Networking Questions

One of two sublayers of the data link layer of OSI reference model, as defined by the IEEE 802 standard. This sublayer is responsible for maintaining the link between computers when they are sending data across the physical network connection

Hubs are specified or operate at Layer1 i.e, the physical layer in the OSI model. Hubs regenerate electrical signals. A hub sends data packets (frames) to all devices on a network, regardless of any MAC addresses contained in the data packet.

It is the protocol the routers in neighboring autonomous systems use to identify the set of networks that can be reached within or via each autonomous system.

ICMP is Internet Control Message Protocol, a network layer protocol of the TCP/IP suite used by hosts and gateways to send notification of datagram problems back to the sender. It uses the echo test / reply to test whether a destination is reachable and responding. It also handles both control and error messages.

It is a protocol used to advertise the set of networks that can be reached with in an autonomous system. BGP enables this information to be shared with the autonomous system. 

Along any transmission path from a given source to a given destination, a group of virtual circuits can be grouped together into what is called path.

IPv6 - Internet Protocol Version 6.

IPv6 addresses have a size of 128 bits.

Internet Protocol Version 6 [IPv6] is the successor to the Internet's first addressing infrastructure, Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4).

In contrast to IPv4, which defined an IP address as a 32-bit value, IPv6 address have a size of 128 bits. 

It is using a router to answer ARP requests. This will be done when the originating host believes that a destination is local, when in fact is lies beyond router.
