Networking: IP Routing Process

Play an AI-generated podcast conversation about this lesson

What happens when two devices on a shared network segment send packets simultaneously?

The packets are prioritized based on IP addresses

The packets collide and must be sent again (correct)

The packets merge into one and reach the destination twice as fast

The packets are discarded if they are not encrypted

In which type of network device do all ports belong to the same collision domain?

Router

Bridge

Switch

Hub (correct)

How does a bridge, switch, or router differ from a hub in terms of collision domains?

They create virtual collision domains

There are no collision domains in these devices

All ports share the same collision domain

Each port is in a separate collision domain (correct)
