10 Questions
A computer network is a set of computers sharing resources located on or provided by network nodes. What are the common communication protocols used by computers to communicate with each other?
Digital interconnections
What are the nodes of a computer network and how are they identified?
The nodes can include personal computers, servers, networking hardware, or other specialized or general-purpose hosts. They are identified by network addresses and may have hostnames.
How can computer networks be classified?
By criteria such as the transmission medium used to carry signals, bandwidth, communications protocols to organize network traffic, the network size, the topology, traffic control mechanisms, and organizational intent.
What are some of the applications and services supported by computer networks?
Access to the World Wide Web, digital video and audio, shared use of application and storage servers, printers and fax machines, and use of email and instant messaging applications.
What are hostnames in the context of computer networks?
Hostnames serve as memorable labels for the nodes and are rarely changed after initial assignment.
What are the different types of telecommunication network technologies used in computer networks?
physically wired, optical, and wireless radio-frequency methods
