Questions and Answers

Define data communication.

  • The process of transferring data wirelessly.
  • The process of transferring data between two or more devices through a transmission medium. (correct)
  • The process of transferring data within a single device.
  • The process of transferring voice signals between two or more devices.
  • What is computer network?

  • A network of computers that are used for gaming purposes.
  • A network of computers that are physically connected to each other.
  • A single device that can perform various computational tasks.
  • A collection of interconnected devices that can share resources and communicate with each other. (correct)
  • Differentiate between client/server network architecture and P2P network architecture.

  • Client/server architecture is used for file sharing, while P2P architecture is used for gaming purposes.
  • In client/server architecture, all devices have equal capabilities and can act as both clients and servers, while in P2P architecture, there is a central server that provides services to multiple client devices.
  • Client/server architecture is used for gaming purposes, while P2P architecture is used for file sharing.
  • In client/server architecture, there is a central server that provides services to multiple client devices, while in P2P architecture, all devices have equal capabilities and can act as both clients and servers. (correct)
  • Define bandwidth.

    List any four advantages of Computer Network.

    <ol> <li>Resource Sharing: Computer networks allow multiple users to share hardware resources such as printers, scanners, and storage devices.</li> <li>Communication: Networks enable efficient and faster communication through email, instant messaging, video conferencing, and file sharing.</li> <li>Cost Efficiency: Sharing resources and centralizing management reduces costs for organizations.</li> <li>Collaboration: Networks facilitate collaboration among individuals or groups by providing a platform for sharing information and working together on projects.</li> </ol> Signup and view all the answers

    Define protocol with its examples.

    <p>A protocol is a set of rules and procedures that govern the communication between devices in a network. It defines how data is transmitted, received, and interpreted. Examples of protocols include TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) used for internet communication, HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) used for web browsing, and SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) used for email.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is the difference between LAN and MAN?

    <p>LAN stands for Local Area Network and refers to a network that covers a small geographical area, such as a home, office, or building. MAN stands for Metropolitan Area Network and refers to a network that covers a larger geographical area, such as a city or town.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What is network topology? Write about star topology with a suitable diagram.

    <p>Network topology refers to the physical or logical arrangement of computers and other network devices in a network. Star topology is a network layout where each device is connected to a central hub or switch. The central hub acts as a relay point for data transmission between devices. In this topology, if one device fails, it does not affect the functioning of other devices. Here is a diagram of the star topology: [insert diagram]</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Explain the concept of bandwidth and how it is measured.

    <p>Bandwidth refers to the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted over a network in a given time period. It is measured in bits per second (bps) or multiples of bits per second, such as kilobits per second (Kbps) or megabits per second (Mbps).</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What does it mean when we say 'Internet is called network of networks'?

    <p>When we say 'Internet is called network of networks', we mean that the Internet is a global network that connects multiple smaller networks together. These smaller networks can be LANs, WANs, or MANs, and they are interconnected through routers and switches to form the Internet.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Draw and briefly explain about bus topology.

    <p>In bus topology, all devices are connected to a central cable called the 'bus'. The data is transmitted in both directions on the bus, and all devices on the network receive the transmitted data. However, if there is a break in the bus cable, the entire network may be affected and communication may be disrupted. Bus topology is commonly used in small networks or as a backbone for larger networks.</p> Signup and view all the answers
