2A Review Questions Flashcards
What types of routes are designed to work well where network traffic is extremely predictable and network design is relatively simple?
Static Routes
______ Routes use algorithms to build and maintain routing tables that adjust to changing topology.
Dynamic Routes
Protocols such as RIP, IGRP, EIGRP, OSPF and BGP are classified as?
Dynamically Learned Routes
Refers to the available traffic capacity of a link?
Bandwidth
Refers to the length of time required move a packet from source to destination through the internetwork.
Delay
Some companies may not care about performance as much as they care about operating expenditures.
Communication Cost
The most common routing Metric.
Path Length AKA Hop Count
Refers to the dependability of each network link.
Reliability
Refers to the Degree to which a network resource, such as a router, is busy
Load
What is meant by the term classless routing?
That it is a hierarchical algorithms structure and its supports Variable Length Subnet Masks (VLSM)
Which classification of algorithm is used with Interior Gateway Protocols?
Intra-Domain
Distance vector algorithms build routing tables by using ______ messages to and from their neighbors only.
Broadcast Routing Update
A disadvantage of distance vector algorithms is they are limited by ___________ making them unusable for large networks.
Hop Count
Which algorithm sends multicast messages to notify routers about the status of their connect links?
Link State
What are three classes of routing protocols?
Distance Vector, Link State, Balanced Hybrid
Which is considered a pure distance vector protocol?
RIP
What is the algorithm used by OSPF?
Shortest Path First
