Mastering Computer Servers and Routers Quiz

Computer servers = A more powerful computer that 'serves' other computers by providing some service or functionality File server = Stores and manages files that can be accessed by other computers on a network Web server = Responds to requests for webpages by other computers Routers = Devices that 'route' network requests and help connect computers and send data packets

Embedded device = A highly specialized device meant for a very specific purpose; usually embedded, or included within another object or as part of a larger system Computing system = A group of computing devices and programs working together for a common purpose Computer network = A group of interconnected computing devices capable of sending and receiving data Node = Any addressable device on a network

Network interface card = Allows a computer to join a network as a node Node = Any addressable device on a network Computer network = A group of interconnected computing devices capable of sending and receiving data Web server = Responds to requests for webpages by other computers
