Computer Networks

Ethernet is a standard technology used for connecting devices in a wired local area network (LAN).

The Open System Interconnection (OSI) model is a conceptual framework that characterizes the communication functions of a telecommunication or computing system into seven distinct layers.

WAN stands for Wide Area Network, which is a telecommunications network that extends over a large geographical distance.

LAN stands for Local Area Network, a computer network that interconnects computers within a limited area such as a residence or office building.

Servers provide resources, data, or services to other computers, known as clients, over a network.

This is the correct option. A continuous frequency, capable of being modulated or impressed with a second signal, is called carrier.

This is the correct option because frame relay operates in both the physical layer and the data link layer.

This is the correct option. In circuit switching, a dedicated physical connection is established between the sending and receiving device. Before starting communication, the station must make a reservation of resources to be used during the communication. These resources remain dedicated during the entire duration of data transfer.

This is the correct option. An access method, when two or more stations attempt to use the same channel at the same time, is called contention.

This technique of measurement of a traffic network can take the the form of hardware based collectors or probes or software based collectors.

This analysis provides insight into the flow of traffic with the network; specifically who and what of traffic consumption.

This component serves as a VXLAN gateway, translating traffic between the logical network and a physical VLAN.

This component abstracts the physical network and provides access level switching in the vSphere hypervisor.

This tool analyzes conversations between devices on the network from location where the analyzer is measuring.
