What is traffic sent from one computer to one other computer
Unicast
What is transmitted by one computer and goes to all computers within a sublet
Broadcast
What is one to one traffic between two computers on a network not just on a subnet
Unicast
What is traffic sent from one computer to all other computers on a subnet
Broadcast
Computers are connected within a subnet using
Hubs or switches
What does both hubs and switches do
Pass broadcast traffic

Multicast
What is one to many traffic on a network
Multicast traffic
What happens when a computer joins a multicast group
The NIC is internally configured to process traffic using multicast group’s IP address
What is the primary protocol used to transmit and process multicast traffic
IGMP
What is a group of devices on the same segment that are subject to collisions
Collision domain
What occurs when two devices on the same segment sent traffic are subject to collisions
Collisions
What is a group of devices on a network that can receive broadcast traffic from each other
Broadcast domain
What connect computers in a network
Switches
What passes broadcast traffic to all connections so it does not separate broadcast domains
Switches
What connect networks
Routers
What do not pass broadcast traffic and creates both separate collision domains and separate broadcast domains
Routers
What provide basic connectivity for devices in a network
Hubs
What can be physical or logical
Ports
What is a physical connection on a network
Physical port
