Study Notes
Network Nodes
- Network nodes act as intermediaries, facilitating data flow across networks.
Types of Network Devices
- Routers: connect different networks (e.g. cellular networks, distributed networks) and forward data based on destination address.
- Switches: facilitate communication between devices within a network.
- Hubs: transmit data to all connected devices.
This quiz covers the functions of network devices, including routers, switches, hubs, and modems, in facilitating data flow across networks.
