Bus Network Topology
Handles the routing of packets as they move around the network. It maps to Layer 3 of the
OSI model.
A shared network transmission medium allowing only one device to communicate at a
single time
A star-wired connection aggregation point, typically from a wiring closet
A shared ring connecting multiple devices together
,Definition 4 of 56
an internationally accepted framework of standards that governs how separate computer systems
communicate using networks
International Organization For standardization (iso) Model
Internet protocol (ip)

Directory service
Term 5 of 56
point-to-point network
A direct link or connection between two devices
networks that transmit packets as individual messages
a network that creates a path between the source and destination devices
a network that consists only of computers and devices that are connected directly

TCP/IP Transport or Host-to-Host Layer 3
This is responsible for breaking data into packets and properly transmitting them over the
network. Flow control and error checking take place here. TCP operates in this layer
The top of the TCP/IP Reference Model, which maps to OSI Layers 5, 6, and 7. This interacts
with applications that need to gain access to network services.
Provides end-to-end delivery, which maps to OSI Layer 4. This layer segments the data and
adds a checksum to properly validate data to ensure that it has not been corrupted.
This is responsible for the coding of data. This Layer includes file formats and character
representations. From a security perspective, encryption generally takes place at this layer.

Ring Network Topology
A star-wired connection aggregation point, typically from a wiring closet
A shared ring connecting multiple devices together
A map of a network and how devices are connected to it
The process of connecting multiple computer networks
