Process

I got call from recruiter about my application for the WiFi software engineer position. The phone interview was scheduled for the following week. There were two engineers that I talked to. They asked me questions mostly from my resume and some other on computer networks (TCP/IP, 802.11 standards, Ethernet frame header fields, how ping works and how to debug if it does not) and some on embedded software specifically in C. (Little-endien vs Big endien, how to determine which).

Questions

What is diff between big-endien vs little-endien? How to check with code?

Ethernet packet header fields..specifically what is 2-byte type field?

What is sliding window and TCP selective ACK mechanism?

How to debug if ping command fails ?

Was this helpful?
