B. diverse routing.
C. redundancy.
D. circular routing.
Answer / guest
Answer: B
Diverse routing is the method of routing traffic through
split cable facilities or duplicate cable facilities, which
can be accomplished with different/duplicate cable sheaths.
Alternative routing is the method of routing information via
an alternative medium like copper cable or fiber optics.
Redundancy involves providing extra capacity, with an option
to use such excess capacity in the event the primary
transmission capability is not available. Circular routing
is the logical path of a message in a communication network
based on a series of gates at the physical network layer in
the open system interconnection.
