Which of the following is a common benefit of SD-WAN over traditional WAN?

It requires dedicated MPLS circuits for all connections.

It eliminates the need for any encryption.

It provides centralized management and dynamic path selection.

It only works with a single internet service provider.

What is the primary purpose of a Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN)?

To simplify WAN management and improve performance by using software to control connectivity.

To provide a centralized controller for data center switches.

To encrypt all data at rest in the network.

To replace the need for firewalls in a network.

Which of the following is a characteristic of a peer-to-peer (P2P) network?

Network security is centrally managed by an administrator.

A dedicated server provides centralized control and resources.

All computers have equal status and can act as both clients and servers.

Which of the following is a similarity between the OSI and TCP/IP models?

Both models were developed by the same organization.

Both models have exactly the same number of layers.

Both models use a layered approach to networking.

Both models include a dedicated Presentation layer.

A network architect is comparing the OSI and TCP/IP models to decide which to use as a reference for a new security policy documentation. The architect notes that the OSI model separates specific functions into distinct layers, while the TCP/IP model combines them. Which OSI layers are combined into the TCP/IP application layer?
