Ethernet is the most popular network architecture.

When full-duplex communication is used with Ethernet, CSMA/CD must also be used.

1000BaseT, released as the 802.3ab standard in June 1999, supports Gigabit Ethernet over 100-meter segments of balanced Category 5 copper cabling and requires two pairs of wires.

Ethernet supports four unique and compatible frame types.

The Ethernet 802.3 frame type contains enhancements to the 802.2 frame, including a protocol type field, which indicates the network protocol used in the frame’s data section.

By definition, broadcast technologies are one-way transmissions.

The signaling rates associated with SONET are the same as those for ATM.

In early networks based on ____, computers sent data whenever they had data to send.

____ is the access method used by Ethernet.

A form of ____ is used in wireless LANs with an access point.

When using the ____ channel access method, all computers have equal access to the media.

The ____ channel access method allows all computers equal access to the channel.

The most widely accepted Ethernet standard today is 100BaseT, which is also called ____.

____ is the standard that’s usually in mind when discussing 100 Mbps Ethernet.

____ Ethernet uses all four pairs of wires bundled in a UTP cable

____ Ethernet uses two strands of fiber-optic cable.

10BaseT Ethernet uses Category ____ or higher UTP cable.

____ defines Gigabit Ethernet over fiber-optic cable.

____ uses specially shielded, balanced, copper jumper cables.

The ____ frame type is sometimes called Ethernet raw.

The ____ frame type is generally used on the AppleTalk Phase 2 networks.

____ frames are used in TCP/IP networks.

One unique aspect of the token ring network architecture is its capability to isolate faults automatically by using a process called ____.

In FDDI, devices called ____ can serve as a central connection point for buildings or sites in a campus setting.

____ is a high-speed, baseband digital networking standard that specifies incrementally increasing data rates across fiber-optic links.

____________________ occurs on a switch only when two or more senders ask to reach the same receiver simultaneously or when the number of simultaneous transmission requests exceed the switch’s capability to handle multiple connections.

1000BaseLX uses fiber-optic media; the “L” stands for “____________________,” the kind of laser used to send signals across the medium.

The primary use of 10 Gigabit Ethernet is as the network ____________________, interconnecting servers and network segments running 100 Mbps and 1000 Mbps Ethernet technologies.

___________________________________ (FDDI) uses the token-passing channel access method and dual counter-rotating rings for redundancy.

The official standard governing cable modem operation is called __________________________________________________ (DOCSIS).

______________________________ (ATM) is a high-speed network technology designed for both LAN and WAN use.
