Definition
| A ____ diagram is a diagrammatic representation of the locations of all network devices and endpoints, and depicts their connections with one another. A network diagram illustrates the physical relationship between nodes, but not necessarily their exact location in a building or a floor. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Network ____ or wiring diagram is a combination of a floor plan and a physical network topology diagram. It shows the nodes and network wiring superimposed on a floor plan of the facility with the actual equipment and cables depicted on the schematic in their real-world locations. |

| ____ is a set of parameters that controls the quality provided to different types of network traffic. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Network ____ is the average number of bits of data that can be transmitted from a source to a destination over the network in one second. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| ____ is the time difference between transmission of a signal and when it was received. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| ____ is the variability over time in latency between sequentially transmitted data packets. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| ____, also known as bandwidth shaping is a mechanism in QoS for introducing some amount of delay in traffic that exceeds an administratively defined rate. Traffic shaping smooths down traffic bursts that occur when the transmitter sends packets at a rate higher than the capacity of the receiver. |
|
|
Term
