24
Q

What are the 4 most common packet switching technologies used today?

A

Metro Ethernet
Frame Relay
x.25
ATM

25
Solve for the definition of a packet-switched technology: This technology uses IP aware ethernet switches in the service provider's network cloud to offer enterprises converged voice, data, and video services at ethernet speeds
Metro Ethernet
26
Solve for the definition of a packet-switched technology: Can carry any payload including IPv4 and IPv6, ethernet, ATM, DSL and frame relay traffic. Used labels inside the service providers network to identify paths between distant routers instead of between endpoints. This technology actually routes IPv4 and IPv6 packets, but everything else is switched
MPLS (Multiprotocol label switching)
27
What does DSL stand for?
Digital subscriber line
28
What are 4 wireless technologies that allows users to connect to the internet from almost any location?
WiMAX Municipal Wifi Satellite Internet Cellular
29
Solve for the description of the WAN link connection type: Point-to-point connection between two LANs
Leased Line
30
Solve for the description of the WAN link connection type: Dedicated circuit path created between two endpoints. Most notably, dial up
Circuit switching
31
Solve for the description of the WAN link connection type: Devices transporting packets via a shared single point-to-point or point-to-multipoint link across a carrier internetwork
Packet switching
32
Solve for the description of the WAN link connection type: Connectionless packet switching using the internet as the WAN infrastructure
Internet
33
What is the standard used in North America for service provider optical fiber networks?
SONET
34
What does PPPoE stand for and what deployments is it typically used for?
Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet normally used in DSL deployments
35
What does DWDM stand for and what does it do?
Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing Combines multiple optical signals into one signal transmitted over a single fiber strand
36
____________ allows more capacity to be added to existing infrastructure without expensive upgrades and allows more capacity to be added to existing infrastructure
DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing)
37
What does **FTTx** stand for?
**Fiber to the X:** Home Premises Building Neighborhood
38
Identify the topology based on the scenario: Simplistic, centralized security policy with one router being the hub that all traffic flows through for other sites
Hub and Spoke
39
**Identify the topology based on the scenario:** Removes the single point of failure by adding another hub to the topology, yet all traffic from other sites still flow these centralized hubs
Redundant Hub and Spoke
40
**Identify the topology based on the scenario:** All sites have a direct path to every other site resulting in optimal traffic flow
Full Mesh
41
**Identify the topology based on the scenario:** Similar to Hub and Spoke but one spoke site has connectivity to another through a leased line rather than having to go to the hub to get where it needs to go
Partial Mesh
42
**Identify this internet redundancy option:** Single service provider router to a customer router
Single Homed
43
**Identify this internet redundancy option:** Two service provider routers to two customer routers
Dual Homed
44
**Identify this internet redundancy option:** Two separate service providers and their routers going to the same customer's routers
Multi-homed
45
**Identify this internet redundancy option:** Full mesh of two separate service providers going to two customer routers
Dual Multi-homed
