The most fundamental element of computer networking is:

  1. Compression
  2. Bandwidth
  3. Hard drive capacity
  4. Its local area network (LAN)

2. Bandwidth is typically measured in:

  1. Watts
  2. Kilowatts
  3. Bits
  4. Milliamps

3. Bandwidth can also be measured in:

  1. End of line resistors (EOLRs)
  2. Microamps
  3. Ohms
  4. Bytes

4. Megabits are quantified in how many bits?

6. The most common asymmetric bandwidth wide area networks (WANs) are:

  1. DSL, cable modem and satellite
  2. POTS, fiber optics and Z-Wave
  3. DDSL, multiplex and computer binary output
  4. Amplifier, mesh and PTMP

7. In LANs, the three most common network bandwidth capacities are:

  1. 100kbps; 1,000Mbps (1Gig); 10,000Mbps (10Gig)
  2. 100Mbps; 1,000Mbps (1Gig); 10,000Mbps (10Gig)
  3. 100Mbps; 2,000Mbps (2Gig); 10,000Mbps (10Gig)
  4. 200kbps; 1,000Mbps (2Gig); 100,000Mbps (10Gig)

8. Using current technology, IP addresses are associated with:

  1. Asymmetric bandwidth
  2. Static and dynamic addressing
  3. Subnet masking
  4. Symmetric bandwidth

9. CCTV surveillance security systems are typically and manually assigned:

  1. GSM and HSPA addresses
  2. Static addresses
  3. Subnet masking
  4. HSPA and GPRS addresses
