____________________ routing refers to any type of routing that is based on factors other than the selection of the "shortest path."

Initially, switches handled frames using a technique called ____.

Describe the Exterior Gateway Protocol.

Each switched port operating in a separate collision domain may contain a maximum size Ethernet network of ____ nodes.

The MAC address and port number are stored in a special high-speed memory called ____.

Ethernet frames contain a source MAC address and a destination MAC address.

The ____ algorithm is a type of routing algorithm that is based on the number of hops in a route between a source and destination computer.

A ____ is essentially a switch and a router combined into one package.

The ____ is an OSI protocol that specifies how routers communicate with routers in different domains.

Routing on the Internet is based on the individual networks that are called _________________________.

When all of the stations in a LAN are connected to a switched port, the network is called a totally or fully switched network.

The ____ is a link-state routing protocol based on IS-IS.

Discuss the difference between hubs versus switches.

Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) allows for faster, cheaper IP routers based on Ethernet technology.

Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) was initially developed to recover many of the unused addresses in class A and class C networks.

List four benefits of either replacing the campus or corporate routers with layer 3 switches or adding layer 3 switching to a router-less network.

Integrated IS-IS is a routing protocol based on the TCP routing protocol.
