responsibilities is known as …PEER TO PEER
ARCHITECTURE…………………………………….
17. The network architecture in which each computer or process on the network is either a
client or a server is referred to as ……CLIENT/SERVER……………………….
18. ………………MULTIPLEXING…………is the technique of transmitting multiple
signals over a single medium
19. The assignment of non-overlapping frequency ranges to each “user” of a medium is
referred as ……………FREQUENCY DIVISION MULTIPLEXING……………
20. ………………ATTENUATION…………..is the lost of signal strength as it travels from
one point to the other.
