What else can I help you with?
What technology takes packets and breaks them out into smaller packets and send them over the network?
packet switching
How will a broadcast frame that is sent by a host PC be handled on the net?
The broadcast will be received by all devices in the same network, but will not be forwarded outside the network (routers do not forward broadcast messages). So for the Internet, for example, you do not see broadcast packets.
Which defensive measures can you take to mitigate the possibility that your network could be used in this type of attack?
1. Filter packets leaving your network with source addresses that do not originate inside your network. 2. Filter packets entering your network with a broadcast address for a destination
What do you mean by switching technique?
There are ways in which packets are filtered and fowarded through the network.1.circuit switching2.message switching3.packet switching4.cell switching
Which tasks result in processing delays when the packets of an audio transmission are transmitted over a packet-switching network?
Compression Encoding
What is the effect of a router on delimiting broadcast traffic and conserving bandwidth?
Generally speaking, routers will unicast-forward incoming packets which have a network broadcast address as destination, unless they are directly connected to that network/subnet and therefore know that the destination address is a broadcast address
What are the advantages to dividing networks into subnets?
The advantages are:Security - packets must be routed between subnetsPerformance - packets will stay within their own subnet for the most partTroubleshooting - it is easier to find a problem in a smaller network than a large one.
What is the difference between b-isdn and n-isdn?
B-ISDN is a circuit switching process. The N-ISDN is a virtual switching process (packets). ISDN stands for Integrated Service Digital Network.
What facts are true about the network portion of an IPv4 address?

How does frame relay work?
Frame Relay is a packet-switching technology. It works by sending information in packets, which are called frames, through a shared frame-relay network.
