| 6 | Is it possible for a network protocol to guarantee that frames or packets will never be dropped? |
| Answer: | No. |
| 7 | Why do most packet-switching technologies support bandwidth reservation schemes? |
| Answer: | Because it is possible for some end nodes to be starved of bandwidth or be allotted insufficient bandwidth to sustain acceptable application performance. |

| Answer: | 150m. |
| 25 | How many 8B/10B control characters does 4-Gbps FC use? |
| Answer: | One. |
| 26 | What information does the NAA field of an FC WWN provide? |
