error handling mechanisms that discard packets full of errors

31
Q

Frame relay operates at which layers of the OSI model?

A

Layer1 and Layer2

32
Q

___ is a data link layer protocol that can be used over either asynchronous serial (dial-up) or synchronous serial (ISDN) media;

33
Q

PPP provides

A

Authentication
compression
error detection

34
Q

___ is a method for encapsulating datagrams over serial links.

A

ATM(asynchronous transfer mode)

37
Q

____a data-carrying mechanism that emulates some properties of a circuit-switched network over a packet-switched network; it’s a switching mechanism that imposes labels (numbers) to packets and then uses them to forward the packets;
