The two basic approaches to construct a forwarding table in a router are called static routing and default routing.

• True

• False

A packet switch does not need to keep complete information about how to reach all possible computers; it only needs to know which outgoing link to use to reach a given switch.

• True

• False

The next-hop forwarding depends on the packet's original source and the path the packet has taken before it arrives at a particular packet switch.

• True

• False

Local Area Network (LAN) technologies were invented after the invention of Wide Area Network (WAN) technologies.

• True

• False

Default routing is optional; a default entry is present only when there is one destination available for a packet to transverse the network.

• True

• False

The goal of a wide area network is to allow as many computers as possible to send packets simultaneously.

• True

• False

The fundamental paradigm used to achieve simultaneous transmission of packets across a network is known as queue and process.

• True

• False

Static routing allows automatically updates when there are major route changes.

• True

• False

In dynamic routing, a program builds an initial forwarding table when a packet switch boots; the program then alters the table as conditions in the network change.

• True

• False

A form of packet routing that sends a complete list of destinations and the current cost of reaching each is called

• Distance Vector Routing

• Link-State Routing

• Broadcast Routing

• Multicast Routing
