The rules, or “language,” that computers on a network agree to use

# data[].attributes.body
Occurs when multiple transmitters attempt to send data simultaneously on a network, resulting in interference.

# data[].attributes.body
Smaller units of data that travel across networks, assembled at the destination to reconstruct the original data.

# data[].attributes.body
A secure network connection established over a public network, ensuring encrypted data transmission.

# data[].attributes.body
Computers or devices that access and utilize resources provided by servers on a network.

# data[].attributes.body
A network architecture where servers handle specific tasks and clients communicate with servers but not directly with each other.

# data[].attributes.body
The rate at which data travels over a network, measured in Mbps or other data transfer units.

# data[].attributes.body
Wireless technology using radio frequencies for local area networking and internet access.

# data[].attributes.body
Connects networks together and manages data traffic between them, often linking computers to the Internet.

# data[].attributes.body
Similar to a hub, but it intelligently directs data specifically to the intended recipient on a network.

# data[].attributes.body
A device used to connect multiple computers on a network, transmitting data to all connected devices.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology that enables data transmission without physical cables, often using radio frequencies or Wi-Fi.

# data[].attributes.body
A cable that transmits data using light through thin glass tubes, providing faster speeds over longer distances than traditional cables.

# data[].attributes.body
A common type of network cable used in LANs, such as CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6, and CAT7, offering varying speeds and performance.

# data[].attributes.body
Transmission medium used for sending and receiving data between computers in a network.

# data[].attributes.body
Hardware components that enable computers to send and receive data on a network.

# data[].attributes.body
The rate of data transfer over a network, usually measured in bits per second.

# data[].attributes.body
Rules governing communication and interaction between computers on a network.

# data[].attributes.body
Software that manages and secures a computer network.

# data[].attributes.body
Sections of a network that permit authorized external users (such as customers) limited access to an organization's intranet.

# data[].attributes.body
When connected computers are far apart—in different buildings, different cities, or even different countries—we call the network a WAN. The Internet is the largest of all WANs, made up of many smaller networks.

# data[].attributes.body
A private network accessible only to an organization's employees, resembling the Internet but restricted in access.

# data[].attributes.body
In a LAN, computers are close together, typically in the same building or office.

# data[].attributes.body
A computer network is formed when two or more computers are connected. A network can be made up of two computers or hundreds of thousands of computers—there is no maximum size.
