Chapter 3 Summary Questions
1. How does a multipoint circuit differ from a point-to-point circuit? A multipoint circuit differs from a point-to-point circuit in that it is many computers connected on the same circuit while the point-to-point goes from one computer to another. P2P can also be more expensive if the computers connected are far apart.
3. Describe three types of guided media. Three types of guided media are fiber-optic cable which uses high-speed streams of light pulses from lasers or LEDS, coaxial cable copper-core with a cylindrical shell for insulation, and twisted-pair wire insulated pairs of wires that can be packed closely together.
6. Clearly explain the differences among analog data, analog
