We should have questions that touch on these themes:

  • names, order, purpose of layers in the protocol stack---plus names of packets for those layers
  • error detection and correction
  • format of headers for packets
  • types and formats of addresses
  • routing
  • reliable data transfer
  • origins of Internet, people, organizations, history
  • challenges and the likely future evolution of computer networks

We should have some mix of these types of questions:

  • numerical computation
  • interpret expression or diagram
  • definitions (answer to a question that asks what? or who?)
  • longer answers to questions that asks why? or how?
