Across
- 4. a device that enables data packets to be moved between different networks.
- 6. a verification method used to check if data transferred has been altered or corrupted.
- 8. data that arrives at the destination with the bits no longer synchronised.
- 9. data that can be sent one direction only.
- 10. the actual data being carried in a data packet.
- 11. a horizontal and vertical parity check on a block of data being transmitted.
Down
- 1. stages in a network that can receive and transmit data packets; routers are nodes in communication networks.
- 2. an error checking method in which all the 1-bits the data packet payload are added and the total is stored in the packet trailer; the same calculation is repeated at the receiving station.
- 3. the part of a data packet that indicates the end of the data packets and cylic redundancy check.
- 5. a type of serial data transmission which has become the industry standard for connecting computers via a USB port.
- 7. a number in a data packet header used to stop data packets that never reach their destination from 'clogging up' the data paths/routes.
