Study Notes
Computer Networks
- Computer networks can use both wired and wireless connections for interconnections.
- Hostnames are not frequently changed after initial assignment in computer networks.
Network Classification
- Computer networks can be classified by the transmission medium used to carry signals.
Nodes in a Computer Network
- Networking hardware is considered a node in a computer network.
Access to the World Wide Web
- Computer networks do support access to the World Wide Web.
Protocol Data Unit (PDU)
- In the context of packet switching data networks, PDU is best understood in relation to a service data unit (SDU).
- The PDU at the Internet layer in the Internet protocol suite is called a packet, not a segment.
- TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) uses segments, not datagrams, as the protocol data units for connection-oriented communication.
Network Layers
- The physical layer sends bits (frames) across a wire or fiber in a computer network, not ones and zeros.
- The transport layer delivers the data to the right software application at the destination in a computer network.
