Transmission Rate - Correct Answer>>The speed of a link measured in bits/second.
Packets - Correct Answer>>bundling data into smaller chunks, resulting packages of information.
Packet Switch - Correct Answer>>takes a packet arriving on one of its incoming communication links and
forwards that packet on one of its outgoing communication links.
Most Prominent Packet Switches - Correct Answer>>1. Routers
2. Link-Layer Switches
Link-Layer Switches - Correct Answer>>generally used in access networks.
Router Switches - Correct Answer>>used in the network core.
Route/Path - Correct Answer>>the sequence of communication links and packet switches traversed by a
packet from the sending end-system to the receiving end-system.
, Internet Service Providers - Correct Answer>>(ISPs) in itself is a network of packet switches and
communication links.

among routers and end systems.
The Internet's Principal Protocols - Correct Answer>>TCP/IP
Distributed Applications - Correct Answer>>applications that involve multiple end systems that exchange
data with each other.
Socket Interface - Correct Answer>>specifies how a program running on one end systems asks the
internet infrastructure to deliver data to a specific destination program running on another end system.
2 Elements of Hosts - Correct Answer>>1. Clients
2. Servers
Access Network - Correct Answer>>the network that physically connects an end system to the first
router (also known as the "edge router") on a path from the end system to any other distant end system.
