d. All are correct statements

2.

Select the benefit(s) of implementing a NAT.

Explanation / Answer

1. d. All are correct statements

When an IP datagram is received, ARP initially inspects its cache to see if the IP address mapping already exists and ARP maps network address to the data link layer. It also satisfies second option too.

2. c. enables an intranet to easily switch ISPs

Network Address Translation is useful in easy switching of an ISP.

3. c. ICMP information is useful in making routing decisions

Each IP makes its own routing decisions and its not that much easy to trace the routing of particular IP. ICMP informaation is useful in getting such information on routing decisions.

4. True

Domain Naming System is a network of decentralized servers which translate URL's.

5. d. All of the above
