c. expanded addressing capabilities Correct
d. addressing simplificationsWhich statement describes the purpose of a default route? - Select one:

b. to forward data to the local switch as the next hop to all destinations.
c. to transfer data to another host on the same network segment.
d. to transfer data to a host outside the local network when no other route to the destination exists. Correct
e. to send packets whose destination address is unknown - In Stop-and-Wait, deadlock can be avoided by the sender side doing retransmit-on-timeout while the receiver does not do retransmissions.

b. Layer 2
c. Layer 3
d. Layer 4 Correct
e. Layer 5 - The Split Horizon fix to the slow-convergence problem prevents all linear routing loops.
Select one:
True Correct
False - If an IPv4 address has all 1-bits for the host bits, it is of type:
Select one:

Select one:
a. Sequencing
b. Flow Control
c. Acknowledgement
d. Urgent data flag
e. Source and Destination Port Correct - BGP implements policy through filtering rules which allow rejection of certain routes at three different stages. Which of the following is NOT one of those stages?
Select one:
