A device that connects your home to the internet by translating internet signals from your provider.

A device that shares the internet with all your devices by creating a Wi-Fi network and connecting multiple machines.

A device that connects devices on a network and allows them to communicate directly with each other. It sends data only to the intended recipient, not to everyone on the network.

A computer or system that provides resources, services, or data to other computers (clients) over a network. It stores, manages, and shares information such as files, websites, or applications.

A device or software that requests and uses services or resources provided by a server. Examples include a computer accessing a website or an email app retrieving messages from a mail server.

The process of breaking down a file into smaller packets for easier and more efficient transmission across a network. Packets are then reassembled at the destination.

A unique identifier assigned to a device on a network. Each device has a different IP address to distinguish it from other devices.

A security feature that protects a network from unauthorized access and malicious activity.

A type of network where each device can both request and provide services, allowing for direct communication between peers.

A network where client devices request services and a dedicated server provides them. Clients cannot offer services to other clients.

A computing model where all processing and data are handled by a single central server. Client devices connect to the server to access resources.

A lightweight computer or device that depends heavily on a central server for processing and data storage. It primarily acts as an interface to access services hosted on the server.

A computer or device that performs most of its processing and stores data locally, without relying heavily on a central server. It can function independently and handle complex tasks.

A computer that stores web server software and the files that make up a website (HTML, images, CSS, JavaScript).

A network service that translates domain names (like example.com) into IP addresses (like 192.168.1.1), which are the numerical addresses computers use to communicate.

The communication protocol used for transferring files between web browsers and web servers. It allows your browser to request and download website content.

A network design process involving planning the physical layout (topology) and connecting devices (synthesis).

A network architecture where computers connect directly to each other without a central server. This creates a decentralized system with distributed resources and responsibilities.

A network architecture where one or more dedicated computers (servers) provide resources to other computers (clients) on the network. Clients request services or data from servers, which then deliver the information.

A type of server that focuses on providing access to files stored centrally on a network, allowing users to share and access documents, images, or other files.

A server responsible for managing email communication within a network or organization, receiving and delivering email messages to users.

A special type of server that handles database operations, storing and retrieving information from a database system.

A server focused on executing application software and providing access to the application's data to clients on the network.

A server that manages the printing tasks for a network, receiving print requests from users and sending them to connected printers.

A network that connects computers and devices within a small area, such as a home, office, or school, allowing them to share data and resources.

A large network connecting computers and devices over long distances, such as between cities or countries, often using the internet or other communication technologies.

A network that connects devices and systems through the internet or cloud infrastructure, allowing them to communicate and share resources remotely regardless of physical location.

A small network within a home that connects personal devices, such as computers, smartphones, smart TVs, printers, and smart home devices, allowing them to communicate and share resources like the internet.

A high-speed network designed specifically for storage and data transfer between servers and storage devices.

A network that connects devices and systems within a metropolitan area, often used for city-wide communication and data exchange.

Features like scalability, high processing power, reliability, and cost savings make servers valuable for businesses.

A network that connects computers and devices within a limited geographic area, like a school or office. Smaller than a WAN, but bigger than a LAN.

A network that spans a large geographical area, connecting multiple LANs and MANs. Used for long-distance communication.

A network that connects devices within a small area, like a single building or home. Limited in range, typically used for local communication.

A high-speed network with centralized data storage, allowing multiple servers to share resources. Typically used by businesses or data centers.

A networking model that standardizes communication between devices by dividing communication into seven layers, each responsible for a specific function.

The physical layer of the OSI model, responsible for sending data bits over physical cables.

The data link layer of the OSI model, responsible for organizing data into frames and checking for errors.

The network layer of the OSI model, responsible for finding the best route for data to travel.
