Q

Start with an RG-6 or RG-59 cable coming into your house. The cable connects to a cable modem that then connects to a small home router or your NIC via Ethernet

A

Cable Internet connections

26
Q

Fiber connection runs from the provider to a box somewhere in your neighborhood. This box connects to your home or office using normal coaxial or Ethernet cabling. It runs from the provider straight to a home or office, using fiber the whole way. Once inside your home/office, you can use any standard cabling/wireless to connect your computers to the Internet

A

Fiber-to-the-Node (FTTN)

27
Q

38
Q

A delay created from the distance the signal must travel to the satellite

A

Satellite Latency

39
Q

A means of translating a system’s IP address into another IP address before sending it out to a larger network. It manifests itself by a program that runs on a system or a router. A network using it provides the system on the network with private IP addresses. The system running the software has two interfaces - one connected to the network and the other connected to the larger network

A

Network Address Translation (NAT)

40
Q

The program takes packets from the client systems bound for the larger network and translates their internal private IP addresses to its own public IP address, enabling many systems to share a single IP address
