- 100Mbps; 1,000Mbps (1Gig); 10,000Mbps (10Gig)
- 100Mbps; 2,000Mbps (2Gig); 10,000Mbps (10Gig)
- 200kbps; 1,000Mbps (2Gig); 100,000Mbps (10Gig)
8. Using current technology, IP addresses are associated with:
- Asymmetric bandwidth
- Static and dynamic addressing
- Subnet masking
- Symmetric bandwidth
9. CCTV surveillance security systems are typically and manually assigned:
