  1. 1. It's a unique string of numbers separated by periods (IPv4) or colons (IPv6) that identifies each device connected to the internet or a local network.
  2. 5. Is a network device used in fibre optic communications system to regenerate or replicate a signal
  3. 7. The rate at which data moves over a communication channel, typically measured in bits per second (bps) or its multiples
  4. 8. A fundamental element that serves as a connection point within a network or data structure.
  5. 9. Refers to the amount of data that can be transmitted over a network in a fixed amount of time. It is measured in bits per second.
  6. 11. A piece of network hardware that connects multiple devices, such as computers and servers, to form a local area network (LAN).
  7. 12. A device attached to the end-points of a bus network or daisy-chain to absorb signals so that they do not reflect back down the line
  8. 14. A short range wireless technology which allows two devices to connect for the purpose of communication
  9. 15. A node that serves as an entry and exit point to connect two or more different networks, especially those using different protocols or technologies
  10. 16. A network topology where all devices, or nodes, are connected to a single, central cable called the "bus" or "backbone"
  11. 17. A thin flexible fibre with a glass core through which light signals can be sent with very little loss of strength.
  12. 18. A hardware device which connects a number of networks together either by cable or wireless, to allow data transmission
  13. 19. An electronic board fitted to a computer to allow it to be connected to a network (NIC)
Down
  1. 2. A system for connecting a number of computer systems to form a local area network, with protocols to control the passing of information and to avoid simultaneous transmission by two or more systems
  2. 3. When things happen at the same time
  3. 4. A type of network topology characterized by a central hub or switch that serves as the focal point for connecting all other devices in the network
  4. 6. A piece of networking hardware used to connect one network device to other network devices or to connect two or more computers to share devices such as printers or scanners.
  5. 10. A hardware device or software program that serves as a central entry and exit point for a network, connecting it to other networks, especially those using different communication protocols
  6. 13. A network topology in which each node connects to exactly two other nodes, forming a single continuous pathway for signals through each node. Data travels from node to node, with each node along the way handling every packet.
  7. 16. Used within a Bus Network. It is a main cable where data can travel in both directions. Terminators are placed at each end to stop signals bouncing back.
