Understanding Network Performance Factors

What is latency in the context of network performance?

• The amount of data that can be transmitted in a given time

• The time it takes for a data packet to travel from source to destination

• The number of packets lost during transmission

• The process of detecting errors in data transmission

Which factor primarily affects the bandwidth of a network?

• The number of users connected

• The physical distance between devices

• The type of cables used

• The error detection techniques employed

What is packet loss in networking?

• The delay in data transmission

• The failure of packets to reach their destination

• The process of retransmitting data

• The congestion of network traffic

Which mechanism is used to manage congestion in networks?

• Error detection

• Retransmission

• Congestion control

• Latency reduction

What is the purpose of error detection techniques in networking?

• To increase bandwidth

• To identify and correct errors in data transmission

• To reduce latency

• To manage network congestion

What is a common protocol timeout issue?

• Excessive bandwidth usage

• Delayed packet delivery

• Premature termination of a connection

• Increased latency

How does network topology impact performance?

• It determines the error detection techniques used

• It affects the physical layout and data flow efficiency

• It controls the bandwidth allocation

• It influences the latency of data packets

Which of the following is a method of error detection?

• Bandwidth allocation

• Checksum

• Latency measurement

• Congestion control

What is the effect of high latency on network performance?

• Faster data transmission

• Increased packet loss

• Slower response times

• Improved error detection

Which protocol is commonly used for congestion control?

• TCP

• UDP

• ICMP

• FTP
