Study Notes
- Protocol is a set of rules defining how data is formatted, transmitted, and received over a network.
- Protocol stack refers to a set of network protocol layers working together to handle data communication, often referred to as a protocol suite.
- P2P model is a network model where each device functions as both a client and a server, sharing resources directly without a central server.
- Repeater is a device that receives a signal and retransmits it at a higher power level, extending the network's range.
- Ring topology is a network configuration in which each device connects to two others, creating a circular data path.
- Router is a device routing data packets between different networks, ensuring they reach the correct destinations.
- Star topology is a network configuration connecting devices to a central hub or switch, thus facilitating communication.
- TCP/IP constitutes a set of protocols governing data transmission over the Internet for reliable communication.
- Top-level domain (TLD) is the final segment of a domain name (e.g., .com, .org, .net), identifying the domain's highest-level grouping.
- Traceroute refers to a network diagnostic tool that tracks the path data takes between devices, illustrating each step along the way.
