The device will continue receiving the streaming video, but there may be a momentary disruption. Explain: When TCP is used as the transport protocol, data must be received in a specific sequence or all data must be fully received in order for it to be used. TCP will use sequence numbers, acknowledgments and retransmission to accomplish this. However, when UDP is used as the transport protocol, data that arrives out of order or with missing segments may cause a momentary disruption, but the destination device may still be able to use the data that it has received. This technology results in the least amount of network delay by providing minimal reliability. Since live streaming video applications use UDP as the transport protocol, the receiver will continue showing the video although there may be a slight delay or reduction in quality.

A host device is receiving live streaming video. How does the device account for video data that is lost during transmission? 1. The device will immediately request a retransmission of the missing data. 2. The device will use sequence numbers to pause the video stream until the correct data arrives. 3. The device will delay the streaming video until the entire video stream is received. 4. The device will continue receiving the streaming video, but there may be a momentary disruption.

multiplexing Explain: Multiplexing is useful for interleaving multiple communication streams. Window size is used to slow down the rate of data communication.

spoofing/poisoning

ARP _______ is a technique that is used to send fake ARP messages to other hosts in the LAN. The aim is to associate IP addresses to the wrong MAC addresses.

stateless DHCPv6 Explain: Stateless DHCPv6 allows clients to use ICMPv6 Router Advertisement (RA) messages to automatically assign IPv6 addresses to themselves, but then allows these clients to contact a DHCPv6 server to obtain additional information such as the domain name and address of DNS servers. SLAAC does not allow the client to obtain additional information through DHCPv6, and stateful DHCPv6 requires that the client receive its interface address directly from a DHCPv6 server. RA messages, when combined with an EUI-64 interface identifier, are used to automatically create an interface IPv6 address, and are part of both SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6.

An administrator wants to configure hosts to automatically assign IPv6 addresses to themselves by the use of Router Advertisement messages, but also to obtain the DNS server address from a DHCPv6 server. Which address assignment method should be configured? 1. SLAAC 2. stateless DHCPv6 3. stateful DHCPv6 4. RA and EUI-64

It eliminates most address configuration errors. It reduces the burden on network support staff. Explain: DHCP is generally the preferred method of assigning IP addresses to hosts on large networks because it reduces the burden on network support staff and virtually eliminates entry errors. However, DHCP itself does not discriminate between authorized and unauthorized devices and will assign configuration parameters to all requesting devices. DHCP servers are usually configured to assign addresses from a subnet range, so there is no guarantee that every device that needs an address will get one.

Which two reasons generally make DHCP the preferred method of assigning IP addresses to hosts on large networks? (Choose two.) 1. It eliminates most address configuration errors. 2. It ensures that addresses are only applied to devices that require a permanent address. 3. It guarantees that every device that needs an address will get one. 4. It provides an address only to devices that are authorized to be connected to the network. 5. It reduces the burden on network support staff.

Capture traffic on the weekends when most employees are off work. 2. Only capture traffic in the areas of the network that receive most of the traffic such as the data center. 3. Capture traffic during peak utilization times to get a good representation of the different traffic types. 4. Perform the capture on different network segments. 5. Only capture WAN traffic because traffic to the web is responsible for the largest amount of traffic on a network.

1. Give the router a host name and domain name. 3. Generate a set of secret keys to be used for encryption and decryption. Explain: There are four steps to configure SSH on a Cisco router. First, set the host name and domain name. Second, generate a set of RSA keys to be used for encrypting and decrypting the traffic. Third, create the user IDs and passwords of the users who will be connecting. Lastly, enable SSH on the vty lines on the router. SSH does not need to be set up on any physical interfaces, nor does an external authentication server need to be used. While it is a good idea to configure a banner to display legal information for connecting users, it is not required to enable SSH.​
