Fiber optic cable: glass fiber carrying ______ pulses, each pulse a bit, characterized by highspeed operation with transmission rate 10-100 Gbps transmission rate and low error rate.

Twisted pair copper: two insulated copper wires to transmit data in ______ format.

Electro-magnetic radio waves: signal carried in electromagnetic spectrum without ______. Used in wireless LAN (WiFi) and wide-area (cellular).

Circuit switching: is a communication method where a dedicated communication path, or circuit, is established between two devices before data transmission begins. Packet switching: is a communication method where data is divided into smaller units called ______ and transmitted over the network.

Routing: Determines source-destination route taken by data packets using ______ algorithms.

Queue: collection of data packets collectively waiting to be transmitted by a network device using a per-defined structure ______.

Network Delay: occurs if the size of the queue is large, and each packet has to wait until its delivery in excessive network ______.

Packets Loss: occurs when the network discarded some packets because the queue reaches its maximum capacity and can’t accommodate any more ______.

Nodal processing: the time taken by the switch to read data packets header information (source, destination, and length L). Queueing: the waiting time of the packets in the ______.

Propagation: the time taken one bit to travel from one end of the wire to the other. It's proportional to the length of the wire. Throughput: rate (bits/time unit) at which bits transferred between ______/receiver.
