APSCP Exam Review Questions And Answers 100% Verified
ASCII - ANSWER American Standard Code for Information Interchange; the universally
recognized raw text format that any computer can understand.
Bandwidth - ANSWER Transmission capacity measure by bit rate.
Binary - ANSWER A way of representing information using only two options
Bit - ANSWER A contraction of "Binary Digit"; the single unit of information in a
computer, typically represented as a 0 or 1.
Bit Rate - ANSWER (sometimes written bitrate) the number of bits that are conveyed or
processed per unit of time. e.g. 8 bits/sec.
Code - ANSWER (v) to write code, or to write instructions for a computer.
DNS - ANSWER The service that translates URLs to IP addresses.
HTTP - ANSWER HyperText Transfer Protocol - the protocol used for transmitting web
pages over the Internet.
IETF - Internet Engineering Task Force - is the organization that develops and promotes
voluntary Internet standards and protocols, in particular the standards that comprise
the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP).
Innovation - A new or improved idea, device, product, etc., or the development there of.
, Internet - A group of computers and servers that are connected to each other.
IP Address- ANSWER A number assigned to anything that is attached to the Internet.
Latency- ANSWER The time it takes for a bit to travel from its sender to its receiver.
Net Neutrality- ANSWER the principle that all Internet traffic should be treated the same
by Internet Service Providers.
Network Redundancy- ANSWER multiples of backups to ensure reliability in cases of
high usage or failure.
Packets - ANSWER Small chunks of information that have been carefully formed from
larger chunks of information.
Protocol - ANSWER A set of rules governing the exchange or transmission of data
between devices.
Router - ANSWER A type of computer that forwards data across a network.
TCP - Transmission Control Protocol - reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of a
stream of packets on the internet. TCP is very closely related to IP and is usually thought
of as TCP/IP in practice.
Abstraction - Pull out specific differences in order to make one solution work for
multiple problems.
Aggregation - ANSWER A computation in which rows from a data set are grouped
together and used to compute a single value of more significant meaning or
measurement. Common aggregations include: Average, Count, Sum, Max, Median, etc.
