Network Routing | MCQs

Explanation

Point-to-point: Connects exactly two nodes, creating a single link between the host and the destination.

Broadcast: Sends data to all nodes in a network.

Multicast: Sends data to a specific group of nodes.

Anycast: Sends data to the nearest or best destination among a group.

Explanation

• OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) establishes route adjacencies on point-to-point links, but does not perform the DR (Designated Router)/BDR (Backup Designated Router) election process on these links.
• This is because point-to-point links only have two routers connected, so there is no need for a DR or BDR.
