- 5. - a group of interconnected computing devices capable of sending or receiving data
- 11. - An agreed-upon set of rule that specify the behavior of some system
- 12. - A protocol for sending packets quickly with minimal error-checking and no resending of dropped packets
- 14. - can continue to function even in the event of individual component failures. This is important because elements of complex systems like a computer network fail at unexpected time often in groups.

- 16. - a group of computing devices and programs working together for a common purpose
Down
- 1. - Information passed through the internet in packets.

- 10. - Data added to packets to help route them through the network and reassemble the original message.
- 13. - the inclusion of extra components so that a system can continue to work even if individual components fail, for connected devices on network
