Router Interface Decision

Routers use the destination IP address of a packet to determine the correct interface for forwarding.

IPS Sensor Function

An Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) sensor analyzes network traffic to identify and block potential threats.

Ad Hoc WLAN

An ad hoc wireless LAN allows direct communication between wireless clients without a central access point.

Client-Server Architecture

A client-server architecture uses a central server to manage resources shared among clients.

Study Notes

Router Packet Forwarding

A router uses the packet's destination IP address to determine the correct interface for forwarding a packet.

Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) Sensor Function

An IPS sensor's primary function is analyzing and blocking potential network threats.

Ad Hoc Wireless LAN Characteristics

Ad hoc wireless LANs involve direct communication between wireless clients, using mesh nodes for traffic routing.

Client-Server vs. Peer-to-Peer Architectures

Client-server architectures rely on a server for resource sharing, while peer-to-peer architectures allow direct communication between multiple devices.

Hypervisor Types

A type 1 (native or bare metal) hypervisor runs directly on the server's hardware.
