4: Alternate routing and diverse Routing

Question 1

Alternate Routing:

Answer 1

Alternative routing is the method of routing information via an alternative medium, such as copper cable or fiber optics

Question 2

Two types of alternate routing

Answer 2

Last mile circuit protection and long haul network diversity.

Question 3

Last mile circuit protection:

Answer 3

Last mile circuit protection provides redundancy for local communication loop.

Question 4

Long haul network diversity:

Answer 4

Long haul network diversity provides redundancy for long distance availability.

Question 5

Diverse Routing:

Answer 5

Diverse routing is the method of routing traffic through split-cable facilities or duplicate cable facilities

Question 6

Difference between alternate routing and diverse routing:

Answer 6

Diverse is routing traffic through split-cables facilities or duplicate facilities Whereas the method of routing information via an alternative medium, such as copper cable or fiber optics is called alternate routing.

Question 7

(1)An organization is routing traffic through split -cable or duplicate-cable facilities. This arrangement is called:

A. Diverse routing
B. Alternate routing
C. Gateway
D.Bridge

Answer 7

Answer: A. Diverse routing

Explanation:
The method of routing traffic through split-cable facilities or duplicate-cable facilities is called
diverse routing. Alternative routing is the method of routing information via an alternative medium, such as copper cable or fiber optics. Gateway and Bridge is used for network extension.

Question 8

(2)Use of redundant combinations (local carrier lines, microwaves and/or coaxial cables) to access
local communication loop is known as:

A.last-mile circuit protection
B.long-haul network diversity
C.diverse routing
D.alternative routing

Answer 8

Answer: A.last-mile circuit protection

Explanation:
Use of redundant combinations (local carrier lines, microwaves and/or coaxial cables) to access
local communication loop is known as last mile circuit protection. The method of providing
telecommunication continuity through the use of redundant combinations to access the local
communication loop in the event of a disaster is called last-mile circuit protection. Long haul
network diversity ensures long distance availability. The method of routing traffic through splitcable
facilities or duplicate cable facilities is called diverse routing. Alternative routing is the method of routing information via an alternative medium such as copper cable or fiber optics.

Question 9

(3)Method of routing information via an alternative medium, such as copper cable or fiber optics is called:

A. Diverse routing
B. Alternate routing
C. Gateway
D.Bridge

Answer 9

Answer: B. Alternate routing

Explanation:
Alternative routing is the method of routing information via an alternative medium, such as copper
cable or fiber optics. The method of routing traffic through split-cable facilities or duplicate-cable facilities is called diverse routing. Gateway and Bridge is used for network extension.
