Question

Describe different types of noises. Which is likely to pose the greatest problem to network managers?

Answer 1

Types of noise:
There are 5 types of noise in networking, they are line outages, white noise, impulse noise, cross-talk, and echo noise.
The type of noise that poses the greatest problem to network managers is impulse noise, which is the primary source of errors in data communications.
Impulse noise is heard as a click or a crackling noise and can last as long as 10 milli seconds.
Impulse noise may not really affect voice communications, but it can obliterate a group of data, causing a burst error.
