1.3 Computer networks, connections and protocols - Coggle Diagram

- - - - printers
      - connections to other networks
- - - - signal quality of wireless connections is dependant on the range of devices from the wireless access point and other environmental factors
      - the signal quality of copper cables is determined by the grade of material
- - - - this is known as hosting
- - - - preamble of bits used to synchronise transmission
      - start frame deliminator to signify the start of the data part of the frame
      - source and destination MAC address
      - the actual data
      - error checking information
  - - - a standard for wireless networks
      - easier to set up
      - less expensive
      - convenient to use
      - can handle large numbers of users
      - speeds are slower than wired networks
      - relies on signal strength to the WAP
      - signal can be obstructed
      - less secure than wired networks
    - - more modern standard for wireless networking
      - it is ideal for connecting personal devices
      - has a very short range (10 metres)
      - it has a very lower power consumption compared to Wi-Fi
- - - - example: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334
      - each group made up of four hex values representing 16-bits
      - written as eight groups seperates by colons
      - 128-bits in size
    - - example: 69.89.31.212
      - written as four numbers (in the range 0-255) separated by full stops
      - 32-bits in size
