Binary & Data
This number system uses only 0s and 1s.
What is binary?
What does IP stand for?
What is Internet Protocol
The internet breaks messages into these small pieces.
What are packets?
These long undersea wires carry most international internet traffic.
What are submarine (undersea) cables?
This is the “brain” of the computer that does the calculations.
What is the CPU?
This is what we call a single 0 or 1.
What is a bit?
This device chooses the next best path for packets to travel.
What is a router?
Data usually travels through these cables as pulses of this.
What is light (in fiber optics)?
This short-term memory helps the CPU work quickly.
What is RAM?
This delay is how long it takes a packet to go from sender to receiver.
What is latency?
This four-part number (like 192.168.1.5) identifies a device on a network.
What is an IPv4 address?
Packets carry these two key addresses.
What are the source and destination IP addresses?
These can accidentally damage undersea cables near coasts.
What are ship anchors or fishing gear?
This long-term storage keeps files even when power is off.
What is a hard drive or SSD?
Binary 1010 equals this number in decimal.
What is 10?
This newer kind of IP address has letters and more parts to fit more devices.
What is IPv6?
If a packet is lost, this usually happens.
What is it gets resent?
We use undersea cables instead of only satellites mainly for this reason.
What is faster speed and lower delay?
A keyboard and mouse are this type of computer parts.
What are input devices?
This measures how many bits can be sent per second.
What is bandwidth?
This is the main job of an IP address.
What is to identify where to send data?
Packets don’t have to take the same path; they find this kind of route.
What is the fastest or best available route?
The place where an undersea cable connects to land.
What is a landing station?
This software manages hardware and lets apps run.
What is the operating system?
