Across
- 2. - A type of computer that forwards data across a network
- 6. - The maximum amount of data that can be sent in a fixed amount of time, usually measured in bits per second
- 7. - A machine that can run a program, including computers, tablets, servers, routers and smart sensors
- 8. Data added to packets to help route them through the network and reassemble the original message.
- 9. The series of connections between computing devices on a network starting with a sender and ending with a receiver
- 10. Protocol (IP): A protocol for sending data across the internet that assigns unique numbers (IP addresses) to each connected data
- 12. 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.
- 13. - A group of computing devices and programs working together for a common purpose
Down
- 1. protocol for sending packets that does error-checking to ensure all packets are received and properly ordered
- 3. protocol for sending packets quickly with minimal error-checking and no resending of dropped packets
- 4. 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
- 5. Tolerant: Can continue to function een 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
- 7. Information passed through the internet in packets.
- 9. An agreed-upon set of rules that specify the behavior of some system
- 10. Address: The unique number assigned to each device on the internet
- 11. - A group of interconnected computing devices capable of sending or receiving data
