Drag and Drop Question Drag and drop the characteristics from the left onto the switching architectures on the right. Answer:
The correct answer is It is referred to as "software switching."; The general-purpose CPU is in charge of packet switching.; It optimizes the switching process to handle larger packet volumes.. The correct arrangement maps characteristics to their respective switching architectures: 'software switching' and 'general-purpose CPU handles packet switching' both describe process switching (or software-based switching), where the CPU processes each packet individually - maki

Correct arrangement
- It is referred to as "software switching."
- The general-purpose CPU is in charge of packet switching.
- It optimizes the switching process to handle larger packet volumes.
Explanation
The correct arrangement maps characteristics to their respective switching architectures: 'software switching' and 'general-purpose CPU handles packet switching' both describe process switching (or software-based switching), where the CPU processes each packet individually - making it slower but simpler. 'Optimizes the switching process to handle larger packet volumes' describes hardware-based switching architectures like Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF), which uses specialized ASICs or hardware to forward packets at much higher speeds without burdening the CPU.
