GCIH · Question #75

Which of the following is a technique for creating Internet maps? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose two.

The correct answer is A. Active Probing B. AS PATH Inference. Internet mapping uses Active Probing to discover network topology via probe packets and AS PATH Inference to map autonomous system relationships using BGP routing data.

Why each option

Internet mapping uses Active Probing to discover network topology via probe packets and AS PATH Inference to map autonomous system relationships using BGP routing data.

AActive ProbingCorrect

Active Probing involves sending network packets such as ICMP or UDP probes - for example via traceroute - to systematically discover routers, links, and hop-level topology across the Internet.

BAS PATH InferenceCorrect

AS PATH Inference uses BGP routing table data to deduce interconnections between autonomous systems, enabling construction of large-scale Internet-level topology maps without direct probing.

CObject Relational Mapping

Object Relational Mapping (ORM) is a software development technique for mapping relational database tables to programming language objects and has no relation to network topology discovery.

DNetwork Quota

Network Quota refers to bandwidth or data usage limits enforced on users or interfaces and is not a methodology for discovering or mapping Internet topology.
