Groups of devices that are connected to a linear backbone cable and is also called a hierarchical network or an expanded star

# data[].attributes.body
A network in which every device is connected directly to every other device.

# data[].attributes.body
A network made up of radio nodes organized in a mesh topology

# data[].attributes.body
The most common network topology today, where there is one central node (the hub), and each computer and network device is attached to that hub individually

# data[].attributes.body
Topology where each node connects to exactly two other nodes and forms a continuous single path.

# data[].attributes.body
Type of network topology in which every computer is connected to a central cable that has a terminator at each end

# data[].attributes.body
The layout of devices that are connected on a computer network

# data[].attributes.body
The study of how things are arranged

# data[].attributes.body
system of rules that allow two or more entities of a communications system to transmit information

# data[].attributes.body
two or more objects exert forces on each other

# data[].attributes.body
a formatted unit of data carried by a packet-switched network, consists of control information and user data

# data[].attributes.body
A technology that creates a safe and encrypted connection over a less secure network. VPNs are built using another network, but they may have their own security settings and modifications to user connectivity.

# data[].attributes.body
The other machines on the client/server system that communicates with the servers but do not communicate with each other

# data[].attributes.body
The server sends and receives data and directs it to each client machine as needed. One computer or one set of computers, the servers, are assigned a specific task

# data[].attributes.body
A technology for wireless local area networking with devices based on the IEEE 802.11 standards

# data[].attributes.body
Links computers to the Internet, so users can share the connection. It chooses the best path for information to travel so that it is received quickly

# data[].attributes.body
A type of hub that uses a table to keep track of destinations. It is the most common way to connect computers that are physically near each other

# data[].attributes.body
Central point where all of the computers on a network connect

# data[].attributes.body
An alternative to traditional wired networking since it does not use cables. It is limited by its ability to send signals over short distances only

# data[].attributes.body
Cable sends data at faster speeds and for longer distances than CAT5 cable and is primarily used to connect distant network segments over longer distances than you would find in a building

# data[].attributes.body
A cable that sends signals at 100 megabits per second

# data[].attributes.body
Most common cable used in Local Area Networks.

# data[].attributes.body
Transmission medium by which computers in a network usually send and receive data.

# data[].attributes.body
Allows a computer to send data to and receive data from another computer.

# data[].attributes.body
Number of bits that can be transmitted or received per second.

# data[].attributes.body
Rules of initiating, interrupting, and continuing communication

# data[].attributes.body
A set of programs used to control access to the network and how it is used.

# data[].attributes.body
Area of a network where “outsiders” of a company can access it

# data[].attributes.body
A private network that looks and acts a lot like the Internet but is available only to the employees of the organization

# data[].attributes.body
Network composed of computers that are far apart, used for greater distances. Internet is the largest WAN.

# data[].attributes.body
Network composed of close-connected computers, used for short distances

# data[].attributes.body
A group of computer systems and other computing hardware devices that are linked together
