What is a disadvantage of a packet-switched network compared to a circuit-switched network?
- A.
Higher cost
- B.
Fixed capacity
- C.
Less flexibility
- D.
Higher latency
Correct Answer
D. Higher latencyExplanation
A disadvantage of a packet-switched network compared to a circuit-switched network is higher latency. In a packet-switched network, data is broken down into packets and sent separately, which can result in delays as the packets are routed through different nodes. On the other hand, in a circuit-switched network, a dedicated communication path is established between the sender and receiver, ensuring a more direct and immediate transmission of data. Therefore, packet-switched networks tend to have higher latency, causing potential delays in data transmission.Rate this question:

What is the function of a QoS trust boundary?
- A.
A trust boundary identifies the location where traffic cannot be remarked.
- B.
A trust boundary identifies which devices trust the marking on packets that enter a network.
- C.
A trust boundary only allows traffic to enter if it has previously been marked.
- D.
A trust boundary only allows traffic from trusted endpoints to enter the network.
Correct Answer
B. A trust boundary identifies which devices trust the marking on packets that enter a network.Explanation
A trust boundary identifies which devices trust the marking on packets that enter a network. This means that when packets enter the network, the trust boundary determines which devices within the network will honor and rely on the markings on those packets. The trust boundary helps ensure that the quality of service (QoS) markings on the packets are respected and maintained as they traverse the network, allowing for effective traffic prioritization and management.Rate this question:
