Study Notes
Network Fundamentals
- A network is a collection of interconnected devices that communicate with each other to share resources and exchange data.
Network Topologies
- A fully connected mesh network topology offers the advantage of providing multiple paths for data to travel, ensuring reliable communication and fault tolerance.
Physical Topologies
- A tree physical topology is a combination of bus and star topologies, where multiple star networks are connected to a central bus.
Network Categories
- Wide Area Networks (WANs) cover a large geographical area, connecting devices over a wide distance, often spanning cities or even countries.
Network Connections
- A multipoint connection is a type of connection where more than two specific devices share a single link.
