Answers | 100% Solved
Innovation - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔a novel or improved idea, device, product, etc.
or the development thereof
Prototype - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A preliminary sketch of an idea or model for
something new. It's the original drawing from which something real might
be built or created.
Bit - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A contraction of "Binary Digits". A bit is the single unit
of information in a computer, typically represented as 0 or 1.
Binary - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A way of representing information using only two
options.
Bandwidth - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔maximum transmission capacity of the device
expressed typically in metric multiples of bits per second
Bit Rate - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The numbers of Bits that are conveyed or
processed per unit of time. EX: 8bits/per second.

sender to receiver
Protocol - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A set of rules governing the exchange or
transmission of data between devices.
American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) - 🧠ANSWER
✔✔The universally recognized raw text format that any computer can
understand.
Code - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔To write instructions for a computer.
Requests for Comments (RFC) - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Documents are how
standards and protocols are defined and published for all to see on the

,Packets - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔small chunks of information that have been
carefully formed from larger chunks of information for the purpose of
transmitting through a network
Router - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A computer which receives messages travelling
across a network and redirects them towards their intended destinations
based on the addressing information included with the messages.
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Provides reliable,
ordered, and error-checked delivery of a stream of packets on the internet.
TCP is tightly linked with IP and is usually seen as TCP/IP in writing.
Domain named system (DNS) - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔The internet's system for
converting alphabetic names into numeric IP addresses.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Is the protocol used
by the world wide web. It describes how messages are formatted and
interchanged, and how web servers respond to commands.
Abstractions - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Reducing information and detail to focus on
essential characteristics.

, Server - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A computer that awaits and responds to requests
for data.
Client - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔A computer that requests data stored on a
computer.
HTTPS - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔a protocol for secure communication over a
computer network which is widely used on the Internet.
Digital Certificate - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔an electronic document used to prove
ownership of a public key.
DDoS - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔pertaining to or being an incident in which a network
of computers floods an online resource with high levels of unwanted traffic
so that it is inaccessible to legitimate service requests
HTTP Request - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔When you type a URL in your browser,
