1. Write four features of Satellite link?

A. Satellites cover large area of earth.
B. Since communication over very long distances is possible, this becomes a commercially
attractive option.
C. This system is expensive.
D. Requires legal permissions.
2. D/f b/w Hub and Switch.

signal to port to respond where the terminating based on need.

3. What is NIC?
Any computer which has to be a part of a computer network must have an NIC (Network
Interface Card / Unit) installed in it. A computer communicates with other computers on a
network with the help of an NIC only. An NIC (Network Interface Card) is a device that enables a
computer to connect to a network and communicate.
4. Define RJ-45 port.

RJ45 is a type of connector commonly used for Ethernet networking. It looks similar to a
telephone jack, but is slightly wider. Since Ethernet cables have an RJ45 connector on each
end, Ethernet cables are sometimes also called RJ45 cables
5. Why repeaters are required?

When the data is transmitted over a network for long distances, the data signal gets weak after
certain distance. This distance depends on the data transfer range of transmission channel being
used and can be from a few meters to a few kilometers. If the signal becomes weak, it cannot
reach its destination. A Repeater is a device that is used to regenerate a signal which is on its way
through a communication channel. A repeater regenerates the received signal and re-transmits it
to its destination.
6. What is the need of Gateways?
A gateway is a node (router) in a computer network, a key stopping point for data on its way to
or from other networks. Due to gateways, we are able to communicate and send data back and
forth. The Internet wouldn't be any use to us without gateways (as well as a lot of other
hardware and software).
A gateway is a hardware device that acts as a "gate" between two networks. It may be a router,
firewall, server, or other device that enables traffic to flow in and out of the network. While
a gateway protects the nodes within network, it also a node itself.
7. What do you mean by a topology?

A Topology is an arrangement of physical connections among nodes in a network
8. Define a node.
A Node is a device, which is directly connected to a computer network. It can be a computer or
any other device like printer, scanner etc.
9. D/f b/w BUS & STAR topology.

11. What do you mean by Network Protocol?

A network protocol is a set of rules for communication among networked devices. Protocols
generally includes rules of how and when a device can send or receive the data, how is the sent
data packaged, and how it reaches its destination.
12. D/f b/w HTTP & TCP/IP.

TCP/IP is for getting bits of data from one place to another. It's only concerned with connecting
computers to each other and moving the data, not about what kind of data it is. So when you are
using the web, it makes sure that the data bits coming from the server get to your machine, without
errors, and in the order they were sent. It is called a "transport protocol". Think of it like a post
office delivery truck.
HTTP is a kind of data packaging used by your browser, and web servers. It's not involved with
delivery, just with what you have after the delivery arrives. Because it pertains to your application
(program) it is called an "application protocol". Think of it as the envelope or the parcel.
13. Define PPP.

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is a data link protocol commonly used in establishing a direct
connection between two network entities or points (points here referred to as nodes, computers,
hosts etc). PPP is a protocol most widely used by Internet service providers (ISPs) to enable dial up
connections to the Internet.
14. Define packet Switching.
Packet switching is a method of transferring the data to a network in form of packets. In order to
transfer the file fast and efficient manner over the network and minimize the transmission latency,
the data is broken into small pieces of variable length, called Packet. These are typically routed
from the source to the destination using network switches and routers, then the data is
reassembled at the destination.
