Across
  1. 4. a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication
  2. 5. a network hardware device that connects your home or business network to your Internet Service Provider (ISP)
  3. 10. advanced, high-speed networking cables that transmit data as light pulses through thin strands of glass or plastic, rather than electrical signals through copper
  4. 11. the time delay between sending a data request and receiving a response, typically measured in milliseconds (ms)
  5. 13. a networking device that acts as a central hub to connect your home or business network to the internet
  6. 15. a global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols
  7. 16. the process of converting readable data (plaintext) into an unreadable, scrambled format (ciphertext) using algorithms and a secret key
  8. 17. the internet's "phonebook," translating human-friendly domain names into machine-readable IP addresses
  9. 18. a high-performance computer built for intensive professional tasks like 3D modeling, video editing, engineering, and scientific analysis
  10. 19. the maximum rate at which data can be transferred over an internet connection within a given time
  11. 23. a networking device that allows wireless-capable devices to connect to a wired network.
Down
  1. 1. a hardware device that connects multiple devices—such as computers, printers, and servers—within a Local Area Network (LAN) to enable communication, improve data efficiency, and manage traffic
  2. 2. a facility allowing computers, smartphones, or other devices to connect to the internet or communicate with one another wirelessly within a particular area
  3. 3. a core, connection-oriented networking protocol that ensures reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of data between applications on an IP network
  4. 6. a physical network cable used to connect devices—such as computers, routers, switches, and gaming consoles—to a local area network (LAN) or modem for internet access
  5. 7. a standardized set of rules, procedures, or conventions governing how data is transmitted between devices in a network or how actions are performed in formal, scientific, or diplomatic situations
  6. 8. a small unit of data used for transmitting information across computer networks
  7. 9. a powerful computer or software system designed to manage, store, and distribute data, applications, and resources to other computers, known as "clients," over a network
  8. 12. a desktop computer or workstation that is capable of obtaining information and applications from a server
  9. 14. a company or organization that provides individuals and businesses with access to the internet
  10. 20. a large-scale telecommunications network that connects smaller networks—such as Local Area Networks (LANs)—across vast distances, spanning cities, countries, or the globe
  11. 21. a central networking device that connects multiple computers or Ethernet devices, acting as a, node to facilitate data sharing within a Local Area Network (LAN)
  12. 22. a, high-speed network that connects computers, servers, and devices (like printers or phones) within a limited,,, shared geographical area, such as a home, school, or office building
