"Wi-fi" is the technology for radio wireless local area networking. Wi-fi is a trademark of the "Wifi Alliance", which restricts the term "Wi-fi" to products that successfully complete certified testing.

A star topology is a topology for a Local Area Network (LAN) in which all nodes are individually connected to a central connection point, like a hub or a switch. A star takes more cable than e.g. a bus, but the benefit is that if a cable fails, only one node will be brought down.

A tree topology is a special type of structure in which many connected elements are arranged like the branches of a tree. For example, tree topologies are frequently used to organize the computers in a corporate network, or the information in a database.

# data[].attributes.body
Mesh topology is a type of networking where all nodes cooperate to distribute data amongst each other. This topology was originally developed 30+ years ago for military applications, but today, they are typically used for things like home automation, smart HVAC control, and smart buildings.

# data[].attributes.body
A bus topology is a topology for a Local Area Network (LAN) in which all the nodes are connected to a single cable. The cable to which the nodes connect is called a "backbone". If the backbone is broken, the entire segment fails.

# data[].attributes.body
A ring topology network is a network configuration in which device connections create a circular data path. Each networked device is connected to two others, like points on a circle.

The File Transfer Protocol is a standard network protocol used for the transfer of computer files between a client and server on a computer network. FTP is built on a client-server model architecture using separate control and data connections between the client and the server.

A bandwidth is a range of frequencies within a given band, in particular that used for transmitting a signal.

The file retrieval protocol allows a client program to contact and retrieve files from a machine running a PFS daemon. It is a simple two-stage protocol: First, the client sends a particular request, along with necessary data.

A communication channel or simply channel refers either to a physical transmission medium such as a wire, or to a logical connection over a multiplexed medium such as a radio channel in telecommunications and computer networking.

In computer science, a organization structure is a data organization, management and storage format that enables efficient access and modification. More precisely, a data structure is a collection of data values, the relationships among them, and the functions or operations that can be applied to the data.

A P2P network is created when two or more PCs are connected and share resources without going through a separate server computer.

# data[].attributes.body
A computer network in which one centralized, powerful computer (called the server) is a hub to which many less powerful personal computers or workstations (called clients ) are connected.

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a standard that defines how to establish and maintain a network conversation via which application programs can exchange data.

A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a network that interconnects users with computer resources in a geographic area or region larger than that covered by even a large local area network (LAN) but smaller than the area covered by a wide area network (WAN).

A neighborhood area network (NAN) is an offshoot of Wi-Fi hotspots and wireless local area networks (WLAN), which enable users to connect to the Internet quickly and at very little expense. A NAN is generally installed by an individual to serve a family or a number of neighbors.
