between the hardware and user applications. System software is a type of computer program that is designed to run a computer’s hardware and application programs.

Examples : OS, System utilities, BIOS like mouse, keyboard, hard disc, Device drivers, Assembler,...

The IP address of a packet is normally analyzed by Router.

DRAM is a Volatile random-access memory (VRAM).

Volatile random-access memory (VRAM) is random-access memory that retains its information when power is turned on.

Examples of volatile memory are primary storage (typically dynamic RAM, DRAM), and fast CPU cache memory (typically static RAM, SRAM, which is fast but energy-consuming and offer lower memory capacity per area unit than DRAM).

Non-volatile random-access memory (NVRAM) is random-access memory that retains its information when power is turned off.

Examples of non-volatile memory are flash memory (used as secondary memory) and ROM, PROM, EPROM and EEPROM memory (used for storing firmware such as BIOS). 

Ethernet uses Bus topology.

A stub network has only one default path to non-local hosts and no outside network knowledge. Non-local stub network traffic uses a single logical path when traveling in and out of the network.

Stub networks are essentially local area networks (LAN) that either do not connect to the outside and relay data packets internally or are dead-end LANs that know of only one network exit. Stub networks may have multiple connections but use one path to single points of destination.

Hence, a stub network is a network that has only one entry and exit point.

Management Information Base is part of every SNMP-managed device. Each SNMP agent has the MIB database that contains information about the device's status, its performance, connections, and configuration. The MIB is queried by SNMP.
