QuestionQ361

Concepts of TCP/IP and the Link Layer

Which of the following statements about routers are true?

Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.

  • A Routers do not limit physical broadcast traffic.
  • B Routers organize addresses into classes, which are used to determine how to move packets from one network to another.
  • C Routers act as protocol translators and bind dissimilar networks.
  • D Routers are responsible for making decisions about which of several paths network (or Internet) traffic will follow.
Explanation

Routers use routing information to select the best available path for forwarding traffic toward a destination. Protocol translation is not a router’s general function, and routers normally prevent broadcasts from crossing network boundaries. Cisco documents that the BGP best-path algorithm chooses the path installed in the routing table and used for traffic forwarding.
