SHORT ANSWER
ANS:
A token-passing network sends the token from node to node in a prescribed order. So it doesn't
matter how the physical connection is made. It still works like a token-passing ring.
ANS:
A hub sends incoming packets out to all other ports on the hub. A switch sends a packet to a
specific port based on the address in the packet.
ANS:
If the central computer in a star network fails, the entire network is inoperative. If a node fails in
a CSMA/CD network, it can be disconnected and the network still functions.
ANS:
If a packet is too short, nodes at either end of a cable could get on, send a packet, and get off
before the packets travel far enough to collide. The collision would not be detected.
ANS:
The address is a long binary number "burned" into a NIC's memory chip at the factory. Each
factory uses a different sequence of numbers, so the chances of two NICs on the same network
having the same address is extremely small.
