What is an example of an internal factor that can affect the
quality of network communications?

Correct Your
Response Response
the quality of the pathway between the sender and the recipient
the number of different types of messages that are being transmitted on

the communication network
the number of times the message has to be redirected or readdressed
the size of the message that is being sent

Internal quality of service (QoS) factors are those related to the nature of the message itself,
rather than external factors which relate to the complexity of the network. Because large
messages are often delayed or interrupted at various points in the network, the size of the
message has a direct influence on the quality of communication.

Which function is used to ensure data integrity on a network?

Correct Your
Response Response
encrypting the data
using checksum mechanisms
configuring network firewalls
implementing antivirus software

Data integrity is having the assurance that the data has not be changed as it travels from the source to the destination.
Hashing algorithms can be run on the data before it is sent, then verified at the destination to ensure that the message
has not been altered. Antivirus software and network firewalls help to ensure availability of network resources, and
encrypting data helps ensure the confidentiality of the data.

 1.2.2 Reliable Network
Which expression accurately defines the term

congestion?
Correct Your
Response Response
a method of limiting the impact of a hardware or software

failure on the network
a measure of the data carrying capacity of the network
a state where the demand on the network resources exceeds

the available capacity
a set of techniques to manage the utilization of network

resources
A method of limiting the impact of a hardware or software failure is fault
tolerance. A measure of the data carrying capacity is bandwidth. A set of
techniques to manage the utilization of network resources is QoS.

8 What is a characteristic of circuit-switched networks?

Correct Your
Response Response
If all circuits are busy, a new call cannot be placed.
If a circuit fails, the call will be forwarded on a new path.
Circuit-switched networks can dynamically learn and use

redundant circuits.
A single message can be broken into multiple message

blocks that are transmitted through multiple circuits
simultaneously.
Circuit-switched networks have a finite capacity to create new circuits. It is
possible to occasionally get a message that all circuits are busy and a call cannot
be placed. If a circuit fails, a new circuit has to be created to forward the
message to its destination. All parts of a single message are transmitted using
only one circuit.

9 Which device performs the function of determining the

path that messages should take through
internetworks?
Correct Your
Response Response
a router
a firewall
a web server
a DSL modem
A router is used to determine the path that the messages should take through the
network. A firewall is used to filter incoming and outgoing traffic. A DSL modem is
used to provide Internet connection for a home or an organization.

a connection to the Internet. A wired connection is not
available in the region where the farm is located.
What connection type would be the best option in this
case?
Correct Your
Response Response
satellite
dial-up telephone
DSL
cable
Satellite service can provide a connection when a wired solution is not available.

17 What term describes an Internet connection that

provides T1/E1 or T3/E3 speeds and uses a
dedicated telephone circuit from the service provider
to the customer premises?
Correct Your
Response Response
metro Ethernet
DSL
dial-up
leased line
cable
DSL, while a technology that runs on the phone line, uses a shared telephone
circuit rather than a dedicated one. Likewise, dial-up technology generates on-
demand connections rather than dedicated telephone circuits. Metro Ethernet
and cable technologies do not use the phone line to provide connectivity.

devices in a small geographical area.
Correct Answer: WLAN

WLAN is similar to a LAN, but wirelessly interconnects users and end points in a
small geographical area.
