CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 218

Feature-rich networks are complex network models that provide one or more features in addition to the network topology. In attributed networks, attributes are assigned to the nodes to describe the corresponding entities. For example, in a friendship network, the actors can be described by their genre and their age. Which two alternative network models can be used to model interaction over time or to model each attribute by a specific relationship? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. information network
• B. heterogeneous network
• C. temporal network
• D. probabilistic network
• E. multilayer network
• F. location-aware network

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

The correct answers are C (temporal network) and E (multilayer network) because they both effectively model interactions across different time frames and can accommodate various attributes through distinct relationships. Options A, B, D, and F do not focus specifically on modeling time-based interactions or attributes related to specific relationships.
