Question and Answer: Networking
1. What network topology has the inherent weakness of a single point of failure
The Star physical network
2. Define "networking standard"
The details of what a networking topology does and how it does it
3. "De facto standards"
No particular standards, they are established as a matter of practice

43
6. A single hexadecimal digit is equivalent to ______ binary digits

11. What is designed to specifically manage computer peripheral devices
Device driver
12. Why is the TCP/IP model divided into layers
To make it easier to understand how networks work, write protocols for networks, and to create standards for networks
13. Why is the TCP/IP considered an "open" network model
It is not owned by any specific organization and shares details of how it works with all
14. The function of a Routers in networking is to
Move data between separate LAN's, often by linking them to WAN lines in a network
