Chapter 7

True/False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

____ 1. Peer-to-peer networks pass packets between multiple networks.

desirability of a particular path.

Multiple Choice

received.
a. rip interval c. hop count

a. ip distance c. adm distance
b. ip route d. adm route
____ 24. A ____ route is a type of static route that the administrator configures.
a. stub c. breakfall
b. hub d. default
