An Application hands off a chunk of data to the TCP Library, Which turn to makes calls to the IP library, which in turn calls the LAN layer

is the group of Applications requiring network communication

establishes the connection between applications on different hosts

is responsible for creating the packets that move across the network

is responsible for creating the frames that move across the network

is the transceiver that drives the signals on the network

The speed at which data is transferred within the computer or between a peripheral device and computer

is the amount of data move succesfully from one place to another in a given time period, and typically measured in bits per second (bps)

refers to the theoretical rate of speed that data on your network can travel

are modest sized buffers of data, transmitted as a unit through some shared set of links

contains instructions about the data carried by the packet

The actual data is referred to as the

sometimes called footer, typically contains a couple of bits that tell the receiving device that it has reached the end of packet

is the arrangement with which computer systems or network devices are connected to each other

a set of entries in the forwarding table that cause some packets to circulate endlessly

is the reduced quality of a service that occurs when a network node or link is carrying more data than it can handle

Network overload is what happen when you place too many hosts in a broadcast domain

Its a situation where there are unexpectedly too many requests on a network

refer to the size of the pipe in which internet data can travel through

when building out a network, there needs to be the integration of hubs

is where a network allows many many computers to speak to each other sinultaneously

If the hardware is not optimal, this creates a bottle neck for the transmission of data

are any foreign devices on your network

An Internet Service Provider can determine how fast it sends traffic over its network

is a communication protocol for Local Area Network (LAN) using media interfaces

are independent networks but may be linked within a WAN through internet devices such as routers

is the principal communication protocol in the internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across the network boundaries

originated in the initial network implementation which it complemented the Internet Protocol (IP)

is a system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network

is useful to determine if another machine is accessible

is an electronic device that receives a cignal and retransmits it

is networking hardware that connect devices on a computer network by using packet switching to receive and forward data

is a multiport network bridge that uses MAC address to forward the data at the datalink layer of the OSI model

in the telecom world, a repeater might be called a

Allowed branching and thus much more complex topologies

Bridges later known as ____ came along a short time later

Another category of Ethernet addresses is multicast used to transmit to a set of stations

The set of subscribers to a given multicast address may be called

Ethernet packet contain a 32 Bit (Cyclical Redundancy Check) error detecting code

Fast Ethernet developed at the time 1995 when reliable switches below were widely available

Fast Ethernet standard is 100BASE-TX which uses twisted pair copper wire (CAT5)

Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base T uses called PAM5 Encodong

are usually used to connect points on a company internet LAN

are frequently used in home networks, small companies and business

They can be customized to enchance the functionality of a certain Network

can support the power and data transmission over one cable at the same time

Provide a way to simplify and increase the availability of the network

is any broadcast domain that is partitioned and isolated in a computer network at the data link layer

is a private network that encrypts and transmits data while travel from one place to another on the internet

Each end of the connection is typically associated with a software created virtual network interface

is the process of encrypting data and keeping it sepate from other traffic on the internet

is a network architecture approach that enables network to be intelligently and centrally controlled or programmed using software applications

this helps operators manage the entire network consistently and holistically regardless of the underlying network technology

is a leased line to point to point link between two sites where the subscriber interface at each end of the line looks like Ethernet

is a marketing term for extensions to Ethernet to enable telecommunications network providers

is a communication protocol in a Local Area Network (LAN) where all the stations are connected in a ring topology

is a means of transpoting data over a packet switch network

the switches are set up manually by the communication management station

the switches are set up automatically when a communication session is established

is a network mechanism intended to accomodate real time traffic as well as bulkdata transfer

used a radio frequency signal instead of wires to connect your devices

The Organization that owns the WIFI registered trademark term

stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access

stands for Long Term Evolution, is more successor to current mobile 3G Standards

uses radio waves transmitted by a cell tower to bring you your internet connection

Access points are usually tower mounted and serve multiple subscribers

Does not use telephone lines or cables system
