Study Guide - DRSEnt Chapter 1 - CCNA Discovery: Introducing Routing and

Switching in the Enterprise (Version 4.0)

1 Which two statements are reasons why UDP is used for voice and video traffic instead of TCP? (Choose two.)
TCP requires all data packets to be delivered for the data to be usable.

The acknowledgment process of TCP introduces delays that break the streams of data.

UDP does not have mechanisms for retransmitting lost packets.

UDP tolerates delays and compensates for them.

TCP is a connectionless protocol that provides end-to-end reliability.

UDP is a connection-oriented protocol that provides end-to-end reliability.

2 Why is TCP the preferred Layer 4 protocol for transmitting data files?
TCP is more reliable than UDP because it requires lost packets to be retransmitted.

TCP requires less processing by the source and destination hosts than UDP.

UDP introduces delays that degrade the quality of the data applications.

TCP ensures fast delivery because it does not require sequencing or acknowledgements.

4 What is the purpose of the Cisco Enterprise Architecture?
remove the three-layer hierarchical model and use a flat network approach

divide the network into functional components while still maintaining the concept of Core, Distribution, and Access Layers
provide services and functionality to the core layer by grouping various components into a single component located in the
layer
reduce overall network traffic by grouping server farms, the management server, corporate intranet, and e-commerce rout
 same layer
