Across
- 4. provides multiple ports for connecting nodes
- 7. can be used to share some of a company’s intranet resources with people outside the organization.
- 8. is used to prevent attenuation when packets are traveling long distances
- 11. are rules of communication that ensure packets are sent, received, and interpreted properly, and that data integrity, or accuracy, is guaranteed
- 13. This contains the actual data being transmitted
- 14. is similar to a hub, but it is aware of the exact address or identity of all the nodes attached to it
- 17. consists of a single copper wire that is surrounded by insulation and a wire mesh shield, all inside a plastic sheath
- 19. normally consists of four pairs of wires that are twisted around each other. All wires are collectively bound together in a layer of plastic that you would refer to as the network cable.
- 20. most nodes connect directly to each other
Down
- 1. is a node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network
- 2. is a complex device that stores the routing information for networks. Determines the best route for packets
- 3. a thin strand of glass that transmits pulsating beams of light rather than electric current.
- 5. it is used to communicate and share information between computers and various devices.
- 6. all nodes are connected to a hub or switch and communicate through it.
- 9. The device at each node that performs translation and transmission
- 10. is a data communication system consisting of multiple devices that are relatively near each other and are physically connected using cables or wireless media.
- 12. the logical layout of the cables and devices that connect the nodes of the network
- 15. is the connection of two or more central computers or LANs, generally across a wide geographical area.
- 16. This contains information needed by the network, such as the address of the destination node
- 18. Some organizations offer an internal version of the internet, which contains only the company’s private information.
