What determines the scale and flow of data through a network
Network types and topologies
Why is it useful to categorize Network types appliances applications functions in topologies
What are the advantages of a client server Network compared to a peer-to-peer Network
Fgh
What are the advantages of a client server Network compared to a peer-to-peer Network
Fgh
How does a logical topology differ from a physical laptopology
Hjh
What do diagrams of point-to-point start in mesh topologies look like
Fhf
Two or more computer systems that are linked by a transmission medium and share one or more protocols that enable them to exchange data
Network
Devices that send receive and forward data
Nodes
The communication pathways between notes
Lynx
What are the two general kinds of nodes
Intermediate and end systems
Perform a forwarding function
Intermediate nodes
Perform a forwarding function
Intermediate nodes
Send and received out of traffic they are also known as hosts
End system nodes
Send and received out of traffic they are also known as hosts
End system nodes
Can be classified as either clients or servers
End system nodes
Makes network application and resources available to other hosts
A server
Makes network application and resources available to other hosts
A server
Consumes the services provided by servers
A client
Where some nodes act mostly as clients and the servers are more powerful computer
Client server Network
Where some nodes act mostly as clients and the servers are more powerful computer
Client server Network
Where host acts as both client and server a decentralized model it’s also known as a workgroup
Peer to peer
A computer with a operating system and software designed to perform a particular Network role
Appliances
The OS / software runs on its own CPU memory storage and network interfaces
Physical hardware
The appliance OS is deployed as a virtual machine running on a hypervision computing platform
Virtual appliances
