  1. 1

    A central network device used in the star topology to join networks.

  2. 2

    A router that joins networks within the same building or between buildings in close proximity such as on the same business campus.

  3. 3

    A value calculated by routers that reflects information about a particular transmission path, such as path length, load at the next hop, available bandwidth, and path reliability.

  4. 4

    A modulator/demodulator that converts a computer’s outgoing digital signal to an analog signal that can be transmitted over a telephone line.

  5. 5

    A routing protocol used by a router to communicate to other routers information about its immediate links to other nodes.

  6. 6

    A network transmission device that connects nodes in a star topology, performing no signal amplification as the data signal moves from one node to the next through the hub.

  7. 7

    A term used to describe a short, connectorized cable that can serve several different purposes in different contexts, such as linking together two MAUs or connecting a network device.

  8. 8

    A network transmission device that amplifies and retimes a packet- or cellcarrying signal so that it can be sent along all outgoing cable segments attached to that repeater.

  9. 9

    A network device that connects networks having the same or different access methods and media, such as Ethernet to token ring.

  10. 10

    A protocol routers use to communicate the entire contents of routing tables to other routers.

  11. 11

    One cable run within the IEEE specifications, such as one run of 10Base2 cable that is 185 meters (610.5 feet) long and that has 30 nodes or fewer.

  12. 12

    Software that ensures that frames are not transmitted in an endless loop and that enables frames to be sent along the most cost-effective network path.

  13. 13

    A routing process that involves control of routing decisions by the network administrator through preset routing instructions.

  14. 14

    A device that links network segments and that forwards and filters frames between segments.

  15. 15

    Communications of continuous bursts of data controlled by a clock signal that starts each burst.

  16. 16

    A standard for connecting all kinds of peripherals, such as printers, modems, and tape drives, that is intended to replace the use of traditional parallel and serial ports.

  17. 17

    A hub that connects two or more computers into a workgroup on a network and that may be connected to another network device, such as a switch or router.
