MAC address level.
b) A bridge can't see any address types, but passes everything further on.
c) A router operates at layer 3 of the OSI model and therefore typically works on
the IP address level.

Part 4 - Local Network Operating Systems - 4 questions
Question 18 - Why do we spread the parity information across all the disks in
RAID level 5?
a) Because we want as good security as possible, and if a parity disk crashes, the
entire network goes down.
b) Because it speeds up reading from the system by being able to read incorrect
data from all disks.
c) Because it speeds up the writing to the system since the bottleneck of writing
parity data is gone.
d) Because it provides better storage capacity than storing all the parity data to
one disk.
Answer:
None in my opinion. A RAID 5 array can withstand a single drive failure without
losing data or access to data, due to the spread of the parity information across all
the disks.
Question 19 - Which of the following measures for increased fault tolerance in
the network?
a) Fast SCSI disk
b) RAID 0
c) RAID 5
d) Striping of data
Answer:
c) RAID 5

a) Because it provides better security since it secures that files are not passed to
third parties.
b) Because a file server is working a lot with I/0.
c) Because a server is working with heavy calculations.
d) I/0 optimization is not more important than other things in normal network
Answer:
b) Because a file server is working a lot with I/0.
Question 21 - Which of these methods I hardware components cannot be called
I/O optimization?
