- compare and contrast LANs and WANs layer by layer;
- compare and contrast static and dynamic routing, routed and routing protocols, IGPs and EGPs and RIP and IGRP;
- compare and contrast static versus dynamic routing, routed protocols versus routing protocols and distance vector versus link state routing;
- compare and contrast the details of layers 1, 2 and 3 in the context of Ethernet and IP;
- compare and contrast the details of layers 4, 5, 6, 7 in context of TCP;
