A value-added network (VAN) a third-party business that provides networking services such as EDI. . An intranet (intra means within) an internal network that uses Internet technologies extranet (extra means outside or beyond which allows customers or suppliers to access part of its intranet. local area network (LAN) a network that connects computers and devices in a limited geographical area, such as a home, school, office building, or closely positioned group of buildings. metropolitan area network (MAN) a high-speed network that connects local area networks in a metropolitan area, such as a city or town, and handles the bulk of communications activity across that region wide area network (WAN) a network that covers a large geographic area (such as a city, country, or the world) using a variety of wired and wireless transmission media. personal area network (PAN) is a network that connects computers and devices in an individual's workspace using wired and wireless technology. The disadvantages of BANs include data validity and security. client/server network one or more computers act as a server, and the other computers on the network request services from the server server, sometimes called a host computer, , controls access to the hardware, software, and other resources on the network and provides a centralized storage area for programs, data, and information. peer-to-peer (P2P a simple, inexpensive network architecture that typically connects fewer than 10 computers. Each computer or mobile device, called a peer, has equal responsibilities and capabilities, sharing hardware (such as a printer), data, or information with other computers and mobile devices on the peer-to-peer network Communications software consists of programs and apps that (1) help users establish a connection to another computer, mobile device, or network; (2) manage the transmission of data, instructions, and information; and (3) provide an interface for users to communicate with one another. Ethernet is a network standard that specifies no central computer or device on the network (nodes) should control when data can be transmitted A token a special series of bits that functions like a ticket. The device with the token can transmit data over the network. Only one token exists per network. This ensures that only one computer transmits data at a time.
LTE (Long Term Evolution) a network standard that defines how high-speed cellular transmissions use broadcast radio to transmit data for mobile communications dial-up modem is a communications device that converts digital signals to analog signals and analog signals to digital signals so that data can travel along an analog phone line. wireless access point (WAP) a central communications device that allows computers and devices to transfer data wirelessly among themselves or to a wired network using wireless technologies, such as Wi-Fi. To strengthen your wireless signal: If your wireless router or wireless access point has an antenna(s), make sure the antenna(s) is extended completely A router
a communications device that connects multiple computers or other routers together and transmits data to its correct destination on a network broadband router a device that performs the functions of a router and also a broadband modem. A hub or switch a device that provides a central point for cables in a network. Larger networks typically use a hub, while smaller networks use a switch. Some hubs and/or switches include routers. Broadband media transmit multiple signals simultaneously bandwidth The amount of data, instructions, and information that can travel over transmission media Latency the time it takes a signal to travel from one location to another on a network Recommended textbook solutionsComputer Organization and Design MIPS Edition: The Hardware/Software Interface5th EditionDavid A.

COMPUTER SCIENCE The primary advantage of using the binary numbering system rather than the decimal system to represent data is reliability. Describe two disadvantages of using binary rather than decimal notation for the internal representation of information. Verified answer COMPUTER SCIENCE Prove that for each n>0, a language $B_{n}$ exists where a. $B_{n}$ is recognizable by an NFA that has n states, and b. if $B_{n}=A_{1} \cup \cdots \cup A_{k}$, for regular languages $A_{i}$, then at least one of the $A_{i}$ requires a DFA with exponentially many states.
