Principles of Networking
Systems that are combined by links.
What are networks?
A set of rules that govern communication between computer on a network.
What are protocols?
A modem connects to the Internet through this.
What is Internet Service Provider (ISP)?
This is hard coded onto the network interface card.
What is Media Access Control (MAC) address?
This provides wireless connectivity.
What are Access Points (AP)?
Uses electricity to carry signals and transmit data between devices.
What is copper cabling?
This network model is divided into 7 distinct layers.
What is the Open-System Interconnect Model (OSI)?
Most commonly used for cable television and home internet in the United States.
What is RG-6 coaxial cable?
This is a temporary measure that allowed organizations to use addressing schemes customized to their particular situation.
What is Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)?
This is the amount of time it takes for data to travel from one hop to another.
What is latency?
8 bits is equal to what.
What is 1 byte?
This network model focuses on two important protocols.
What is Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Model (TCP/IP)?
This is the order of a T568B Ethernet straight through cable.
What is Orange/White, Orange, Green/White, Blue, Blue/White, Green, Brown/White, Brown ?
This is the total number of address spaces that 32-bit IPv4 supports.
How much is 4,294,967,296 unique addresses?
This form of media uses radio signals, infrared technology, or satellite technology.
What is wireless connection?
When data flows in both directions at the same time it is known as this.
What is full-duplex?
A form that a piece of data takes at any layer.
What is Protocol Data Unit (PDU)?
This is commonly used as a place to collect incoming cable runs from various networking devices throughout a facility.
What is a patch panel?
This is used to identify the network on which a computer is connected.
What is the Subnet Mask?
These are data that is broken up into small chunks.
What are packets?
This network type has hosts that act as both a Client and Server.
What is a peer-to-peer network?
The Ethernet architecture is based on this standard.
What is IEEE 802.3?
This Fiber Media consists of a very small core and uses laser technology to send a single ray of light.
What is Single Mode Fiber (SMF)?
This is where the host names that have been recently resolved are stored.
What is the DNS cache?
This is a one-way data transmission.
What is Simplex?
