Computer networking
WEEK 10:
1. Mesh network topology
➢ Devices are connected with many
redundant interconnections
between network nodes.
2. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
➢ is an application layer protocol
that is used to transmit electronic
mail.
3. Half duplex transmission mode
➢ the sender and receiver can both
send and receive the information,
but only one is allowed to send it
at any given time.
4. Transmission control protocol (TCP)
➢ is responsible for routing
application protocols to the correct
application on the destination
computer.
5. The Internet Backbone
➢ is made up of many large networks
which interconnect with each
other.
6. Transmission
➢ is actually the process of sending
and propagating analog or signal
digital information.
7. Distributed system
➢ consists of a collection of
autonomous computers linked by
a computer network and equipped
with distributed system software.
8. Full-duplex transmission mode
➢ is like a two-way road, in which
traffic can flow in both directions
at the same time.
9.
➢ is the practice of interfacing two or
more computing devices with each
other for the purpose of sharing
data.
10. Star Network Devices
➢ are connected to a central
computer, called a hub.
11. Simplex transmission mode
➢ the sender can only send the data,
and the receiver can only receive
the data.
WEEK 11:
1. Neural network
➢ a computer program that operates
in a manner inspired by the
natural neural network in the
brain.
2. The internet of things or IoT
➢ are a system of interrelated
computing devices, mechanical
and digital machines, objects,
animals, or people that are
provided with unique identifiers
(UIDs)
3. Natural Language Processing (NLP)
➢ refers to the AI method of
communicating with an intelligent
system using a natural language
such as English.
4. Robotic process automation (RPA)
➢ is the technology that allows
anyone today to configure
computer software.
5. Artificial intelligence (AI)
➢ is a wide-ranging branch of
computer science concerned with
building smart machines capable
of performing tasks that typically
require human intelligence
