CSU
Your company has decided to order ADSL from its local telecommunications carrier.
You call the carrier and find out that your office is located 17,000 feet from the nearest central office. Given ADSL’s potential throughput and your distance from the central office, what is the maximum downstream throughput you can realistically expect to achieve through this connection?
2 Mbps
(Note: This applies to “Full Rate” ADSL, whose maximum potential downstream throughput is 8 Mbps.)
Which of the following is the most popular communications protocol for dial-up
networking connections to an ISP?
PPP
You have decided to set up a VPN between your home and your friend’s home so that you can run a private digital telephone line over your DSL connections. Each of you has purchased a small Cisco router for terminating the VPN endpoints. Which of the following protocols could you use to create a tunnel between these two routers?
L2TP
A VPN is designed to connect 15 film animators and programmers from around the state of California. At the core of the VPN is a router connected to a high performance server used for storing the animation files. The server and router are housed in an ISP’s data center. The ISP provides two different T3 connections to the Internet backbone. What type of connection must each of the animators and programmers have to access the VPN?
any type of Internet connection
What is the function of a redirector?
to determine whether a request is meant for the client CPU or the server
Which of the following must be installed on a Windows XP client workstation for it to be able to log on to a Windows Server 2003 server? (Choose all that apply.)
b. Microsoft Client for Networks
d. the TCP/IP protocol
. What are the three tiers in a 3-tier architecture?
c. client, middleware, server
