Question

"Packet switches have multiple links attached to them. For each attached link the packet switch has a/an ____________, which stores packets that the router is about to send into that link."

link buffer

access buffer

output buffer

transmission buffer

none of the above

Answer 1

Answer: Output buffer

Step-by-step explanation:

Each packet switches contain multiple links which are attached to it and for individually attached link the output buffer basically store packets. Then, the router send these packets into multiple links.

In output buffer, if the packets are transmitted into the links but it finds that the link is busy with the another packet for transmission. Then, that particular packet needs to be wait in output buffer.

Therefore, the output buffer is the correct option.
