Networking

Linking two or more computers together within a company to facilitate sharing of information is called a

• Network

• Shared space

• Ethernet

• Bandwidth

Which is not an advantage of Local Area Networks (LAN)

• Shared Information

• Shared Space

• Shared Hardware

• Shared Storage Devices

Bandwidth is

• rate at which a carrier can share its data

• rate at which a radio frequency is carried across cable lines

A "collision" is when

• Two or more Ethernet computers attempt to write data at the same time

• Two or more Ethernet computers attempt to sense data at the same time

Exponential Backoff is

• Waiting one more second each attempt to write data

• Using exponentially faster bandwith to write data on the ethernet

• Using exponentially longer wait time to write date on the Ethernet

The device that separates collision domains is called a

• Ethernet

• Switch

• Router

Allocating a communication line for the use of two end users is called

• Routing

• Switching

• Networking

The number of route segments a message has taken is called the

• Hop limit

• Hop count

IP stands for

• Internet packet

• Internet protocol

The potential problem with "packet switching" is

• Packets take too long at any one router

• Packets may arrive at the destination out of order
