Question English Answer English
Network applications
start learning
Web application, video/audio streaming, real-time video/audio streaming
Netwrok connectivity
start learning
Point-to-point link, Multiple-access link
Switched networks
start learning
Circuit switching network, Packet switching network
Circuit switching network
start learning
establishes a dedicated circuit across a sequence of links and then allows the source node to send a stream of bits
Packet switching
start learning
send discrete blocks of data to each other. A block of data is called packet/message. Switched networks typically use a strategy called store-and-forward
switch
start learning
node responsible for storing and forwarding packets
host
start learning
node that use a network
router/gateway
start learning
switch that is connected to two or more networks
routing
start learning
process of determining, by the switch, how to forward the message to its destination
multiplexing
start learning
sharing of a system resource among multiple users
STDM
start learning
Synchronous time-division multiplexing, divide time into equal parts and allow each data flow to be sent over during this period
FDM
start learning
frequency division multiplexing, transmit each data flow over the link at a different frequency
Statistical multiplexing
start learning
data frames are forwarded to the nodes based on their request
channel
start learning
connects one process to another, allows for communication between processes
Request/Reply channel
start learning
ensures that every message sent by one side is received by the other side and that only one copy of each message is delivered
Message stream channel
start learning
support: one-way and two-way traffic. The message stream channel doesn't have to guarantee that all messages are delivered, however, it needs to ensure that those messages arrive in the same order in which they were sent
OSI/7 layer architecture
start learning
Physical, Data, Network, Transmission, Session, Presentation, Appliaction layers
Physical Layer
start learning
handlers the transmission of raw bits over a communication channel
Data Layer
start learning
collects a stream of bits into a larger aggregate called a frame
Network Layer
start learning
handles routing among nodes within a packet-switched network
Transport Layer
start learning
implements a process-to-process channel of communication
Session Layer
start learning
provides name space that is used to tie together the transport streams
Presentation Layer
start learning
decide on format of data exchanged between peers
Application Layer
start learning
include HTTP enabling web browsers to request pages from web servers
protocol
start learning
communication service used to exchange messages. Protocol must have service and peer interface
API
start learning
Application Programming Interface- interface provided by the OS allowing for executing protocols
socket
start learning
point where a local application process attaches to the network
bandwidth
start learning
ratio of bits per second that can be transmitted on the link
latency
start learning
describe how long does it takes a message to travel from one end of network to the other one
Delay X Bandwidth product
start learning
inform us about number of bits that must be transmitted before the first bit arrives to the receiver
