2.1.1 Computer networking is possible by combining all elements together. Media, so that communication is possible between two or more devices. Software, hardware, and user interface to make the communication happen within the network; signal is necessary to transmit information from one device to another. Pattern protocols permit a more standardize way to put everything together to create a networking possibility. Timing so that you can synchronize the frame of reference between all devices in the network. Without all these elements together networking cannot exist.
2.1.2
Network interface is a network-specific software that communicates with the network-specific device driver and the IP layer to provide the IP layer with a consistent interface to all network adapters that might be present. The IP layer selects the appropriate network interface based on destination address of the transmitted packed. Each network interface has a network address. Network interface layer is responsible for adding or removing any link layer protocol header required to deliver a message to its destination.
2.1.3
Internet Gateway Device, Discovery, and Control Client, RIP Listener. Simple TCP/IP services and uPnP user interface.
2.1.4
True democracy. Each PC on the network is equal to the other PC; so they can communicate with each other directly. They don’t have a centralized PC monitoring and controlling the communication network. Every PC shares files and resources with the other PCs on the network. Communication between PCs is a direct link with no central network controller, such as a server. No need for specialized equipment because access to the network is not centrally controlled.
2.1.5
Connect to the internet, connect to the workplace network, set up a home or small business network, and set up an advanced connection. I set up an
