SCRIPT FINAL PAPER QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS COMPLETE SOLUTION BUNDLE
●● Server
Answer: Central Computer in a network
●● Clients
Answer: computers connected to a server
●● Node
Answer: every device connected to a network
●● Peripheral Device
Answer: printer, scanner, etc.
●● Network Interface Controller (NIC)
Answer: computer hardware component that connects a computer to a
network
●● Protocol
,Answer: standard language that exists in order for the connected
computers to communicate (2nd component of a network)
●● Physical Cable System
Answer: connects the networks together (3rd component all networks
have in common)
●● Twisted Pair
Answer: most common type of networking cables, specialized wire that
cancels out electromagnetic interference from other electronic devices
and increases reliability
Networks can be connected wirelessly but generally for a smaller
network
●● Network Hub
Answer: central location of a computer network that serves as the
"traffic cop" or network connect and communication
●● Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Answer: most common protocol that breaks large files into packets and
guarantees reliability of the computer file received by the networks end
user
●● User Datagram protocol (UDP)
, Answer: another common network, mainly used for video streaming,
does not guarantee reliability
●● Network Operating System(NOS)
Answer: software that control the entire network, responsible for the
network traffic control, administering packets, file management, backup,
security
●● Network Administrator
Answer: responsible for smooth network operations, performance and
implementation of new nodes and networks
●● Topology
Answer: mapping of the physical network and logical interconnections
between nodes
●● Bus topology
Answer: (linear bus) each of the networks nodes are connected to a
common linear backbone that has two end points
●● Star Topology
Answer: named for star shape created by nodes that radiate around a
central node, MOST COMMON TYPE
