31
What does a router use to determine the best path for a packet?
پاسخ دهید(C)
The destination IP address in the header.
32
In the context of data transmission, what is a disadvantage of the parity check?

50
Within a data packet, what is the role of the 'payload'?
پاسخ دهید(B)
To hold the actual data being transmitted.
