The key aspect of an intranet is what? - ANSWER Privacy
The most common network protocol - ANSWER Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
When a spreadsheet's file size is large, the network breaks the file down into
smaller, more manageable pieces, called __________ - ANSWER Packets
Checks to see that the receiving computer accepts all of the packets that make up
the spreadsheet and that the packets are in the correct order - ANSWER TCP/IP
Guarantees the reliability of the computer file received by the network's end user
- ANSWER TCP/IP
Another common network protocol is called - ANSWER User Datagram
Protocol (UDP)
Because _________ protocols simply send the entire file at once in a streaming
fashion, it is much faster than __________ - ANSWER UDP; TCP/IP
________ does not guarantee a file's reliability - ANSWER UDP
,Software that administers the hardware and software of a computer, allowing it to
work properly - ANSWER Operating System (OS)
The OS is often called a __________ - ANSWER Platform
Software that controls an entire network - ANSWER Network Operating System
(NOS)
The __________ is responsible for network traffic control, administering packets,
file management, administering certain functions like backup, and security -
ANSWER NOS
Unlike the OS, the NOS needs to know the ______ ______ - ANSWER End User
Responsible for smooth network operations, network performance and
implementation of new nodes, or even new networks - ANSWER Network

The mapping of a physical network and logical interconnections between nodes -
ANSWER Topology
Network topology where all of the nodes of the network are connected to a
common linear backbone with two endpoints - ANSWER Bus Topology
Bus topology is also known as _______ topology - ANSWER Linear
, One advantage of a ________ topology is that all nodes can receive data virtually
simultaneously - ANSWER Bus
One disadvantage of a ________ topology is that if the backbone is down, all
nodes on the backbone are down as well - ANSWER Bus
All nodes are connected to a common central node (the hub) in spoke-like fashion
creating a star shape - ANSWER Star Topology
What is the most common of all topologies? - ANSWER Star
Similar to the linear bus configuration; if the central hub in _______ topology fails,
every node attached to the hub will also fail - ANSWER Star
Each node is connected to two other computers in the network, with the first and
last computers being connected to each other - ANSWER Ring Topology
The least used topology with microcomputers - ANSWER Ring
In _______ topology, if the traffic cannot flow in one direction then it can try to
flow in the other direction - ANSWER Ring
