17

Multiple Choice

Which of the following best describes latency?

1

The time delay between transmitting and receiving data.

2

The amount of data that can be transmitted in a given time.

3

The number of errors occurring in data transmission.

4

18

Multiple Choice

How does the number of users affect network performance?

1

The number of users only affects wired networks, not wireless ones.

2

More users increase network speed by adding more connections.

3

The number of users does not affect performance if using wireless networks.

4

More users reduce bandwidth availability, slowing down the network.
