A network topology where data is transmitted in a ring structure using a token.

A standard for Token Ring networks. It defines how these networks work and their setup.

Multistation Access Unit, a device used to connect computers to a Token Ring network.

Connecting multiple independent networks together to form a single large network

A device that regenerates signals on a network, extending the distance they can travel

A device that connects two networks, allowing communication between them.

The rate at which data can be transmitted over a network

An algorithm preventing network loops, improving network stability.

Predictable maximum delay for data transmission to a device.

Network structure where data travels along a single cable to all devices.

Network structure with devices connected to a central hub.

Network structure where devices connect in a circular pattern.

Hardware component for a device to connect to a network.

A device that strengthens network signals over distance.

Device that connects multiple devices on a network.

Set of rules for how network components communicate.

The process of building a network, mirroring software development, involves steps like gathering client requirements, analyzing needs, designing the network solution, installation, testing, and maintenance.

Identifying client needs for a new network, including the network's intended use, connected computers, users, and future growth projections.

Developing a plan for a network, considering hardware needs, software solutions, and user access.

The process of setting up hardware and software for a network, like connecting devices and installing necessary programs.

Checking the network to ensure all expected functions work correctly

The ongoing task of keeping the network running smoothly and addressing issues that arise

The requirements that customers have regarding the new network.

The reason why a network is being created; its goal is to facilitate communication between computers or other devices within a company or organization.

Anticipation of future increases in equipment being connected to the network.

The extent to which the network is used by those who will be working with it.

A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computer systems within a limited area.

Media Access Control Protocol (MAC) determines how devices share a network connection in a local area network (LAN).

Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection. A network protocol where devices listen before transmitting to avoid collisions if multiple devices try to send data at the same time.

A collision occurs when two or more devices try to transmit data simultaneously over a shared network channel, leading to data corruption.

A network access method where a special packet (token) circulates the network. A device can transmit only when it possesses the token.

A special packet in a token passing network that grants permission to transmit data.

The degree to which a network effectively uses its resources and bandwidth - reducing collisions and delays improve network efficiency

A network condition where the amount of data being transmitted exceeds the network's capacity, leading to slower transmission and device failures .

A network standard using a thin coaxial cable in a bus topology, with a max speed of 10 Mbps and 30 devices per segment.

A network standard using twisted-pair cable in a star topology, with a central hub and 10 Mbps speed.

The physical or logical arrangement of devices in a network.

Data travels along a single cable to all devices.

Devices connect to a central hub or switch.

A type of network cable with wires twisted together to reduce interference.

A networking device connecting multiple devices to a single network.

Rules defining how network devices communicate.

The limit on how long a network segment can be in a 10BASE-2 network.

A portion of a network.

Connects multiple segment switches together in a network, requiring high memory and processing speed for handling data from all connected devices.

A switch where all ports have the same speed, typically used for workgroups where data transmission needs between computers are similar.

A switch with some ports significantly faster than others, often used for servers or high-speed connections to other switches.

A network device that directs data packets between networks, crucial for large-scale networks.

Devices operating at the network layer of the OSI model. Routers are an example of a device operating at this layer.

Connects multiple devices in a network and forwards data based on their MAC address.

Unique hardware address used by devices for network communication and identification.

A network using the Internet Protocol for data communication.

Sets of rules for routers to determine the best path for data packets between networks.

Planning the structure of network to meet specific needs or objectives.
