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.

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.

I believe that allot of times technology does keep its promised but some of it relies on your standards
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.
Bluetooth technology relies on a PAN (personal area network)
A "client".
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.

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.
If you're getting a dial tone on your rotary telephone but can't dial out on your VoIP service, it could be due to a few factors. First, ensure that your VoIP device is correctly connected to your network and powered on. Additionally, check if the VoIP service is activated and configured properly, as network issues or incorrect settings may prevent outgoing calls. Lastly, confirm that your internet connection is stable, as VoIP relies on it for functionality.
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.

Yes, the Find My iPhone app can work without a SIM card as long as the device is connected to Wi-Fi or a trusted network. The app relies on the device's internet connectivity to communicate its location. However, if the device is offline and not connected to Wi-Fi, it won't be able to update its location until it regains internet access.

GPS connection refers to the ability of a device to determine its precise location using the Global Positioning System (GPS). This system relies on a network of satellites that transmit signals to GPS receivers, which calculate their position based on the time it takes for the signals to reach them. GPS is widely used in navigation, mapping, and location-based services across various devices, including smartphones, vehicles, and outdoor equipment. Its accuracy can vary depending on environmental factors, but it generally provides location data within a few meters.
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.
