About Networking and Internet MCQs
The networking questions in this topic cover the basics of computer networks: types of transmission, network topologies such as star, bus and ring, wireless modes, and the devices that work at different OSI layers, such as hubs, switches and routers. You will also find questions on protocols, the rules that govern data transfer over the Internet, and on the history of early networks such as ARPANET. Questions on network types, such as LAN, MAN and WAN, and on the people behind early networking also appear.
The Internet questions deal with everyday web use: websites and hyperlinks, search engines, email, downloading and uploading, cookies, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and types of e-commerce. Questions on online services, such as how websites recognise returning visitors, are also common. A few questions test facts about well-known Internet companies and early milestones of social media and video sharing, so read the wording of each question with care.
