In a blank network data collisions can occur fairly easily because the network is essentially composed of a single cable
Bus
Which is NOT a factor to consider when selecting network cabling
Cable diameter
A blank network can contain servers as well as individual computers
Client/server
Blank is the standard communications protocol used on most clients/server networks
Ethernet
A bridge sends information between two networks.
F
Data flows in both directions in a ring network
F
In a client/server network, each network node communicates directly with every other node on the network.
F
Worms often try to disguise from where they are sending data by using a bogus IP address instead of using an authorized IP address belonging to the network
F
The physical address assigned to each network adapter is called it's blank address
