Parent topics
- Computer network [r]: A collection of computers or digital devices ("nodes") connected by communication links. [e]
Subtopics
- Computer networking media sharing protocols [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Data link protocol [r]: Protocol and administrative convention to manage the interaction of two or more devices connected to a common physical medium [e]
- Ethernet [r]: An early proprietary standard for local area networks developed by IEEE Project 802; the term has become generic for various connectors and communications techniques although the name of a standard would be more precise. [e]
- IEEE 1394 [r]: Also called FireWire, a standard interface between computers and peripherals [e]
- IEEE 802 address [r]: In computer networking, an address that can be made unique for individual network interface cards or other physical medium interfaces [e]
- IEEE 802.3 [r]: The primary standards body for evolved ethernet over physical media protocols. [e]
- IEEE Project 802 [r]: The main standards body, with many working groups, that specifies technical standards for wired and wireless local area networks, with ranges up to tens of kilometers [e]
- MIL-STD-1553 [r]: An extensively used interconnection standard among military electronics components, slow in comparison with local area networks but intended for simple command-response control in electrically noisy environments [e]
- Medium access control [r]: The set of protocols and administrative conventions that let multiple computers or communications devices share a common network medium, usually referring to a local area network medium, but also an area of radio communications on a given part of the electromagnetic spectrum [e]
- Wireless local area network [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Request for Comments [r]: A Request for Comments (RFC) is one of a series of documents about the Internet, mostly technical, but some about policy issues; some become de facto Internet standards, which set the engineering specifications for the internals of the Internet, while many others languish largely or completely ignored. [e]
- Great Recession [r]: The disruption of economic activity that began with a downturn in 2007 and generated international repercussions that continued through 2012 and into 2013. [e]
- Network topology [r]: Defines the method in which a computer network is architected; topologies can be either physical (meaning how the actual hardware is interconnected) or logical (meaning how that network is implemented by protocols in software) [e]
