What is OSI Model?
(TCP/IP Model is okay)
This protocol data unit occurs at layer 3 of the OSI model and can be found in IP networks.
What is a packet?
This Cisco developed protocol can be used by routers to tunnel information between geographically separated sites.
What is GRE?
(Generic Routing Encapsulation)
This protocol maps IP addresses to the physical machine address (MAC) in a network.
What is ARP?
(Address Resolution Protocol)

RFC 1519 unveiled this method for allocating IP addresses to replace "classful" routing, helping to slow the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses.
What is CIDR?
(Classless Inter-Domain Routing)
This unit for data transmission is found at the data link layer, and is commonly associated with switches.
What is a frame?
This exterior gateway protocol is used by routers at the site edge and is primarily used to route into public internet.
What is BGP?
(Border Gateway Protocol)
This protocol allows multiple devices to share one IP address, so they can all receive the same data.
