Q

What is modulation?

A
Move signal from low to high frequency
Amplitude - ASK
Frequency - FSK

Service delivery between processes
44
Q

What is service multiplexing?

A

Delivering multiple services on the same IP

TCP and UDP protocols - Transport Layer

Why use TCP/IP ports?

A

Many applications can function simultaneously on an IP host

47
Q

What does TCP do?

A

Connection-oriented & reliable transport protocol.

Negotiates, establishes, and terminates host-to-host connections
