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

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

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

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

The actual data is referred to as the

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

is useful to determine if another machine is accessible

stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access

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

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

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

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

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

Allowed branching and thus much more complex topologies

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

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

are any foreign devices on your network

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

is the group of Applications requiring network communication

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

is a means of transpoting data over a packet switch network

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

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)

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

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

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

are usually used to connect points on a company internet LAN

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

Bridges later known as ____ came along a short time later

is the transceiver that drives the signals on the network

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

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

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

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

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

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

Access points are usually tower mounted and serve multiple subscribers

the switches are set up manually by the communication management station

is an electronic device that receives a cignal and retransmits it

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

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

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

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

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

is responsible for creating the frames that move across the network

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

contains instructions about the data carried by the packet

in the telecom world, a repeater might be called a

establishes the connection between applications on different hosts

are frequently used in home networks, small companies and business

The Organization that owns the WIFI registered trademark term

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

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

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

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

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

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

Does not use telephone lines or cables system

is responsible for creating the packets that move across the network

Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base T uses called PAM5 Encodong

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