Answer: high level data link control (HDLC) high level data link control (HDLC) high level data link control (HDLC) A receiver joins a multicast group by sending

The ________ is designed for use between local area networks that use identical protocols for the physical and link layers and, because the devices all use the same protocols, the amount of processing here is minimal. Answer: bridge bridge bridge In the ________ scheme, a binary 0 is represented by no line signal and

A ________ is a server that appears to the client as if it were an origin server. A) tunnel B) proxy C) gateway D) all of the above Answer: C C C If the ________ has to do with the ability of the network to deliver packets via some route in the face of localized failures and overloads. A) Correctness B) Robustness C)

Congestion control is concerned with efficient use of a network at high load. Answer: T T T Because the least-cost criterion is more flexible, it is more common than the minimum-hop criterion. Answer: F F F A modem is required to establish communication between a workstation and a server over a public telephone network. Answer: T T T Circuit switching and packet switching

When a TCP entity retransmits a segment using fast retransmit it assumes that a segment was lost, even though it has not yet timed out on that segment. Answer: T T T The key technology for 4G systems is ________. Answer: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access

Minimal encapsulation results in less overhead and can be used if the mobile node, home agent, and foreign agent all agree to do so. Answer: T T T Whereas traditional telephone networks allocate dedicated circuits for voice communications using circuit switching, VoIP uses _______, allowing the sharing of transmission capacity. Answer: packet switching packet switching packet switching To

A protocol is concerned with exchanging data between two entities. Answer: T T T In 1994 the Internet Architecture Board issued a report titled "Security in the Internet Architecture" that stated that the general consensus was that the Internet was secure and there were no areas of security concern. Answer: F F F The IP address provides a way of

The disadvantage of fixed routing is ________.
