Study Notes
Data Communication System
- The effectiveness of a data communication system depends on three fundamental characteristics: delivery, accuracy, and timeliness.
- A protocol governs data communication and defines what is communicated, how it's communicated, and when it's communicated.
Network
- A network is a set of devices (nodes) connected by communication links, capable of sending and/or receiving data generated by other nodes on the network.
Components
- According to the text, the following is not part of a data communication system: humans.
Network Applications
- The following is NOT listed as a network application in the text: email client.
Other Key Points
- Delivery, accuracy, and timeliness are the fundamental characteristics that the effectiveness of a data communications system depends on.
- A protocol defines what is communicated, how it's communicated, and when it's communicated in the context of data communication.
