Internet Basics
This global system of interconnected networks allows billions of devices to communicate.
Internet
Small chunks into which data is broken before being sent across a network
Packet
The protocol used to request and transfer web pages
HTTP
Having extra components or pathways available if one fails
Redundancy
The maximum amount of data that can be transmitted over a network in a given time
Bandwidth
A collection of web pages and resources accessed through the Internet
World Wide Web
The route a packet takes from sender to receiver
Path
This system translates human-friendly domain names into IP addresses
DNS
A network designed to continue operating even when parts fail
Fault Tolerant
The gap between people who have reliable access to technology and the Internet and those who do not
Digital Divide
A group of connected computing devices that can share information and resources
Computing Network
The set of rules that govern communication between devices on a network
Protocol
Multiple pathways for packets increase this characteristic of a network
Fault Tolerant
A video stream buffering frequently may indicate insufficient ______
Bandwidth
A group of computing devices and programs working together for a common purpose
Computing System
This protocol is responsible for addressing and routing packets across networks
Internet Protocol (IP)
HTTP and IP are examples of this type of communication rule
Protocols
This device forwards packets between networks and helps determine paths
Router
Rural communities often face challenges related to this concept concerning technology access.
Digital Divide
A machine that can run a program, including computers, tablets, servers, routers, and smart sensors
Computing Device
A unique numerical label assigned to a device connected to a network
IP Address
The WWW depends on the Internet, but the Internet can exist without this
World Wide Web
Redundancy is important because it helps prevent this when a component fails
Network Outage or Loss of Connectivity
Improving bandwidth generally affects network speed, while adding redundancy generally affects this
Reliability or Fault Tolerance
