Network Architecture

Question 1

four basic characteristics that network architects must address to meet user expectations:

Answer 1

Fault Tolerance
Scalability
Quality of Service (QoS)
Security

Question 2

Fault Tolerance

Answer 2

A fault tolerant network is one that limits the number of affected devices during a failure. It is built to allow quick recovery when such a failure occurs.

Question 3

Scalability

Answer 3

A scalable network expands quickly to support new users and applications. It does this without degrading the performance of services that are being accessed by existing users.

Question 4

Quality of Service

Answer 4

. New applications available to users over networks, such as voice and live video transmissions, create higher expectations for the quality of the delivered services.

Question 5

Network Security

Answer 5

two types of network security concerns: network infrastructure security and information security.

Securing the network infrastructure includes physically securing devices that provide network connectivity and preventing unauthorized access to the management software that resides on them
