Even though to the business, they have a “dedicated” link, the link is provisioned by going through man facilities in ATT’s network including shared fiber optic cables. This link is an example of (___) circuit switched or (___) packet switched?

     

  6. When you make a land line telephone call, this is an example of (___) circuit switched or (___) packet switched?

     

  7. DSL and Dial-up both use the same twisted pair wire coming into a home or office. Why is DSL preferred? ___________________________

  11. Of the four sources of delay, which one becomes much longer on satellite links? _______________________________

  13. Match:_____ The cable to homes used for A. Coaxial cable POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) B. Twisted pair _____ The cable to homes which can carry TV, Internet, and phone C. Satellite link _____ The cable used by carriers for D. Fiber optic long distance communication between major routers.

     

  14. If you have a wireless access point in your room, your computer sends data to it wirelessly, That wireless router than plugs into the Ethernet port.
