P2P Network Software - ✔️✔️nodes that support P2P networks (Windows, Linux, & OS X) where
they all communicate with each other
Packets - ✔️✔️data that is sent in bundles through a network; for computers to communicate, they
must flow between the network and the nodes
Router - ✔️✔️device that transfers packets of data between 2+ networks (i.e. in a home network,
your router connects your home network to the Internet)
Switch - ✔️✔️device that transmitts data on a network; makes decisions based on media access
control of the data to where the data should be sent. Works as a traffic signal on a network
Home Area Network (HAN) - ✔️✔️P2P network that is a specific type of LAN (HAN) that is

Mobile Broadband - ✔️✔️Connects to the Internet using the same cellular network that a cell
phone uses to get 3G/4G
Twisted-pair Cable - ✔️✔️Cables made of copper wires that are twisted around each other are
surrounded by a plastic jacket (i.e. a traditional home wire)
Unsheilded twisted-pair (UTP) Cable - ✔️✔️Most popular transmission media option for Ethernet
networks; composed of four pairs of wires that are twisted around each other to reduce electrical
interference
Types of UTP Cables - ✔️✔️Cat 5E (slow): cheapest; designed for 100Mbps-wired Ethernet
networks previous to gigabit Ethernet; basically outdated
Cat 6 (medium): more than 1GB/s of throughput; designed to achieve data transfer rates that
