Cards

Term
circuit switching networks
Definition
a single path from one endpoint to another is built when a connection is terminated the communication stops
Term
( PVC ) Perminte virtual circuit
Definition
leases lines they connect endpoints they are always on
Term
( SVC ) Switched virtual circuits
Definition
temporary connection to an end to multiple ends as needed
Term
Packet switching networks
Definition
moves data through the network packet by packet. Packet takes the best route available at any given time rather that following an established connection
Term
cell switching networking
Definition
are very similar to packet switching networks divide in fixed length it is very predictable due to it's fixed size
Term
cell switching networking
Definition
are very similar to packet switching networks divide in fixed length it is very predictable due to it's fixed size
Term
cable Internet access
Definition
uses a television cable connection and a specialized interface device known as a cable modem to provide high speed access to Internet
Term
DSL
Definition
is a group of technology that transmit digital signals over phone lines connect to a DSLAM
Term
HDSL
Definition
1.544 to 2.048 Mbps distance limit of 12,000 ft
Term
ADSL
Definition
1.544 to 6.1 MBPS up stream and 16 to 640 down stream distance limit of 18,000 ft
Term
SDSL
Definition
1.544 Mbps both up and down
Term
VDSL
Definition
12.9 to 52.9 down legenths of up to 4,500
Term
dedicated / lease line
Definition
provides a dedicated connection between two end points that a companies use to provide a high quality connection between locations
Term
( ISDN ) Integrated services digital network
Definition
is a digitally switched technology that carries both voice and data over phone lines
Term
ISDN BRI
Definition
Basic rate interface
Bearer Channels carry data 64 kbps
Delta control info
connection establishment and break down
Term
ISDN PRI
Definition
23B + D 1.544 Mbps
both D + B = 64 k
Term
Dail-up lines
Definition
local loop PSTN connections that use modems existing phone lines and existing long distance carriers services to provide low-cost low bandwidth WAN connectivity
Term
Frame Relay
Definition
Packet switching layer two replaced x.25
Term
x.25
Definition
frame relay's predecessor had reliable delivery but had more network over head
Term
DTE
Definition
end devices used on a frame relay or a x.25 network often a router
Term
DCE
Definition
CSU / DSU
Term
ATM
Definition
Asynchronous Transfer Mode versatile cell switched network designed for employment in LANs, WANs, and telephone networks and have high bandwidth 53 byte cell bandwidth 155 Mbps - 2.488 Gbps can carry data and voice and video simultaneously uses QoS supports Svc and Pvc
Term
MPLS
Definition
WAN technology for both circuit and packet switching starts to replace ATM and Frame relay can carry all types of traffic
Term
T carriers
Definition
originally used to run over the PSTN carries multi plexed divides multiple channeler in to one cable t1 = 24 channels at 64 kbps for a total of 1.544 Mbps uses DS or DSH channels
Term
SONET
Definition
synchronous data transport over fiber cable excellent bandwidth built in fault recovery 2.48 Gbps OC STS specifications self healing dual fiber ring
Term
OC ( Optical Carrier )
Definition
is a channelized techonology based on the same 64 Kbps channel as DSH but with a base of rate of 810 channels
OC1 = 51.84 MBPS
OC3 = 155 MBPS
OC48 = 2.4 GBPS
OC192 = 9.95 GBPS
Term
WIMAX
Definition
802.16 operates at between 2 nd 11 GHz
Term
Mux / multiplexer
Definition
combined multiple data signals in the most effective way possible providing the most effective connection possible
Term
ICS ( Internet connection sharing )
Definition
conductivity technique for computer system that connects multiple computers to the Internet by using a signal Internet connection
Term
Voice over data systems
Definition
transmit analog signals over over digital network technology
Term
( VOIP ) voice over IP
Definition
is a voice over data implementation where voice calls are sent over IP networks
Term
SIP ( Secession Initiation Protocol )
Definition
responsible for the signal portion of a communication secession
Term
RTP ( Real- time Transport Protocol )
Definition
The protocol used for transmitting VOIP data and the control
Term
RTCP ( real- time Transport Control )
Definition
works with RTP to control data transport but does not actually transport any data
