After network testing is complete, the Network Administrator reports that the wireless LAN signal is occasionally affected by some type of interference. What is a possible cause of the signal distortion? (2 marks)
17. ____________is a signaling protocol used for initiating, maintaining, and terminating real-time sessions that include voice, video and messaging applications? (2 marks)
18. Which protocol is a standard networking protocol that enables a central wireless LAN Access Controller (AC) to manage a collection of Wireless Termination Points? (2 marks)
19. Modulation is the process by which information is encoded into electrical signals for transmission over a medium. What is the modulation technique used in 802.11ax standard? (2 marks)
20. In networking _________is an expression of how much time it takes for a data packet to travel from one designated point to another. (2 marks)
