a. true
b. false
3. A QoS issue unique to packet networks is _______________.
a. interworking
b. compression
c. jitter
4. Signal reflections generated by the circuit that converts between a four-wire and a two-wire circuit can result in ___________________.
a. jitter
b. echo
c. delay
5. Developers seeking to incorporate voice-over-packet technology face which of the following challenges?
a. still-evolving technical standards
b. network phenomena such as delay, jitter, echo, and lost packets
c. integration of incompatible technologies
d. all of the above
6. The fax-over-packet IWF reduces overall bandwidth because the fax transmission is _______________.

d. the timing related to the message interaction
e. all of the above
8. Fax-over-packet software addresses the problems of lost frames by _______________.
a. using an error-correcting protocol, such as TCP, to transport the fax data at the expense of added delay
b. replaying last packets and other methods of interpolation
c. repeating information in subsequent frames so that the error can be corrected by the receiver’s playout mechanism.
d. only a and c
e. all of the above
9. Processing delay is caused by the process of modulating and correcting the digital fax information into a packet for transmission over the packet network.
