10 Base T, 802.11

Preamble

8 bytes (or 64 bits) long, and can itself be split into two sections

Hexadecimal

A base-16 number system that uses sixteen distinct symbols 0-9 and A-F to represent numbers from 0 to 15.

protocol

A set of rules governing the exchange or transmission of data between devices.

cross talk

A type of interference caused by signals traveling on nearby wire pairs infringing on another pair's signal.

Application

What is the Protocol data unit for the physical layer

Bits

What will allow you to form point-to-point networking connections?

EtherType field

What is the Protocol for the data link layer?

Ethernet and Wi-Fi

broadcast

Ethernet broadcast is sent to every single device on a LAN

What is the protocol for the transport layer?

TCP/UDP

Duplex Communication

The concept that information can flow in both directions across the cable.

any single set of binary data being sent across a network link

Copper Cable

cable that transmits signals using electricity

Which layer abstracts away the need for any other layers to care about what hardware is in use?

data link

what is the data link layer?

defining a common way of interpreting these signals. Ethernet; wireless technologies
