The document outlines a 10 question networks laboratory exam covering topics like using networking commands, writing HTTP and TCP socket programs, simulating protocols like DNS, ARP, and RARP, and simulating routing algorithms and error correction using network simulation tools. Students are asked to capture and examine ping and trace route PDUs, develop client-server and chat applications using TCP sockets, and evaluate the performance of TCP/UDP and routing protocols through simulation.
