What happens when an Ethernet network node broadcasts a data transmission?
The data is broadcast to all network nodes but only the destination node or nodes respond
How is data passed in packets?

What elements of a network ensure that data arrive at their intended destination in the correct sequence?
Rings
Does the network layer uses physical addresses to route data to destination hosts?

What communications device connects multiple computers together and transmits data to its correct destination on a network?
A router connects multiple computers together and transmits data to its correct destination on a network.
How does data encapsulation allows data to be transported across the network?
The physical address is added
What keeps track of data packets and in conjunction with network interface cards helps the data packets find their destination without running into each other on the Ethernet network?
switch
This layer specifies how addresses are assigned and how packets of data are forwarded from one network to another toward the destination?
data link layer
What is the unit of information called when a network adapter adds the source and destination MAC address to the segment of data before it is transmitted on the network?
