Study Notes
- Network neutrality means that all internet traffic should be treated equally by ISPs, without discrimination or charging differently based on user, content, or application.
- Node (host) refers to any device like a computer or printer connected to a network that can send, receive, or manage data.
- Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model is a conceptual framework that standardizes the functions of a telecommunication or computing system into seven abstraction layers to facilitate interoperability.
- Open system is a system that uses open standards and protocols, allowing it to interact with other systems and be modified or extended by third parties.
- Packet is a small unit of data transmitted over a network, containing both the data being sent and control information for routing.
- Packet switching is a method of data transmission where data is broken into packets and sent over various routes to its destination, where it is reassembled.
- Phone modem is a device that converts digital data from a computer into analog signals for transmission over telephone lines, and vice versa.
- Ping is a network utility that tests the reachability of a host on a network and measures the time it takes for a message to travel to the host and back.
- Port is a virtual point where network connections start and end, used to identify specific processes or services on a device.
- Proprietary system is a system that is privately owned and controlled, often requiring specific software or hardware to operate.
