consists of one central hub which acts as a conduit to transmit messages

network topology in which devices are connected with many redundant interconnections between network nodes.

# data[].attributes.body
employs one of two decentralized connection arrangements

# data[].attributes.body
Each node connects to exactly two other nodes. This forms a continuous single path—a ring—for signals to travel through each node. A main benefit of this setup is that it is very organized. And since the data travels all in the same direction, it can travel at high speeds. A main disadvantage of this type of network is that if one computer goes down, the entire network is impacted and cannot function.

combination of two or more star  networks  connected together.

Every computer is connected to a central cable that has a terminator at each end. It is easy to connect computers to a linear bus, and it requires less cable than a star topology.  However, if the central cable breaks, it divides the network into two separate sections. This gap will mean that computers on opposite sides of the break won’t be able to communicate. Also, if the entire network shuts down, it’s difficult to locate the problem.

Nodes (i.e.,computers, printers, routers or other devices) are connected to a local area network (LAN) or other network via links (e.g., twisted pair copper wire cable or optical fiber cable)

Study of how things are arranged

# data[].attributes.body
The rules, or “language,” that computers on a network agree to use is called a protocol. The physical pieces of a network include network interface cards, the cables, and hubs or switches

What happens when more than one transmitter tries to pass data along at once

# data[].attributes.body
When you send information, the data must first be broken down into smaller bits of information called packets. Packets travel across the network in no special order, and can even take different routes to the same destination. Each packet has a flag to tell where it should be delivered. Once the packets arrive at their destination, they are put back together in the right order and can then be interpreted

Can also be considered a type of WAN, although they don’t stand on their own. VPNs are built using another network, but they may have their own security settings and modifications to user connectivity

# data[].attributes.body
A piece of computer hardware or software that accesses a service made available by a server. The server is often (but not always) on another computer system, in which case the client accesses the service by way of a network

# data[].attributes.body
A twisted pair cable for computer networks

# data[].attributes.body
Consists of a bundle of glass threads, each of which is capable of transmitting messages modulated onto light waves

# data[].attributes.body
Client-server is a software architecture model consisting of two parts, client systems and server systems, both communicating over a computer network or on the same computer. A client-server application is a distributed system made up of both client and server software.

# data[].attributes.body
Ordinary copper wire that connects home and many business computers to the telephone company.

# data[].attributes.body
The performance of an Internet connection, which is based on the number of bytes per second that data travels from the user's device to the Internet (upload) and from the Internet (download). Depending on the type of connection, the speed differs dramatically.

# data[].attributes.body
Rope-like bunch of wires used to connect two things

# data[].attributes.body
is computer hardware component that connects a computer to a computer network.

# data[].attributes.body
Wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to provide wireless high-speed Internet and network connections

# data[].attributes.body
The amount of data that can be transmitted in a fixed amount of time.

# data[].attributes.body
A networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the traffic directing functions on the Internet

# data[].attributes.body
Formal standards and policies comprised of rules, procedures and formats that define communication between two or more devices over a network.

# data[].attributes.body
A specialized operating system for a network device such as a router, switch or firewall

# data[].attributes.body
a device for making and breaking the connection in an electric circuit

# data[].attributes.body
a computer network in which the computers connected may be far apart, generally having a radius of half a mile or more.

# data[].attributes.body
the effective center of an activity, region, or network

Company allows customers to access internet. “Outsiders” can use some parts of the intranet

# data[].attributes.body
Private network, acts and looks like the Internet. Only available to employees of the organization

# data[].attributes.body
A computer network that links devices within a building or group of adjacent buildings.

# data[].attributes.body
Computer networks that  are not connected by cables of any kind. The use of a wireless network enables companies to avoid the costs of introducing cables into buildings or as a connection between different equipment locations.
