Network - CORRECT ANSWER-Two or more computers that are connected via
software and hardware so they can communicate to each other
Node - CORRECT ANSWER-any device connected to a network
Benefits of networks - CORRECT ANSWER-sharing internet connection, sharing
printers and other peripherals, sharing files, common communications
Network administration - CORRECT ANSWER-Involves tasks such as (1) installing
new computers and devices, (2) monitoring the network to ensure it's performing
efficiently, (3) updating and installing new software on the network, and (4)
configuring, or setting up, proper security for a network.
data transfer rate (bandwidth) - CORRECT ANSWER-The maximum speed at which
data can be transmitted between two nodes on a network
Throughput - CORRECT ANSWER-the actual speed of data transfer that is achieved
How can networks be classified or defined - CORRECT ANSWER-Distance between
nodes, the way in which the network is managed, the set of rules used to exchange
data between network node
network architectures - CORRECT ANSWER-The design of a computer network;
includes both physical and logical design.

Two ways a network can be administered - CORRECT ANSWER-Central
administration, local administration
Central administered network - CORRECT ANSWER-Tasks performed from one
computer can affect the other computers in the network (client/server network)
Locally administered network - CORRECT ANSWER-He configuration and
maintenance if the network must be performed on each individual computer attached
to the network (P2P network)
