100

Routing tables that are manually set and do not change are called this

Static routing

100

This protocol uses hop count to determine best path

RIP

100

This multiplexing gives each user a time slot

TDM

100

This network covers a single building

LAN

100

This is a common audio compression format

MP3

200

This type of routing automatically updates when the network changes

Dynamic routing

200

This protocol has a maximum of 15 hops

RIP

200

This device separates combined signals at the receiving end

Demultiplexor

200

This network covers a city

MAN

200

This is commonly used for video compression

MPEG

300

This type of routing is set once and never updated

Static routing

300

This protocol calculates more efficient paths than RIP

OSPF

300

This multiplexing assigns different frequencies to users

FDM

300

This network can span the entire Earth

WAN

300

This type of compression does NOT lose data

Lossless compression

400

This routing method can increase network traffic due to updates

Dynamic routing

400

This protocol is used across the Internet between autonomous systems

BGP

400

This multiplexing uses different wavelengths of light

WDM

400

This network design is commonly used in WANs

Mesh

400

This compression replaces repeated data with a count

Run-length encoding

500

This algorithm finds the least-cost path through a network

Dijkstra’s least-cost algorithm

500

This type of protocol monitors links and hop counts to destinations

Distance-vector protocol

500

This multiplexing is best for devices that do not transmit continuously

Statistical TDM

500

WANs are made up of these and communication links

Nodes

500

This compression method is lossless and used in many tools
