Network Performance Reading

What is the primary measure of network performance?

• Response time

• Bandwidth

• Latency

• Transmission errors

Which transmission medium offers the highest bandwidth according to the passage?

• Twisted copper wire

• Fibre-optic cable

• Wi-Fi (home networks)

• Business Wi-Fi

How does the number of devices on a network affect bandwidth allocation?

• Increases bandwidth per device

• Decreases bandwidth per device

• Has no effect on bandwidth

• Doubles bandwidth per device

What type of network traffic requires more bandwidth?

• Low definition video streaming

• High definition video streaming

• Text messaging

• Email

What is network latency?

• The speed of data transfer

• The measure of transmission errors

• The time it takes for a message to travel across a network

• The number of devices on a network

What happens when two devices try to communicate simultaneously on the same channel?

• The transmission is successful

• The signals collide and transmission fails

• The bandwidth increases

• The latency decreases
