Study Notes
Protocols
- A protocol is a set of rules that govern how data is transmitted over a network.
Network Devices
- Hub: A simple device that broadcasts data to all connected devices.
- Server: A device that provides resources to other devices on a network.
- Router: A device that forwards data packets between networks.
- Cables: Physical connections that transmit data between devices.
Bandwidth and Data Transmission
- Bandwidth: The amount of data that can be transmitted over a network in a given time.
- Bits per second (bps): A unit of measurement for data transmission speed.
- Buffering: A temporary storage area for data, used when the rate of data arrival differs from processing rate.
Network Types
- Wired networks use physical cables for connection, providing higher speed and security.
- Wireless networks use radio waves for connection, providing flexibility but potentially slower speeds.
The Internet
- The Internet is a global network connecting computer networks worldwide.
Network Protocols
- MAC address: A unique identifier for a network interface card.
- IP address: A unique identifier for a device on the internet.
- TCP: A protocol that ensures reliable data transmission over the internet.
- VoIP: A protocol that allows voice communication over the internet.
Data Transmission
- Packet: A unit of data transmitted over a network.
- A large amount of data is split into smaller units called packets for efficient transmission.
World Wide Web
- The World Wide Web is a system of interconnected hypertext documents accessible via the internet.
Internet of Things (IoT)
- IoT connects various devices to the internet, enabling data collection and exchange.
