What is broadcasting and Name a network connection device that relies on it and one that does not rely on it?
Broadcasting is when a packet is sent to all hosts, or all hosts on a subnet. When a broadcast packet is sent through a typical ethernet switch, all port lights will flicker as that packet is forwarded out every port. Other packets are inspected for their intended destination and then forwarded out the correct port.
Two very necessary and prevalent protocols, DHCP and ARP, rely on broadcasting. This means a typical ethernet router/gateway device relies on broadcasts. A device that does not rely on broadcasts is an ethernet NIC.
What else can I help you with?
What types of traffic should have the highest priority through the network for a company that relies on real-time applications such as VoIP and streaming media for communicating with customers?
Voice and Video...
What technology discussed in the lecture might be the most helpful to hikers lost in the wilderness?
GPS would be the most helpful. It can tell the hikers where they are and where they need to go. Also, since it relies on satellites, the device will never be out of range as cell phones or radios might be.
What is an updated and digital version of X25 that also relies on packet switching?
Frame relay.
Does technology keep up to its promises?
I believe that allot of times technology does keep its promised but some of it relies on your standards
What is a global system of interconnected computer network?
The Internet is a global network connecting millions of computers. More than 100 countries are linked into exchanges of data, news and opinions. Unlike online services, which are centrally controlled, the Internet is decentralized by design. Each Internet computer, called a host, is independent. Its operators can choose which Internet services to use and which local services to make available to the global Internet community. Remarkably, this anarchy by design works exceedingly well. There are a variety of ways to access the Internet. Most online services, such as America Online, offer access to some Internet services. It is also possible to gain access through a commercial Internet Service Provider (ISP). It must be understood that the Internet is not synonymous with World Wide Web. Web is a way of accessing information over the medium of the Internet. It is an information-sharing model that is built on top of the Internet. The Web uses the HTTP protocol, only one of the languages spoken over the Internet, to transmit data. The Web is just one of the ways that information can be disseminated over the Internet. The Internet, not the Web, is also used for e-mail, which relies on SMTP, Usenet news groups, instant messaging and FTP. So, the Web is just a portion of the Internet, albeit a large portion, but the two terms are not synonymous and should not be confused. Mobile phones, data cards, and cellular routers allow users to connect to the Internet from anywhere there is a cellular network supporting that device's technology.
Which technology relies on personal area network?
Bluetooth technology relies on a PAN (personal area network)
What is on a network that relies on a server for its resources?
A "client".
Does LimeWire work when using WiFi?
Yes, LimeWire can work when using WiFi, as it relies on an internet connection to function. If your device is connected to a stable WiFi network, you can use LimeWire to share and download files. However, keep in mind that LimeWire is no longer officially supported, and using it may expose you to security risks and copyright issues.
What network topology relies on a main line of network cabling normally coaxial cable?
Bus
Can you have a LAN party when the PSN is down?
Yes, you can have a LAN (Local area network) party when the PlayStation Network PSN) is down. A LAN connection does not require Internet access, which is what the PSN relies on. As long as you have an ethernet cord and two or more PlayStation 3 systems, a LAN party is possible.
What physical network topology has the inherent weakness of a single point of failure?
The physical network topology that has the inherent weakness of a single point of failure is the star topology. In a star topology, all devices are connected to a central hub or switch. If this central device fails, the entire network becomes inoperable, as all communication relies on it. This makes the network vulnerable to disruptions if the hub experiences any issues.
What is a type of computer that relies on other computers elsewhere to store information for it?
a network computer
GIS relies on specialized software but this software only works if its given?
real-world data, a device that can run the software, power for the device, etc.
The wired or wireless means of connecting a computer to the internet is called?
The wired or wireless means of connecting a computer to the internet is called networking. The wired network uses cables while the wireless one relies on signal transmissions without cables.
What name is given to the time measuring device which relies upon the sun casting a shadow on its face?
A sundial.
Extending The Range Of A Wireless USB Network Adapter?
A wireless adapter that uses a universal serial bus (USB) connection gives a business the flexibility to make any computer or laptop a part of the wireless network. A wireless USB network adapter relies on a limited amount of power when it is attached to a laptop or other device. This can sometimes restrict the range of the adapter. One way to extend the range is to change the antenna on the unit. A wireless USB network adapter uses some type of antenna to send and receive signals. This antenna can often be removed and replaced from the unit. The most common type of antenna on a wireless USB network adapter is an omnidirectional antenna that receives signals in all directions. A much stronger connection can be maintained across a longer distance with a directional antenna that focuses on signals coming from a specific location. These antennas are inexpensive and very effective in an office environment. Unfortunately, this will not work with a wireless USB network adapter that contains an integrated fractal antenna that cannot be replaced.
What is the difference between a network router and switch?
The difference between a router and a switch has to do with the layers of the OSI model that they reside in. A switch is a layer 2 device, which means it relies on the MAC (physical) address for switching packets. A router is a layer 3 device, using the network (logical) address. A router also can forward packets to another network; a switch does not do that. In addition, a switch forwards all broadcast packets whereas a router does not forward broadcast packets.
