Computer Networks Final Quiz'23

What type of routing algorithm makes decisions based on current network conditions?

• Non-Adaptive Routing

• Flooding

• Adaptive Routing

• Static Routing

Which of the following is a characteristic of non-adaptive routing?

• Dynamic path selection

• Static routing table

• Frequent updates

• Network congestion management

In flooding, what happens when a data packet arrives at a router?

• It is discarded.

• It is sent to all outgoing links except the one it arrived on.

• It is sent to a single outgoing link.

• It is sent back to the sender.

What is the primary goal of the shortest path routing algorithm?

• To ensure data security

• To maximize data throughput

• To find the shortest path between routers

• To minimize network congestion

Which algorithm uses global knowledge to find the least-cost path?

• Isolated algorithm

• Centralized algorithm

• Random walk

• Distributed algorithm

What is a key feature of the distance vector routing algorithm?

• It requires global knowledge of the network.

• It uses a single routing table for all nodes.

• Each node maintains a vector of minimum distances to every node.

• It does not require periodic updates.

What is the purpose of Link State Advertisements (LSAs) in link state routing?

• To establish virtual circuits

• To share routing information with all routers

• To manage network congestion

• To encrypt data packets

Which of the following is NOT a type of adaptive routing algorithm?

• Distributed algorithm

• Isolated algorithm

• Flooding

• Centralized algorithm

What happens during a triggered update in distance vector routing?

• A node sends its routing table periodically.

• A node sends its routing table when there is a change.

• A node stops sharing its routing information.

• A node updates its table without sharing.

Which of these is not a function of the Data Link Layer?

• Framing

• Error control

• Flow control

• Packet routing
