World of Computer Networking Your CCNA start - Bandwidth in Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

The video tutorial discusses network characteristics, focusing on bandwidth, its measurement, and its importance in network design. It explains bandwidth as the maximum data transfer rate over a connection, measured in bits per second, and details various bandwidth values like kilobits, megabits, and gigabits. The tutorial also covers how to calculate bandwidth over time and identify bottlenecks in a network, emphasizing the need to avoid them. Finally, it highlights the physical media characteristics that affect bandwidth, such as copper cables and wireless connections.

Which of the following is NOT a network characteristic discussed in the video?

• Latency

• Encryption

• Throughput

• Bandwidth

What is the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted over a specific link in a given time called?

• Bandwidth

• Throughput

• Latency

• Jitter

How many bits are in one megabit?

• 1,000,000 bits

• 100,000 bits

• 1,000 bits

• 10,000 bits

If a link has a bandwidth of 1 Gigabit per second, how much data can it transmit in one hour?

• 10,000 gigabits

• 1,000 gigabits

• 60 gigabits

• 3,600 gigabits

What determines the maximum available bandwidth between two endpoints in a network?

• The number of links in the path

• The fastest link in the path

• The slowest link in the path

• The average speed of all links

What is a bottleneck in network design?

• A link with the highest bandwidth

• A link with the lowest bandwidth

• A link with the least connections

• A link with the most connections

Why is it important to consider the physical media characteristics in network design?

• They decide the number of routers needed

• They influence the network topology

• They affect the maximum bandwidth

• They determine the color of the cables
