Question
The six network components
Answer
Client, server, modem, router, switch, hub.
Question
Switch vs router
Answer
A switch connects devices within one network. A router passes traffic between networks and chooses the path.
Question
Switch vs hub
Answer
A switch sends each message only to its destination. A hub sends everything to everyone — slower and less private.
Question
Client and server
Answer
Roles, not machine types. Whatever asks is a client; whatever answers is a server.
