Across
- 1. the solution is to chop up big transmission into many small pieces called what
- 5. every computer connected to a network gets a what
- 7. as network traffic increases, the probability that two computers will attempt to write data at the same time also increases, this is called what
- 8. Ethernet requires that each computer has a unique media access control address or what
- 11. a second benefit of networks was the ability to what
- 16. many computers can simultaneous sense the carrier, hence the sense in multiple access and the rate at which the carrier and transmit data is called its what
- 17. network routers are constantly trying to balance the load across whatever routes they know to ensure speedy and reliable delivery, which is called what
- 18. this is essentially how big computer networks are constructed, including the biggest on of all
Down
- 2. to reduce collisions and improve efficiency, we need to shrink the number of devices on any given shared carrier, what's called the what
- 3. whats interesting about these bigger networks is that there's often multiple paths to get data from one location to another and this brings us to another fundamental networking topic
- 4. it also had the nice property of being what with no central authority or single point of failure
- 6. this what if all the computers use the same wait duration so a random period is added
- 9. in its simplest form, a what are connected to a single, common Ethernet cable
- 10. another approach for getting data from one place to another is what
- 12. with millions of computers online exchanging data what can appear and disappear in milliseconds
- 13. the number of hops a message takes along its route is called the what
- 14. the internet what in leaps and bounds in the decades since
- 15. although many LAN technologies were developed and deployed the most famous and successful was what developed in the early 1970's at Zerox PARC
