TERMS
NETWORK
Internet
• Global system of interconnected computer
networks that use the standard Internet
Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of

connects network segments.
• “Network Bridge”
• Switches: operate at many OSI( Open
Systems Interconnection: way of dividing
a communication system into smaller
parts) layers: physical, data
link, network or transport.
(multilayer switch)
Hubs
• A device for connecting multiple twisted
pair or fiber optic devices together and
making them act as a single network
segment.
• Works at layer 1(basic hardware
transmission technologies of a network)
of OSI model.
