Ethernet

A formal standard commonly used in LANs. Two types: -IEE 802.3 = developed by the IEEE (institute of electrical and electronics engineers) -Shared Ethernet = traditional ethernet. --Ethernet is a two layer protocol, so it operates at the data link layer.

overlay network

A network (usually a WLAN) used to supplement a primary network (usually a wired LAN).

channel

A specific radio frequency used in wireless communication. --Used in WLANs so that the various APs in the Local Area (cordless phones, computers, yada yada yada) don't interfere with each other

Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD)

A system used in contention networks. The network interface unit listens for the presence of a carrier before attempting to send and detects the presence of a collision by monitoring for a distorted pulse.

directional antenna

Antenna on an AP projects a signal only in one direction

layer-2 switch

Because the switch uses the Ethernet address to decide which port to use and because Ethernet is a data link layer or layer-2 protocol, this type of switch is called a ____.

1GbE

Gigabit per second (1,000,000,000 bits per second)

frame

Group of data bits having bits at each end to indicate the beginning and end of the frame --Contain source addresses, destination addresses, frame type identifiers, and a data message.

logical topology

How the network works conceptually, similar to the data flow of a DFD or a logical ERD

physical topology

How the the network is physically installed, similar to physical DFDs and ERDs.

resource sharing

Refers to one computer sharing a hardware device (eg. printer) or software package with other computers on the network to save costs.

One approach to controlling the number of copies of a particular software package is to use LAN Metering Software.....prohibits using more copies of a package than there are installed licenses.

Power over Ethernet (POE)

Power Over Ethernet. An access point in LANs that does not need an external power supply.

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

-One wireless security technique -the AP requires the user to have a key in order to communicate with it

distributed coordination function (DCF)

-The first media access control method -also called physical carrier sense method because it relies on the ability of computers to physically listen before they transmit -each frame in CSMA/CA is sent using stop-and-wait ARQ.

point coordination function (PCF)

-The second media access control technique -(also called the virtual carrier sense method).

clear to transmit (CTS)

-message sent back from a Request to Transmit -specifying the amount of time for which the circuit is reserved for the requesting computer.

Wi-Fi

-wireless Ethernet -the commercial name for a set of stan- dards developed by the IEEE 802.11 standards group

dedicated-server LAN

A category of LANs where one or more computers are permanently assigned as network servers. --ideal for handling very large files and databases --the servers usual operating system (eg. windows) is replaced by a network operating system (eg. Linux) --different types of dedicated servers include: mail servers, datatabase servers, and web servers.

topology

The basic geometric layout of the network...the way computers on the network are interconnected. Two types: Logical Topology & Physical Topology

fragment-free switching

The switch examines the first 64 bytes (which contain all the header information for the frame) and if all the header data appears correct, the switch presumes that the rest of the frame is error free and begins transmitting.

Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA)

This protocol is similar to the Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) with Collision Detection (CD) protocol. Whereas CSMA/CD sends a data packet and then reports back if it collides with another packet, CSMA/CA sends a small preliminary packet to determine whether the network is busy. If there is a collision, it is with the small packet rather than with the entire message. CA is thought to be more efficient because it reduces the time required to recover from collisions.
