Which component routes data across networks?

• A. Network
• B. Adns
• C. Rf Equipment
• D. Antenna

Answer: (B)

Routing data across networks is the job of a system that directs packets from one network to another. The Automated Digital Networking System, ADNS, serves this role on Navy networks, handling the routing decisions and gateway functions that move traffic between different networks (such as shipboard LANs and external networks). It acts as the backbone that enables inter-network communication.

The other options aren’t routing components: a network is the overall collection of connected devices, not the device that routes; RF equipment and antennas are about the physical transmission path rather than directing traffic between networks; DNS translates names to IP addresses but does not route data itself.
