a set of hardware, software, and media systems used to connect computers together,
What is a network?
100
Data moves though the network in a structure which are pieces of a message broken down into small units by the sending PC and reassembled by the receiving PC.
What is packets?
100
must be present at each node to translate data to and from packets and to send and receive the packets.
What is hardware?
200
a method of efficiently and reliably transmitting voice across a computer network, turning a computer into a telephone
What is Voice over Internet protocol (VoIP)?
200
the logical layout of the cables and devices that connect the nodes of the network.
What is topology?
200
The device at each node that performs translation and transmission
What is network interface card (NIC), also known as a network adapter card or network card?
300
a data communication system consisting of multiple devices such as computers and printers.
What is local area network (LAN)?
300
arranges the network nodes in a series, linking one node to the next via a single cable
What is bus topology?
400
LAN (local area network), wide area network (WAN), intranet,and extranet
What are common types of networks?
400
Attenuation, which is the loss of intensity and clarity of the data signal being transmitted. Bandwidth, or the amount of data over time that the media can carry, typically measured in either megabits per second (Mbps) or gigabits per second (Gbps).
What kind of media should you use to assemble a network?
400
a node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network. In the small-business or home network, the gateway is the device that routes data between a local PC and an outside network such as the Internet.
What is gateway?
500
Twisted-pair cable, coaxial cable, and fiber-optic cable
What are common types of wire-based media?
500
star, ring, bus, and mesh
What is are different kinds of network topologies?
500
Repeaters, hubs, bridges, switches, routers, and gateways
What is linking devices needed to be added to ensure data gets to the right place?
