Module C / Networking Flashcards
(T/F) Multiplexing is a technology used to combine multiple protocols together.
True
What are the two main types of multiplexing?
Format: (xx and xx)
Digital and Analog
Which multiplexing method uses various frequencies to combine streams of data?
Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM)
What WAN protocol consists of Balanced and Unbalanced configurations?
HDLC (High-Level Data Link Control)
In what WAN circuit is the transmission path cleared prior to data being sent, and upon completion, the path is destroyed/no longer used.
Circuit Switching
In a ___ circuit, you create a small WAN that has a central switch in which all data goes through.
Metro Ethernet
What WAN Circuit uses fragmentation to deliver traffic?
Packet Switching
______ is a WAN protocol that is seen in use for Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint networks.
HDLC (High-Level Data Link Control)
______ data is broken up into smaller packets, and can be sent down different routes to the same destination.
Packet Switched
What service was made in order to speed up the transmissions of packets, namely by not relying on network protocols to perform encapsulation for it?
Frame Relay
____ protocol has three layers of operation, with the most important being the Data Link Layer
X.25
_____ is a newer, and more expensive, way to send packets. It has pre-set routes which are called “Labels”.
MPLS
In PPP, the ___ component has control over the state of the transmission link
Link Control Protocol
What WAN circuit involves multiple branches, in which there is no “main hub”, and traffic can route directly from any two branches, due to each branch having multiple connections?
Multipoint to Multipoint
What protocol discussed utilizes congestion notifications for traffic?
Frame Relay
