Across
- 3. A type of computer that forwards data across a network
- 7. An agreed-upon set of rules that specify the behavior of some system
- 11. a protocol for sending data across the Internet that assigns unique numbers (IP addresses) to each connected device
- 14. the system responsible for translating domain names like example.com into IP addresses

Down
- 1. differing access to computing devices and the Internet, based on socioeconomic, geographic, or demographic characteristics
- 2. a group of computing devices and programs working together for a common purpose
- 4. 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 times, often in groups.
- 5. A chunk of data sent over a network. Larger messages are divided into packets that may arrive at the destination in order, out-of-order, or not at all
- 6. The unique number assigned to each device on the Internet

- 9. a machine that can run a program, including computers, tablets, servers, routers, and smart sensors
- 10. The inclusion of extra components so that a system can continue to work even if individual components fail, for example by having more than one path between any two connected devices in a network
- 12. the maximum amount of data that can be sent in a fixed amount of time, usually measured in bits per second
- 13. the series of connections between computing devices on a network starting with a sender and ending with a receiver
