What to Focus On

  • Data can be text, image, audio, video, or multimedia.
  • Communication means sending or receiving data.
  • Networked devices communicate through a medium.
  • Sender sends data.
  • Receiver gets data.
  • Message is the information being exchanged.
  • Bandwidth is the range of frequencies available for data transmission.
  • Bandwidth is measured in Hz.
  • Higher bandwidth usually means higher data transfer rate.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Sender and receiver are just any devices, not network nodes.

Bandwidth and data transfer rate mean the same thing.
