A DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) device is an end instrument that converts user information into signals or reconverts received signals. In the context of networking, a router can be considered a DTE device because it is typically at the user end of a user-network interface and serves as a data source or destination. It communicates with the data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE), such as a modem, to send and receive data across the network345.

The data link layer of the OSI model, which is Layer 2, defines how data is formatted for transmission and controls access to the physical media. This layer is responsible for the node-to-node delivery of data and handles error detection and correction from the physical layer. It also manages the way data packets are sent over the network, including the framing, addressing, and flow control. The data link layer ensures that messages are delivered to the proper device on a LAN using hardware addresses (MAC addresses) and translates messages from the network layer into bits for the physical layer to transmit

TFTP, or Trivial File Transfer Protocol, is a simple protocol used for transferring files. Unlike other file transfer protocols, TFTP operates on top of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), which is a connectionless protocol. This means that TFTP does not establish a persistent connection between the client and server, and it does not guarantee reliable delivery of packets, error checking, or correction. TFTP is typically used in scenarios where simplicity and minimal memory footprint are more critical than the need for reliable delivery, such as when booting a device over a network123. References := Wikipedia, GeeksforGeeks, PyNet Labs

The correct IPv6 address notation follows the format of eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, separated by colons. The address must have exactly eight groups unless it uses the double colon (::) to represent consecutive groups of zero value. The double colon can only appear once in an address to avoid ambiguity.

Option A is incorrect because it includes a subnet mask (/128) which is not part of the actual address notation. Option B is incomplete as it does not contain enough groups and ends with a single colon. Option C has too many groups (nine instead of eight) and is therefore not a valid IPv6 address. Option D is the correct notation with eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, where necessary leading zeros are included.
