for a busy network at home. We have so many wireless devices in our homes that
it could get quite messy without any kind of proper QoS.

protocols in VoIP communications?: RTP
-RTP works in conjunction with signaling protocols - SIP, specifically - to deliver
real-time data between the two devices in use.

9. A _____ is a group of network devices that look like they are all connected
to a single network even if they are not in the same location.: VLAN
-A VLAN can be very beneficial for many purposes, which is why many businesses
that have multiple locations tend to use them. Not being limited to a single location
helps makes VLANs such an essential tool for many.
10. When it comes to home networks, how is the primary IP address generated for all devices?: The ISP assigns a static address to the location, which is

a wireless network; therefore, it must send the same IP address in order for the
devices to communicate with the router.
