The logical and physical topologies of Wi-Fi are the same as those of shared Ethernet. Detecting collisions is more difficult in radio transmission than in transmission over wired networks, so Wi-Fi attempts to avoid collision to a greater extent than the traditional Ethernet.

What is the hierarchy of programming languages and how do they differ in terms of functionality and complexity?

Programming languages can be categorized into low-level and high-level languages. Low-level languages, like machine code and assembly language, are closer to the computer's hardware and are more complex to write but offer more control over the system. High-level languages, like Python and Java, are easier to write and understand, but are further from the hardware and offer less control. The hierarchy of programming languages is based on their level of abstraction and how close they are to the hardware.


What is ROM in a computer and how does it differ from other types of memory?

Read-only memory (ROM) in a computer is a type of non-volatile memory that stores data permanently and cannot be easily modified or erased. Unlike random-access memory (RAM) which is volatile and temporary, ROM retains its data even when the computer is turned off. ROM is typically used to store essential system software and firmware that is necessary for the computer to function properly.


What does a brick weigh in grams?

There is no way to tell how much a brick weighs in grams. This is not a universal number because materials differ.

What is a function in ICT?

Functions are pre-written formulas. Functions differ from regular formulas in that you supply the value but not the operators,such as (+,-,*,/). You can use the SUM function to add.

What are the different types of Ethernet junction boxes available in the market and how do they differ in terms of features and functionality?

There are several types of Ethernet junction boxes available in the market, including unmanaged, managed, and PoE (Power over Ethernet) switches. Unmanaged switches are basic and plug-and-play, while managed switches offer more control and customization options. PoE switches can power devices over the Ethernet cable. The main differences lie in the level of control, security features, and power capabilities.


How do extended access control list differ from standard access control list?

Standard Access Control Lists (ACLs) only allows you to permit or deny source addresses. You can not block based on protocol, port, or destination. Extended ACLS allow you to block traffic based on source address, destination address, source port, destination port, and protocol.


Is mesh topology multipoint topology?

Mesh topology is not typically classified as a multipoint topology. In mesh topology, each device is connected to multiple other devices, creating a network where data can be routed through multiple paths, enhancing redundancy and reliability. In contrast, multipoint topology often refers to a single communication channel shared among multiple devices, where only one device can transmit at a time. Therefore, while both topologies involve multiple devices, their structures and functionalities differ significantly.

Difference between logical topology and physical topology?

The physical connection is layer 1 of the OSI model, and is the medium through which the data is transfered. i.e., cables The logical connection is layer 3 of the OSI model, and is the network portion. Using the Internetwork Protocol (IP), each host is assigned a 32 bit IP address. e.g. 192.168.1.1

What are the differences between a phone line and Ethernet in terms of data transmission and connectivity?

Phone lines and Ethernet differ in terms of data transmission and connectivity. Phone lines typically have slower data transmission speeds compared to Ethernet, which offers faster and more reliable data transfer. Additionally, Ethernet provides a more stable and secure connection for networking devices compared to phone lines.

How does lan architecture differ from a lan topology?

The LAN Topology is only one of the parts that make up a LAN Architecture. The Topology refers to the way the components in a network are physically connected and the most common Topologies in Ethernet are: Bus, Token Ring, and Star. Bus consists of a single cable segment with all the components connected to that single cable with T-connectors; Token Ring consists of, as the name implies, a cable ring to which all the components are connected and in which data flows in one direction except in the case of an interruption in the ring caused by a computer being down and a token is passed between the computers with whomever holds the token having transmit priority; the last and most currently used is the Star Topology in which all the components are connected to a switch that controls traffic between them. The Architecture encompasses more than just the Topology, defining the type of media (Twisted Pair/Fiber Optic) used to transmit the data, the speed of the transmission, the type of signal (base or broadband), and the maximum length of a segment of cable. Look up IEEE Ethernet Standards for Wired Networks for more information. Whoever answered this question before saying there's no difference has no idea what they're talking about, take it from someone who is studying Information Systems in business and is taking a test on precisely this subject in a LAN class the day after writing this. I hope I answered your question satisfactorily.
