Cards in this deck (8)
- 1What are the two types of networks?1) LAN (local area network)
2) WAN (wide area network) - 2What is LAN?This is a group of computers/ devices that connect to a server over a small area. LAN is used in schools ,colleges and at home
- 3What is WAN?the communication of networks over a large area ( across cities, states, or countries). They can be private to connect parts of a business or they can be more public to connect smaller networks together.
- 4what are factors that affect the performance of networks?1) errors
2)speed
3) memory
4) distance
5) CPU
6) applications
7) input/output
- 5How does a client server work ?the client, makes a service request from another, the server. The key point about a client-server model is that the client is dependent on the server to provide and manage the information.
- 6How does peer-to peer network work ?In a P2P network, no single provider is responsible for being the server. Each computer stores files and acts as a server. Each computer has equal responsibility for providing data.
- 7what is a networkA network is created when more than one device is connected together. A network can be a small collection of computers connected within a building (eg a school, business or home) or it can be a wide collection of computers connected around the world.
- 8what is a data packetfiles have to be broken up into small chunks of data aka data packets in order to be transmitted over a network. The data is then re-built once it reaches the destination computer. Networking hardware is required to connect computers and manage data packets communication. Protocols control how data is transmitted across networks.
