OSI Model, TCP-IP & IP Addressing Practice Set: NEB 12 Computer

Worked practice

Build the result from meaning, not memory

Layered models separate communication responsibilities. OSI has seven conceptual layers; TCP/IP groups practical Internet functions. IP addresses identify interfaces for routed delivery, while ports identify application endpoints.

The governing relationship is Encapsulation adds headers as data moves down layers and removes them upward. IPv4 has 32 bits; a prefix such as /24 separates network and host portions under the mask. Check the convention, geometry or boundary condition before calculation.

Independent practice ladder

1. Define the key physical quantities and give their SI units.
2. Draw and label the relevant wave, ray, mode or energy diagram.
3. Recalculate the worked example after changing one input by a factor of two.
4. Explain the result without equations.
5. Create a Nepal-relevant situation such as a classroom speaker, musical pipe, optical slit or thermal machine.
6. Compare two cases and predict the larger output before calculating.
7. Find and repair one deliberately wrong sign, node or unit.
8. Write a three-mark answer and a five-mark answer.

Answer protocol: diagram → known data → principle → symbolic equation → SI substitution → result → physical check. Treating OSI and TCP/IP as identical layer counts, confusing MAC with IP or port, using the network address as a host, or guessing subnet range without applying the mask.

NEB answer method

Model → evidence → equation → check

First identify the system and what the question asks. Label the diagram, apparatus or reaction with SI quantities, then state the principle before selecting an equation. Solve symbolically where possible and check units, limiting cases and chemical or physical meaning.

Make the idea concrete in Nepal

Connect the model to a school laboratory, household technology, health, environment, energy or local material. The example should clarify the science rather than merely mention a place. Compare a prediction with an observation and record uncertainty.
