Study Notes
Protocols
- Protocols are sets of rules that govern communication between devices.
Network Components
- Hub: A simple device that broadcasts data to all connected devices.
- Server: A device that provides resources and services to other devices on a network.
- Router: A device that directs data packets between networks.
- Cables: Physical connections used to transmit data between devices.
Bandwidth and Transmission Speed
- Bandwidth: The amount of data that can be transmitted over a network in a given time. Measured in bits per second (bps).
- Bits per Second (bps): A unit of measurement for the rate of data transmission.
- Buffering: When data arrives at a device slower than it's processed.
Wired vs. Wireless Networks
- Wired networks: Use physical cables for data transmission. Generally faster and more reliable.
- Wireless networks: Use radio waves or signals for data transmission. More flexible and convenient.
The Internet
- The Internet is a global network of interconnected networks.
Protocols and Addressing
- MAC address: A unique identifier assigned to a network interface card (NIC) on a device.
- IP address: A unique address assigned to every device on the internet.
- TCP (Transmission Control Protocol): A protocol that splits messages into smaller packets for transmission and ensures they arrive in order.
- VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol): A technology that allows voice communication over the internet.
Data Transmission
- Packets: Small units of data that large messages are broken into for transmission across networks.
The World Wide Web
- The World Wide Web is a system of interconnected hypertext documents accessible via the internet.
Internet of Things (IoT)
- IoT is a network of interconnected devices that connect to the internet, collect and exchange data.
