CompTIA Exam N10-008 Topic 1 Question 67 Discussion

The type of network being described here is aWAN (Wide Area Network). BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is commonly used for routing between different autonomous systems (ASes) over large geographical distances, such as connecting branch offices across states or countries.

WAN (Wide Area Network): A WAN spans a large geographic area and connects multiple LANs (Local Area Networks) or other networks. It allows communication between distant locations, such as connecting branch offices, data centers, or remote sites. BGP is often used in WANs to exchange routing information between different ASes.

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol): BGP is an exterior gateway protocol used for routing between autonomous systems (ASes). It enables routers in different ASes to exchange information about network reachability and select optimal paths for data transmission.
