Questions and Answers

Which type of network allows end nodes to send data to one or more end nodes?

  • Switched networks (correct)
  • Dedicated circuit networks
  • Broadcast networks
  • Communication networks

    • What is the main difference between circuit switching and packet switching?

  • Circuit switching establishes a common channel for end nodes to share, while packet switching establishes a pre-established path
  • Circuit switching requires resources to be reserved during setup, while packet switching does not (correct)
  • Circuit switching uses discrete portions of data, while packet switching uses a dedicated communication path
  • Circuit switching is used in virtual circuit networks, while packet switching is used in datagram networks

    • What is the main characteristic of virtual circuit networks?

  • Each packet is switched independently
  • End nodes share a common channel
  • A dedicated communication path is established between end nodes (correct)
  • Data is sent in discrete portions

    • What type of network uses a dedicated circuit per call?
