Why we need routing in a network?
To determine the optimal route for data to travel, networks employ a system called routing. Network routing examines every possible path that data can take across a network and chooses the route that the data will take. Routing is important for networks to get data where it needs to go as quickly as possible.
What are the different types of routing protocol explain each of them?
Each of the following is classified as an IGP: Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)
What are the modes of wireless networking?
§Types of Wireless Networks
| Type | Range | Standards |
|---|---|---|
| Personal area network (PAN) | Within reach of a person | Bluetooth, ZigBee, NFC |
| Local area network (LAN) | Within a building or campus | IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) |
| Metropolitan area network (MAN) | Within a city | IEEE 802.15 (WiMAX) |
| Wide area network (WAN) | Worldwide | Cellular (UMTS, LTE, etc.) |
How is traffic routed on the Internet?
The information used to get packets to their destinations are contained in routing tables kept by each router connected to the Internet. Routers are packet switches. A router is usually connected between networks to route packets between them. Each router knows about it’s sub-networks and which IP addresses they use.
What does it mean to route traffic?
verb [usually passive] If vehicles, goods, or passengers are routed in a particular direction, they are made to travel in that direction.
What are the main routing protocols?
7 types of routing protocols
- Routing information protocol (RIP)
- Interior gateway protocol (IGRP)
- Enhanced interior gateway routing protocol (EIGRP)
- Open shortest path first (OSPF)
- Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP)
- Border gateway protocol (BGP)
- Immediate system-to-immediate system (IS-IS)
What is faster 802.11 N or G?
In basic terms, 802.11n is faster than 802.11g, which itself is faster than the earlier 802.11b. On the company website, Apple explains that 802.11n offers “greater performance, more range, and improved reliability”. Up to five times the performance and up to twice the range compared to the earlier 802.11g standard.
What is meant by Internet traffic?
Internet traffic is the flow of data within the entire Internet, or in certain network links of its constituent networks.
