What to know about this topic
The widest topic in the paper
199 mapped concepts — more than any other. It also has the largest body of 9608 material still in syllabus (35 entries), because networking changed least between the two syllabuses.
The "networking devices" trap
The syllabus bullet “benefits of networking devices” means the benefits of putting devices into a network — not the benefits of network hardware like routers and switches. The 9608 Legend’s author got this wrong and filed hardware questions under it; those questions are re-filed in the Jigsaw under the hardware bullets where they belong.
