Networking Basics Quiz

What does Static Routing use to route packets through a network?

• Variable paths that change dynamically

• Fixed paths described by the network configuration

• The shortest possible path at any given time

• Random paths for security purposes

Dynamic Routing routes packets based on what?

• Predefined paths regardless of network conditions

• The current conditions of the communication circuits within a system

• The longest available path to ensure data integrity

• A single path that never changes
