Device performance on a backbone network will not be improved by:
A) using the same protocols in the backbone and the LANs
B) using static routing in low to moderate traffic conditions
C) ensuring that backbone devices have sufficient memory so that packets do not have to be retransmitted by the sender
D) translating packets from one protocol to another as they enter the BN
E) none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Translating packets from one protocol to another as they enter the backbone network can introduce delay and decrease performance. It is better to use a homogeneous protocol throughout the network if possible. The other choices, A, B, and C, all can improve device performance on a backbone network.
