answer
False
question
In a frame relay WAN, the ISP typically has the data circuit terminating equipment (DCE).
answer
True
question

answer
True
question
DSL signals travel over telephone lines using the 300 to 3300 Hz frequency range.
answer
True
question
DSL services require many subscribers to share the same local line, causing potential security concerns.
answer
False
question
Although MPLS can operate over Ethernet frames, it is more often used with other Layer 2 protocols, like those designed for WANs.
answer
True
question
Most satellites circle the Earth 22,300 miles above the equator in a geosynchronous orbit.
answer
True
question
CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) is an open standard that is accepted and used worldwide.
answer
False
question
The word "synchronous" as used in the name of Synchronous Optical Network means that data being transmitted and received by nodes must conform to a timing scheme.
answer
True
question

answer
24
question
What is the size of an ATM cell, including the header?
answer
53 bytes
question
Which of the following is an advantage of leasing a frame relay circuit over leasing a dedicated circuit?
answer

question
Of all the DSL standards, which is the most commonly in use today?
answer
ADSL
question
What OC level is primarily used as a regional ISP backbone, and occasionally by very large hospitals, universities, or other major enterprises?
answer
OC-48
question
The C-Band utilized by satellites consists of what frequency range?
answer
3.4 - 6.7 GHz
question
In metro settings, end-to-end, carrier-grade Ethernet networks can be established via what protocol?
answer
Carrier Ethernet Transport
question
Which statement regarding the use of cable modems is NOT accurate?
answer
Cable modems only operate at the Physical layer of the OSI model.
question
The T-carrier standards, also called T-CXR standards, utilize what type of multiplexing over two wire pairs to create multiple channels?
answer
time division multiplexing (TDM)
question
On an ATM network, how is the path that data will take determined?
answer
Switches determine the optimal path between sender and receiver, and then establish the path before transmission.
question
What type of virtual circuit allows connections to be established when parties need to transmit, then terminated after the transmission is complete?
answer
switched virtual circuit (SVC)
question
Which of the following Layer 1 WAN technologies is not normally used as last mile service, but rather traverses multiple ISP networks, connecting these networks to the Internet backbone?
answer
SONET (Synchronous Optical Network)
question
Where are MPLS labels placed within a frame?
answer
between the layer 2 header and the layer 3 header
question
What is a data-link connection identifier (DLCI) utilized for?
answer
It is used by routers to determine which circuit to forward a frame to in a frame relay network.
question
Which statement regarding the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technology is accurate?
answer
ATM can provide 4 levels of QoS, from best effort delivery to guaranteed, real-time transmission.
question
The Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) utilizes what technology to create timeslots on a channel?
answer
time division multiple access (TDMA)
question
When using satellite services for your WAN connection, what statement is accurate?
answer
Satellite services suffer more latency and jitter issues.
question
Considering that multiple users occupy the same channel when using CDMA, how are various calls using this technology kept separate?
answer
The packets are coded such that individual calls can be distinguished.

question
With a SIP trunk, what is the only limitation on the number of calls that can run at any one time?
answer
The amount of available bandwidth.

answer
Basic Rate Interface (BRI)
question
In a public switched telephone network, what portion of the network is known as the local loop?
answer
