25. Information: Unprocessed data
26. Bandwidth: Maximum data transfer rate of a network --capacity - lanes on the
highway
27. Network: Two or more computers connected to share each others' resources;
28. Latency: Delay that may be present in transmission of data on a network;
Amount of time information takes on a network - time
29. Network Latency: Delay in taking place of communication over a network -
Internet
30. Disk Latency: Delay that takes place between request to access information
and actually accessing that information - amount of time hard drive takes to open a
specific program
31. LAN: A collection of computes and network devices that are connected on a
single network
-ex. Office networks, home networks, classrooms
32. WAN: A collections on LANs and connects multiple networks over a large
geographic area
-ex. The internet
33. Protocols: Rules on how machines can exchange data and provide communi-
cation on a network
34. Physical and Logical: The two types of network protocols
35. Physical protocols: Network protocol describing the wiring, the connections,
and the signal of the wire
36. Logical protocols: Network protocol that describes the software on how and
when the data is sent to the computers
37. Peer to Peer: A network architecture where computers are allowed to share
its individual data as it pleases. All computers can share resources and provide
resources
38. Client server: A network architecture where there are clients who receive the
resources and servers who provide the resources. Servers are in charge of the
network resources like printers, files, etc
