31 Questions
What is the next hop for a packet when the destination is on the same network as the source?
Destination IP
What information is used in a routing table to match the destination IP to the network ID?
Network address
What determines the routing decision based on cost?
Congestion
Which metric indicates the delay in processing a packet over a given route?
Latency
What does the network mask in a routing table represent?
Match the destination IP to the network ID
In host routing, what is used as the next hop when the destination is connected to the same network as the source?
Destination IP
What happens to bandwidth as network traffic increases?
Decreases
What does a default route indicate when a specific network ID or host address is not found?
Use the destination 0.0.0.0 with subnet mask 0.0.0.0
What is the purpose of dynamic routing?
Adjust routes based on network changes and failures
What is the role of routers in observing attached links?
Report interface errors
What is the purpose of maximum transmission unit (MTU)?
Fragment large packets
What are some problems associated with static routing as networks grow?
Delivery failure due to link failures
How do routers build their routing tables in dynamic routing?
By exchanging information with other routers
What is the significance of longest mask matching in routing tables?
Sorts routing table entries based on longest masks first
How does the MTU impact packet transmission?
It determines the optimal packet size for fragmentation
Routing tables contain the destination address and the corresponding port.
True
Host routing is used when the destination is on the same network as the source.
True
Indirect delivery is used when the destination and the source are on the same network.
False
The routing decision is based on the least cost path.
True
Network mask is used to match the destination IP to the network ID in a routing table.
True
The next hop address in a routing table indicates the address of the next router to which the packet is delivered.
True
Bandwidth decreases as network traffic increases.
True
Routers report problems such as link failures and interface errors to determine reliability.
True
The default route is used when a specific network ID or host address is not found.
True
Static routing is easy to troubleshoot due to low overhead and no run time updates.
True
Dynamic routing requires updating and calculating to find the best routes.
True
The longest mask matching principle sorts the routing table from the longest mask to the shortest mask.
True
If a packet arrives for network 4 with IP 140.24.7.200, it will be routed correctly from interface m1.
True
If a /24 subnet mask was before a /26 subnet mask in the routing table, a packet for network 4 with IP 140.24.7.200 would be sent back to the sender through m0.
True
Dynamic routing can adapt to network changes such as adding or removing devices and changing device locations.
True
Bandwidth remains constant regardless of network traffic.
False
Test your knowledge about the process of moving a packet of data from source to destination using routers, direct and indirect delivery, routing tables, and more.
