Questions and Answers

What is the primary reason why throughput usually does not match the specified bandwidth in physical layer implementations?

  • As a result of the amount of traffic being transmitted
  • Because of many factors, including latency created by network devices (correct)
  • Due to the type of traffic being transmitted
  • Due to the goodput being higher than the throughput

What is goodput, in relation to throughput?

  • The product of throughput and traffic overhead
  • The difference between throughput and traffic overhead (correct)
  • The ratio of throughput to traffic overhead
  • The sum of throughput and traffic overhead

What is a common type of physical media interface found on a 1941 router?

  • Fiber optic interface
  • RJ-45 interface (correct)
  • Coaxial interface
  • Serial interface
