Why cant routers forward packets as fast as bridges can?
It is a fact that bridges forward packets faster when compared to routers. Because router takes time to find the shortest path between source and destination,whereas bridges directly forwards the packets.
What does simply put routers do?
Route packets
Sophisticated networks generally use which of the following hardware devices to ease the flow of data packets throughout the network?
Modern networks used two devices for the data packets within the network will flow easily. The two devices are the routers and switches.
Why is UDP considered unreliable?
Routers Drop a lot of UDP packets
What are four ways a routing loop can happen?
A routing loop can occur due to several reasons: Configuration Errors: Incorrectly configured routing protocols or static routes can lead to loops when routers mistakenly believe they have better paths to the same destination. Link Failures: If a network link fails and the routers do not promptly update their routing tables, packets may be sent in circles between routers. Slow Convergence: In dynamic routing protocols, slow convergence times can result in temporary loops as routers continue to forward packets based on outdated information. Routing Protocol Mismatches: Inconsistent routing protocol configurations across routers can lead to conflicting information, creating loops as packets are continuously forwarded between routers.
What displays a list of the routers that are currently forwarding packets to a particular destination?
Tracert.exe
Where can I find a do-it-yourself book on Bridges and Routers?
The DD-WRT forums has a plethora of information making your own routers and bridges. Be warned that it can be difficult, but very rewarding once completed.
Why dont routers forward broadcast?
The function of a router is to switch and filter packets, and to route traffic between different networks, thereby reducing the size of "collision zones". Broadcast zones are basically all that define a network. Therefore, if a router were to forward broadcasts, it would actually be joining the two networks together into one larger network, which, aside from security implications, would create a giant collision zone and reduce network performance.
Which company provides the best customer support for bridges and routers?
Buffalo provides great support for their routers. In addition, their routers are very flexible and easy to modify.
What is the utility that displays a list of the routers currently forwarding packets to a particular destination is called?
tracert.exe
What is PPS-4 in microprocessor?
Packets per second - In networking, the amount of packets a device can process per second. Packets per second (pps) is a measure of throughput for network devices such as bridges, routers, and switches. It's a reliable measurement only if all packet sizes are the same. Vendors will often rate their equipment based on pps, but make sure comparisons are made using the same packet sizes.
Is Cisqo Systems still the best company for bridges and routers?
Cisco Systems is mainly a business to business company. Their consumer division, Linksys, would make bridges and routers more appropiate for home use.
