1Data transmission — Data transmission, digital transmission, or digital communications is the physical transfer of data (a digital bit stream) over a point to point or point to multipoint communication channel. Examples of such channels are copper wires, optical… …
2Public data transmission service — In telecommunication, a public data transmission service is a data transmission service that is established and operated by a telecommunication administration, or a recognized private operating agency, and uses a public data network. Note: A… …
3Piggybacking (data transmission) — Piggybacking is a bi directional data transmission technique in the network layer (OSI model). It makes the most of the sent data frames from receiver to emitter, adding the confirmation that the data frame sent by the sender was received… …
4Packet switching — is a digital networking communications method that groups all transmitted data – regardless of content, type, or structure – into suitably sized blocks, called packets. Packet switching features delivery of variable bit rate data streams… …
5Packet radio — is a form of digital data transmission used to link computers. The most common use of PKT is in amateur radio, to construct wireless computer networks. Its name is a reference to the use of packet switching between network nodes, which allows… …
6Network coding — is a technique where, instead of simply relaying the packets of information they receive, the nodes of a network will take several packets and combine them together for transmission. This can be used to attain the maximum possible information… …
7Network architecture — is the design of a communications network. It is a framework for the specification of a network s physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in… …
8Network packet — In computer networking, a packet is a formatted unit of data carried by a packet mode computer network. Computer communications links that do not support packets, such as traditional point to point telecommunications links, simply transmit data… …
9Packet switched network — A Packet Switched Network, or PSN, refers to the packet switched networks that existed before the Internet. The history of such networks can be divided into three eras:early networks before the introduction of X.25 and OSI,the X.25 era when many… …
10Packet (information technology) — In information technology, a packet is a formatted unit of data carried by a packet mode computer network. Computer communications links that do not support packets, such as traditional point to point telecommunications links, simply transmit… …
