41. Briefly describe the three types of switching methods.
ANSWER:
Cut-through switching is the fastest; it reads the destination MAC address and sends the
frame out. Store-and-forward switching is the slowest; it stores the entire message and then
sends it to the correct port. Fragment-free switching is the middle man; it reads enough to
make sure the packet is not fragmented and then sends it out.

50. What is BGP and how is it used?
ANSWER:
BGP is classified as an exterior gateway protocol used to route packets between autonomous
systems. BGP is a path-vector routing protocol, which analyzes the characteristics of all
autonomous systems lying in the path between the router and each destination network so
that it can form a nonlooping routing topology. BGP is used between ISPs, but it can also be
used on border routers of large organizations’ networks.
