are migrated onto two separate shared Ethernet segments, each with 50 devices, with a
transparent bridge in between. List two benefits that would be derived for a typical user.
Also, if the placement of devices causes a small percentage of traffic to be forwarded by
the bridge, fewer collisions and less waiting should occur.

assigns in the last 3 bytes, global uniqueness is attained.

has its own 10- or 100-Mbps capacity, allowing more throughput and reducing the
likelihood of collisions. Furthermore, although unlikely to be on the CCNA exam, some
Cisco switches can reduce the flow of multicasts using the Cisco Group Message Protocol
(CGMP).
less latency for an individual frame?
frame but does not check for bit errors in the frame, including errors caused by collisions.
Store-and-forward stores the entire received frame, verifies that the FCS is correct, and
then sends the frame. Cut-through sends the first bytes of the frame out before the last
bytes of the incoming frame have been received. Fragment free is similar to cut-through
in that the frame can be sent before the incoming frame is totally received; however,
fragment-free processing waits to receive the first 64 bytes, to ensure no collisions, before
beginning to forward the frame.
