    Introduction

    Review Questions
    1. Sender, receiver, medium, message, and protocol.
    2. Security, distributed databases, collaborative processing, faster problem solving.
    3. Performance, reliability, security.
    4. Advantages of a multipoint over a point-to-point configuration (type of connec-
    tion) include ease of installation and low cost.
    5. Line configurations (or types of connections) are point-to-point and multipoint.
    6. Point-to-point: mesh, star, and ring. Multipoint: bus
    7. In half-duplex transmission, only one entity can communicate at a time; in a full-
    duplex transmission, both entities can communicate at the same time.
    8. Mesh: secure
    Bus: easy installation
    Star: robust
    Ring: easy fault isolation
    9.
    a. Mesh: n (n – 1) / 2
    b. Star: n
    c. Ring: n – 1
    d. Bus: one backbone and n drop lines
    10. Size, distances covered by the network, structure, and ownership.
    11. An internet is an interconnection of networks. The Internet is the name of a spe-
    cific worldwide network
    12. A protocol defines what is communicated, in what way and when. This provides
    accurate and timely transfer of information between different devices in a net-
    work.
    13. Standards are needed to create and maintain an open and competitive market for
    manufacturers, to coordinate protocol rules, and thus guarantee compatibility of
    data communication technologies.
