Topology
What words definition is this: Two or more devices connected together, along with the equipment used to connect them
Network
What words definition is this: A company that sells and manages consumer access to the Internet
ISP
What is layout of devices that are connected on a computer network
Network topology
What words definition is this:A type of network where computers are close together, typically in the same building
Local area network
What words definition is this: A unique set of numbers assigned to a specific computer that is connected to the Internet
Internet Protocol (IP) Address
Which topology is this: every computer is connected to a central cable called the “backbone”. If the central cable breaks it divides the network. This means opposite sides won’t be able to communicate.
Bus

Wide area netowork
What words definition is this: The set of networking rules that control how data is sent from one specific machine (as defined by its IP address) to another
TCP/IP-Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
Which topology is this: This topology connects to exactly two other nodes. This forms a single path for signals to travel through each other
Ring
What words definition is this: A type of hub that uses a table to keep track of destinations so that data can be sent directly to its destination
Switch
What words definition is this: An Internet connection that is made using a modem but is always on (dialing in to establish a connection is not needed)
Broadband
which LAN is this: each device in the network can act as a router
Mesh
What words definition is this: A device that links two computer networks or that links a local area network to the Internet.
Router
What words definition is this: A type of Internet connection that uses phone lines but transmits signals digitally across an always-open connection
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
