Study Notes
Internet Service Providers
- Types of Internet service providers mentioned: not specified in the text
Network Topology
- Topology refers to the physical or logical arrangement of devices in a network
- Topology can be arranged in a mesh, ring, or bus
WAN and LAN
- WAN stands for Wide Area Network in the context of data communication systems
- LAN stands for Local Area Network in the context of data communication systems
Network Connections
- A dedicated link between two devices is provided by a point-to-point connection
- A multipoint connection is required by a bus topology
Network Protocols
- A set of rules that governs data communication is called a protocol
- The protocol suite for the current Internet is TCP/IP
Network Reliability
- The frequency of failure and network recovery time after a failure measures the network's reliability
Transmission
- A television broadcast is an example of a broadcast transmission
- Data flow between two devices can occur through simplex, half-duplex, or full-duplex transmission
Data Communication
- Timing in data communication systems refers to the coordination of data transmission
- The first network was not specified in the text
Standardization
- Special-interest groups that quickly test, evaluate, and standardize new technologies are called standards organizations
