Computer Networks

This feature possesses large carrying capacity of fibre optic cables.

It is a device used in computer to communicate over a network .

Ethernet and token bus are protocols at the data link layer and a bridge is used when two networks have different data link layers but the same network layer.

It is used at the physical layer and just forwards bits from one network to another.

Router is needed when two networks use the same transport layer but have different network layers. A router can convert token bus frames to the form required by X.25 n/w.

X.21 is a digital signaling interface.

It is used to connect one computer to its neighbor or other hosts in a network.

The simultaneous transmission of data to a number of stations is called broadcasting.

The duplex communication mode supports data in both directions at the same time.

3G telecommunication networks support services that provide an information transfer rate of at least 200 kbit/s. However, many services advertised as 3G provide higher speed than the minimum technical requirements for a 3G service.

This type of topology is a network design in which each node is directly connected to a central network hub or concentrator.

This term in networking refers to the practice of dividing a network into two or more networks.

This term refers to the communication link betweeen two processes in Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD).

Scalable is the system that can start with just a few nodes, but can easily expand to thousands of nodes. It is easy to make larger and more powerful.
