Network Architecture Quiz

What are the four key characteristics of reliable network architecture?

• Speed, Latency, Bandwidth, Encryption

• Fault Tolerance, Scalability, QoS, Security

• Routing, Switching, Firewalls, VLANs

• Cloud, On-premise, Hybrid, Edge

Network Architecture primarily refers to:

• Physical cabling colors

• Technologies supporting data movement

• Brand of network devices

• Office floor plans

How does fault tolerance limit failure impact?

• By using cheaper cables

• By limiting affected devices

• By reducing internet speed

• By eliminating routers

What is required for fault tolerance?

• Single path routing

• Multiple network paths

• Circuit switching

• Manual failover

Packet switching enables fault tolerance because:

• All packets take the same path

• Packets can take different paths

• Uses dedicated circuits

• Requires physical security

Which network type CANNOT provide redundancy?

• Packet-switched

• Circuit-switched

• Ethernet

• IP-based

A scalable network can:

• Only support fixed user counts

• Expand without impacting existing users

• Work without protocols

• Reduce security requirements

What helps make networks scalable?

• Proprietary technologies

• Accepted standards

• Manual configurations

• Consumer-grade hardware

What causes video streaming interruptions?

• Too much security

• Bandwidth competition

• Single-path routing

• Device colors

QoS primarily ensures:

• Cheaper internet bills

• Reliable content delivery

• Physical device security

• Network ownership
