  2. 3. The system that translates user-friendly domain names into IP addresses that computers use to identify each other.
  3. 5. The maximum data transfer rate of a network connection, determining how much data can flow through at once.
  4. 7. The system of assigning unique numerical labels to devices on a network for identification and communication.
  5. 8. The ability of a network to grow and handle increased demand without performance degradation.
  6. 9. The time delay between sending and receiving data across a network.
  7. 10. The actual rate at which data is successfully transmitted over a network.

  1. 2. The likelihood of a network performing its functions without failure over time.
  2. 3. A network protocol that automatically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network.
  3. 4. Establish rules or standards determining how data is transmitted over a network.
  4. 6. A security device or software that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined rules.
  5. 11. The inclusion of backup elements in a network to maintain service if a component fails.
