Networking Recap

What is serial transmission?

• Data sent one bit at a time
• Data sent multiple bits at a time
• Data sent in parallel
• Data sent in packets

What is an advantage of serial transmission?

• Faster data transfer
• Less crosstalk
• More reliable over long distances
• Easier to implement

What is a disadvantage of serial transmission?

• Slower data transfer
• More crosstalk
• Less reliable over long distances
• Harder to implement

What is parallel transmission?

• Data sent one bit at a time
• Data sent multiple bits at a time
• Data sent in series
• Data sent in packets
