This is a series of computers linked together by wires, cables, or other devices.
What is Network
This is information that has been divided up into smaller chunks and addressed for easier transfer of information.
What are Packets
This is a global network of smaller networks that are connected to each other.
What is Internet
This is the older version of an IP Address format
What is IPv4
This person is credited for inventing the World Wide Web
Who is Tim Berners-Lee
A cable used to transmit information using copper wires over relatively short distances.
What is Ethernet
This is a collection of devices connected together in one location like a home, office, or a building.
What is Local Area Network (LAN)
This is a unique string of numbers or address that identifies each computing device using the internet protocol to communicate over a network.
What is IP Address
This is a newer version of an IP Address format
What is IPv6
In the 1960's, this network agency allowed multiple computers to communicate on a single network, which was crucial for sharing information and resources among researchers and institutions.
What is ARPANET
This is a collection of networks for a large area like a town, city, state, country, etc.
What is Wide Area Network (WAN)
A computer whose job is to move data packets between networks.
What is a Router
Computers that lookup and return an address for a packet’s destination.
What is DNS Server
This is the acronym for WWW
What is World Wide Web
This is the acronym for DNS
What is Domain Name System/Server
This device is hard-wired into the router but accepts radio signals from electronic devices attached to it. Allowing them to remain wireless.
What is Wireless Access Point (WAP)
This is a method of sending information using radio waves instead of wires.
This is the route taken for information to travel via Wireless Network
Router, DNS, Router, Firewall, Wi-Fi, Destination
This is the acronym for TCP
What is Transmission Control Protocol
This is used to connect multiple digital devices to make up a Local Area Network (LAN).
What is a Switch
A cable used to transmit information using light (most of the time red) especially over long distances.
What is Fiber Optic Cable
This is the acronym for IP in IP Address
What is Internet Protocol
This is the route taken for information to travel via Wired Network
Router, DNS, Router, Switch, Firewall, Internet, Destination
This protocol is more suitable and faster than TCP. It sends packets without establishing a connection, which allows for a faster transmission. The speed is more critical than reliable.
What is UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
