Networks Introduction
Cards in this deck (6)
- 1What is a Network Manager?> Way to manage other computers over a network
> Can manage other computers to update software, fix problems (e.g., incorrectly setup software), or generally helping users (e.g., resetting passwords) - 2Why are Networks usedful for Data Exchange?> Data can be sent between computers without the need for an intermediate device (e.g., a USB stick), or some form of external storage
- 3What are some Examples of Resources can be Shared on a Network?> Printers
> Scanners
> Internet connections etc. - 4What is Bandwidth and how does it affect a Network's Performance?> Amount of data that can be transferred in a given time (like the flow of a pipe)
> Greater the bandwidth, the better the potential performance
> Bandwidth is shared between all active users, so too many users will slow down the network - 5What is Topology and how does it affect a Network's Performance?> How the computers are laid out and connected together
> Has a large impact on the network performance and reliability, due to network collisions and other factors - 6How do Wired / Wireless Networks Compare in Performance?> Wired networks are usually much faster and more reliable (since interference is much less likely)
> Wireless performance depends on how well the computer can pick up a signal, and any other signal interference, so is often slower by a large margin
