What Are Two Characteristics Of A Scalable Network? (Choose Two.)

Network scalability

Various users use the internet daily, to handle the huge traffic and give them a response is quite complicated and to do this the network needs to be scalable. The scalability in the network means that it can support the new user without affecting the performance of the already present users.

People must be curious that how the internet spread into the world and every individual are using it without any disturbance the answer is the function and the architecture of the protocols which are built for it. The infrastructure of the internet is a layer in which each layer is for different tasks such as addressing, naming, and for connectivity. The traffic is distributed into the local and wide level and they are designed in a way that they can’t interfere with each other.

The ability to adjust with the new apps and products is known as the scalability, though no company is not using the internet and they are also following some standards and the agreement in which it is mentioned that the software and the hardware need to be established in a way that the new development is acceptable in the existing structure.

However, with the continuous increase of the user the previous structure and protocols are not enough that’s why new standards are in the process of development so the scalability does not affect the efficiency.

Network scalability and its characteristics 

Network scalability is defined as regardless of the number of the nodes which are added into the system/network it does not affect the performance. The scaling out/in means the removal of addition of the resources while the scaling down/up is the change of the resources which are connected in the network but all of these does not affect the efficiency that’s what the scalable network means. A scalable network has to be authentic and responsive.

The characteristics of the network scalability are given in the following section:

Authentic and obtainable:

The scalable network should be authentic and obtainable all the time when it is required .it should have the quality of the service for the apps.

Flexible:

The network can provide the system and network administration which can communicate od the hardware and software with other platforms.

Structured:

The structure of the network in a way that it can accept the various resources and the bandwidth should be high. The resource has to be maximum.

Adaptable:

A scalable network has to be adaptive with different sources, protocols, standard, hardware and with the application on the internet.

Easy to access but secure:

The network can communicate with other networks, switches, routers but the security has to be strict, protocols and rules have to be followed during the communication.

What are two characteristics of a scalable network? 

1. Easy to access but also secure.
2. Do not accept the changes.
3. Size can increase but does not affect performance.
4. Only a few apps can connect with it.

The scalable network is easy to access but the security level is also good and the size can expand with the addition of the nodes but it has no effect on the performance.
