What VPN stands for
Virtual Private Network
What is another name for WiFi
Wireless LAN
allows users to move around the coverage area, often a home or small office, while maintaining a network connection.
WLAN (wireless LAN)
a situation where two nodes or processes are trying to access the same node at exactly the same moment, causing neither to be able to proceed.
Deadlock
Name 3 variables that affect the speed of data transmission
Traffic, Time of Day, Distance, Infrastructure, Environmental issues, File size
True or false: VPNs allow you to connect to a LAN through the internet
True
What is WiMax rivaled by
LTE (Long term evolution)
What LAN stands for
Local Area Network
a network state where a node or link carries so much data that it may deteriorate network service quality, resulting in queuing delay, frame or data packet loss and the blocking of new connections
Congestion Control
This concept involves encoding to use fewer bits than the original entity
Compression
One of the two fundamental VPN technologies in which data is encoded
Encryption
What is 3G primarily used in
Mobile phones
A group of computer systems and other computing hardware devices that are linked together through communication channels to facilitate communication and resource-sharing among a range of users.
Network
the techniques used to detect noise or other impairments introduced into data while it is transmitted from source to destination
Error Checking/detection
This transmission media has mediocre security, is susceptible to electromagnetic interference, a cheap cost, and slow speed
Twisted Pair Cable
One of the two fundemental VPN technologies that involves establishing and maintaining a logical network connection
tunneling
What environment is WiFi best used for
Homes
a secure high-speed data transfer network that provides access to consolidated blocklevel storage.
SAN (storage are network)
the overall completeness, accuracy and consistency of data.
Data integrity
This concept involves data being pulverized into small units of data for faster transmission through a network
Packet Switching
Another word for remote working through the use of a VPN
telecommunication
What are four of the types of wireless networks that IB acknowledges
Wifi, wimax, LTE, 3G, 4G
a controlled private network allowing customers, partners, vendors, suppliers and other businesses to gain information without granting access to the organization's entire network.
Extranet
the mechanism that ensures the rate at which a sender is transmitting is in proportion with the receiver’s receiving capabilities.
Flow control
