Requirements and constraints for network system design
1. Describe a network card and why it is considered a network system
Network Card
Is a piece of computer hardware that is designed to allow computers to communicate
and connect over a network.
Network cards provide network connections and can communicate with one another
over the same network using a network switch, or when two computers are directly
connected
Types of network cards:
Wireless network cards
USB network adapters
Typical network cards
Why a network card is a network system
A network card is a network system because it is a network device whereby a
network system is a network device (network card)
It inputs, processes, stores and outputs information.
2.
Network protocol
Set of rules that determine how data is transmitted between different devices
in the same network
Allows connected devices to communicate with each other, regardless of any
differences in their internal processes, structure, or design.
Define the methods and mechanisms necessary to achieve reliable
communication between two devices
Network protocols define methods with which data units are encoded for
transmission and methods for regulating the flow of information between
