Define the terms packet datagram frame and token?
Data is transmitted on a network in pieces called packets, datagrams, or frames. Specifically, the frame is the header and trailer surrounding the data. The entire header, trailer, and data is called the packet or datagram. A token is a small packet used on Token Ring or FDDI networks. The token is passed from node to node to indicate to the node that data can be sent on the network.
What is a network standard that specifies no central computer or device on the network should control when data can be transmitted?
Ethernet.
What hardware inisde a personal computer provides the ability to acess data transmitted over a network?
To access a network, some type of network card must be installed in the computer.
The electrical data roadways through which bits are transmitted are called?
bus
What is total amount of data that a network can handle called?
Bandwidth
What is the maximum speed at which data can be transmitted between two nodes on a network.?
Data transfer rate (also called bandwidth)

What does TCP breaks data into?
Data transmitted over the Internet is broken into Packets when transmitted over the Internet or other network.
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?
Packet
What is a network standard that specifies no central computer or device on the network should control when data can be transmitted?
Ethernet.
Which of the following can be used to monitor and capture data that is transmitted over a network?
packet sniffer
Which standardization model describes the steps that data must go through to be transmitted across a data network?
the OSI model
What devices can be used to prevent data from being transmitted into or out of a network?
A router A firewall
What are connections that are established before data needs to be transmitted and maintained after transmission is complete with a network?
PVC's
Which hashing algorithm is used to verify the integrity of data that has been transmitted over a network?
MD5
Which osi model break data into smaller pieces?
The Transport layer breaks the application data into segments, or smaller pieces for transport across the network.
When distinct units of data are assembled or combined this called?
In a computer network, this is known as reassembly. This process takes the pieces of a data message and puts them back together after they were broken apart before transmission.
