The information being sent.

The device initiating the data exchange.

The device receiving the data.

The physical pathway between sender and receiver, like wires or radio waves.

A set of rules that ensure smooth communication between devices.

The data is delivered to the intended recipient.

The message is transmitted without any changes or errors.

A visual representation of the network's physical connection layout, showing intermediary devices and cable paths.

A visual representation of the network's logical structure without considering physical cabling, showing devices, ports, and addressing schemes.

A network designed for short-distance communication among devices owned by a single user, typically within a small area.

A network connecting users and devices in a small geographic area, commonly within an office building, home, or small business.

A network connecting multiple LANs within a limited geographic area, such as a university campus or a business complex.

A network connecting different LANs across a larger geographic area, such as a city or country, using communication technologies like fiber optic cables.

A network spanning vast distances to connect multiple LANs and MANs across countries or continents.

Devices that connect different networks or network segments, facilitating data transmission between them.

A device that amplifies and regenerates a signal to extend its reach, compensating for signal degradation over long distances.

A simple device that connects multiple devices on a network, essentially a shared connection point for all connected devices.

A device that forwards data packets intelligently based on their destination address, creating a more efficient and organized network.

A device similar to a switch but designed to connect different LANs (local area networks), enabling communication between them.

A key device that connects networks with different protocols or addressing schemes, enabling communication across various internetworks.

A device that acts as a bridge between a local network and a wider network, such as the internet, allowing access to external resources.

A type of media that transmits data as electrical impulses, using wires as the physical medium.

A type of media that transmits data as light pulses, using optical fibers as the physical medium.

A communication network where every device receives a copy of the transmitted information.

A communication network where data is sent to a specific destination through switching nodes.

A type of switched communication network where a dedicated communication path is established between two devices.

A communication network where data is divided into packets and sent independently to the destination.

A type of packet switching where each packet is treated independently, with no connection to previous packets. Nodes can choose their own paths for each packet, leading to potential packet reordering or loss.

A type of packet switching where a route is established before any data is sent. All packets follow this predetermined route, and a virtual circuit identifier (VCI) replaces the destination address.

The process of sending data through a network in a sequence of small units. Each unit is processed independently and can take different routes.
