Differentiate between FTP and TFTP
FTP TFTP
1.File transfer protocol Trivial file transport protocol
2.uses two connection uses one connection
3.provides many commands Provides only 5 commands
4.uses TCP Uses UDP
5.Login required No login required
6.allow for user authentication Doesn’t allow user authentication
7.reliable Not reliable
Distinguish between SMTP & POP3 protocol.
Smtp Pop3
1. SMTP stands for SIMPLE MAIL POP3 stands for POST OFFICE
TRANSFER PROTOCOL & is PROTOCOL VERSION 3 & is also
also;.,l[ called Push Protocol. called a Pop Protocol.
2. SMTP is used for Sending emails POP3 is used to retrieve the emails
SMTP transfers Email from Sender’s POP3 retrieves Emails from the mailbox
Device to the mailbox on the recipient’s on the receipting’s server to their device.
server.
4. It is a message transfer Agent. SMTP It is a message access Agent. POP3 has
has two MTAS two MAAS
5. SMTP uses Ports 25, 465 & 587. POP3 uses Ports 110 or 995
Differentiate between RIP & OSPF routing protocol
RIP OSPF
1. RIP Stands for Routing OSPF stands for Open Shortest Path First
Information Protocol
2. RIP works on the Bellman-Ford OSPF works on Dijkstra algorithm
algorithm.
3. It is a Distance Vector protocol It is a link-state protocol and it analyzes
and it uses the distance or hops different sources like the speed, cost and
count to determine the transmission path congestion while identifying the
path. shortest path.
4. It is used for smaller size It is used for larger size organizations in
organizations the network
5.It allows a maximum of 15 hops There is no such restriction on the hop
count.
6. It is not a more intelligent It is more intelligent dynamic routing
dynamic routing protocol. protocol.
7. Its administrative distance is 120 Its administrative distance is 110
8. RIP utilizes less memory OSPF device resource requirements are
compared to OSPF but is CPU CPU intensive and memory
intensive like OSPF
9. RIP uses UDP(User Datagram OSPF works for IP(Internet Protocol)
Protocol) Protocol. Protocol.
Differentiate between IPv4 and IPv6 on the basis of length and security
Ipv4 Ipv6
1. Addresses are 32 bit (4bytes) in length Addresses are 128bits (16 bytes) in
length.
2. Deployed in 1981 Deployed in 1999
3. Header includes checksum Header doesn’t includes checksum
4.Header includes checksum Optional data is supported as extension
header
5.Configuration is either manually or Does not require manual configuration
through DHCP or DHCP
6. Address format in dotted decimal Address format in hexadecimal notation
notation
7. Both routers and the sending host Routers do not support packet
fragment packets fragmentation sending host fragment
packets
Differentiate between distance vector routing and link state routing
