Which of the following is a characteristic of a connectionless (datagram) network?
A. A virtual circuit is established before transmitting data
B. Each packet is forwarded independently
C. Packets follow the same path through the network
D. It is widely used for voice and video transmissions
What is the purpose of a router in a computer network?
A) To connect multiple networks together and route data between them. B
) To connect multiple devices on the same network and manage their communication.
C) To switch data between devices on the same network based on their MAC address.
D) To transmit data over long distances using fiber optic cables.
Which of the following is an example of a network technology that uses packet switching?
A) Telephone networks
B) Cable television networks
C) ATM networks
D) None of the above
What is the primary advantage of packet switching over circuit switching?
A) Packet switching allows for more efficient use of network resources by allowing multiple transmissions to occur simultaneously.
B) Circuit switching provides a dedicated connection for the duration of a transmission, ensuring reliable delivery.
C) Packet switching provides a faster transmission speed than circuit switching.
D) Circuit switching allows for real-time communication with low latency.
Which layer of the OSI model is responsible for routing packets between networks?
A. Data Link layer
B. Physical layer
C. Network layer
D. Transport layer
Which device is used to interconnect multiple networks and forward data based on logical addressing?
A. Router
B. Switch
C. Repeater
D. Hub
In virtual circuit switching, what is the virtual circuit identifier (VCI)?
A. The IP address of the source host
B. The IP address of the destination host
C. The path through the network
D. The identifier for the virtual connection between the source and destination hosts
What is the primary advantage of virtual circuit switching over connectionless (datagram) switching?
A. It provides a predictable path for transmitting data
B. It supports real-time voice and video transmissions
C. It requires less network resources
D. It allows for multiple paths through the network
