Q

what is the difference of using half duplex or full duplex?

A

half duplex: the data can be transfer in both direction but not at the same time. whereas in the full duplex the data can transfer in both direction and in the same time

Q

what is star topology?

A

every device has a dedicated point-to-point link with the hub.
no direct connection or traffic

16
Q

what are the advantages of using star topology?

A
  1. less expensive
  2. one link and one I/O port
  3. less cabling but more than the bus and ring
  4. node failure will not affect others.
  5. fault identification is easy
  6. easy to install and conifigure
17
Q

what is the disadvantage of star topology?

A

a single point-to-point failure.

18
Q

what is the bus topology?

A

multipoint: one cable acts like the backbone links all devices to the network.

19
Q

what are the advantages of using bus topology?

A
  1. less cabling
  2. easy to install
20
Q

what are the disadvantages of using bus topology?

A
  1. limitation on number of tabs and the distances between each tabs.
  2. difficult to identify the fault
  3. modification is difficult
  4. single degradation
21
Q

what are the advantages of using ring topology?

A
  1. easy to install
  2. fault isolation is easier
  3. single circulates at all times
22
Q

what are the disadvantages of using ring topology?

A
  1. break the ring discard all the network
  2. unidirectional traffic
23
Q

categories of network:

A
  1. size
  2. ownership
  3. distance it covers
  4. physical architecture.
24
Q

what is LAN?

A
  1. privately owned
  2. few kilometres.
  3. link devices in local office, and campus.
  4. use a single transmission media
  5. topology: ring, bus, star
25
Q

what is MAN?

A
  1. extended over an entire city
  2. owned by a private company
  3. service provider
26
Q

what is WAN?

A
  1. owned by the enterpriser network
27
Q

what are the types of WAN?

A
  1. switched WAN: network with more than two ends
  2. a point to point WAN: a network that connects two communication devices through a transmission media
28
Q

what is the Heterogeneous network?

A

a network which made of 4 WANs and 2 LANs

29
Q

what is circuit switching network?

A
  1. it has dedicated connection, always between two end systems
  2. the switch can only make active or inactive
30
Q

what is the packet switching network?

A
  1. the communication is done in blocks of data called packets.
  2. it uses a router to store and forward the packets.
