  16. 32. contiguous sequence of digital bits sent over a network/internet, often used for video and music
  17. 35. object-orientated (or scripting) programming language used mainly on the web to enhance HTML pages, uses client side processing
  18. 36. the main advantage of peer-to-peer
  19. 37. large computer that handles requests from clients
  20. 38. newer IP address format which uses 128 bits, such as A8F0:7FFF:F0F1:F000:3DD0:256A:22FF:AA00
  21. 40. network component used in star topology, sends to only one specific device as specified by the recipient MAC address
  22. 42. an IP address reserved for internal network use behind a router
  23. 47. collection of multimedia web pages stored on a website, which uses the internet to access information from servers and other computers
  24. 49. situation in which two messages/data from different sources are trying to transmit along the same data channel
  25. 50. network consisting of cables, switches, and WAP
  26. 51. network that can handle file requests WITHOUT any server

Down
  1. 2. network used by traditional telephones when making calls or when sending faxes
  2. 3. cable made up of glass fibre wires which use pulses of light (rather than electricity) to transmit data
  3. 5. type of wireless connection for short distance data transmission
  4. 6. used to connect devices to a LAN wirelessly
  5. 7. an IP address allocated by the user’s ISP to identify the location of their device on the internet
  6. 10. type of cable in which two wires of a single circuit are twisted together. Several of them make up a single cable.
  7. 12. smol computer that needs to make requests to a server
  8. 14. text that links to a specific webpage

  17. 33. IP address format which uses 32 bits, such as 200.21.100.6
  18. 34. client machine that needs access to the network, cannot do much processing without the server
  19. 39. more modern network topology, most LANs nowadays are set up like this, uses a switch to connect all components
  20. 41. a method used to detect collisions and resolve the issue
  21. 43. protocol of the internet
  22. 44. network set up where all devices are connected via cables
  23. 45. the type of electromagnetic waves uses for WiFi
