Algorithm A set of instructions designed to perform a specific task
Data Information processed or stored by a computer
Information Unprocessed data
Bandwidth Maximum data transfer rate of a network --capacity lanes on
the highway
Network Two or more computers connected to share each others'
resources;
Delay that may be present in transmission of data on a
Latency network; Amount of time information takes on a network -
time
, Network Latency Delay in taking place of communication over a network -
Internet
Disk Latency Delay that takes place between request to access information
and actually accessing that information amount of time hard
drive takes to open a specific program
LAN A collection of computes and network devices that are
connected on a single network
-ex. Office networks, home networks, classrooms
WAN A collections on LANs and connects multiple networks over
a large geographic area

Protocols Rules on how machines can exchange data and provide
communication on a network
Physical and Logical The two types of network protocols
Physical protocols Network protocol describing the wiring, the connections, and
the signal of the wire
Logical protocols Network protocol that describes the software on how and when
the data is sent to the computers
Peer to Peer A network architecture where computers are allowed to
share its individual data as it pleases. All computers can
share resources and provide resources
Client server A network architecture where there are clients who receive the
