Re: Packet retransmit questiion [7:69715]

First of all, I wouldn't post a question advertising it to be from the 
350-001 test to a public newsgroup.  It just seems like a bad idea.

I'm responding to the question based on the fact that I took the test a 
couple weeks ago and didn't see the question.  I'm HOPING that the 
question is from your study material for the test.

Generally the sending host.

Frame Relay includes a CRC to detect corrupted frames.  The CRC is 
checked at the end router and is used to detect corrupted frames so that 
they can be dropped.  Neither router will retransmit the frames, 
assuming of course that neither router is the source of the traffic.

If one of the routers is sourcing the traffic, perhaps Telneting to the 
other router, then the routers would resend corrupted frames (actually 
the router would resend the IP packet, possibly resending multiple 
frames).  But at this point the router is performing the role of a host.

Same as Frame Relay.  There is no link-level ACK, resends are the 
responsibility of the upper-layer protocols on the sending host.

Yes.

In all cases, the host, if you are running IP protocols that even 
specify retransmission.  TCP does, but UDP does not. RPC over UDP 
retransmits.

The only exception where the router would retransmit would be if you 
are running X.25, LAP-B, SSCOP, or SDLC.

Packet retransmit questiion [7:69715]

2003-05-29 Thread Robert Perez
Hi all,

I have a question on the CCIE 350-001 test.  I have heard differing opinions
on this but when traffic crosses a WAN connection and there are problems who
does the retransmit?? Host or RTR??

1.) In Frame relay there is a line hit or corrupt packet on the WAn, who
retransmits, should be the source router correct?

2.) In a point to point circuit w/HDLC there is a line hit or corrupt packet
who retransmits, should be the source router correct??

3.) In a bridged environment with a WAN a T-1 takes a line hit or corrupt
packet who retrnasmits, should be the source host correct??
