1-The biggest factor in Networking Technologies over the past 20 years has been innovation. 2-The fundamental purpose of a communications system is the exchange of information between two parties. 3-Metcalfe's Law states that the power/value of a network increases in proportion to the square of the number of nodes on the network. 4-Fiber optic technology gives higher data rates. 5-The least expensive and most widely used guided transmission medium is twisted pair. 6-The light source for optical fiber is supplied by a laser. 7-The telephone network is the principal application of circuit switching. 8-A secure, encrypted tunnel established between two connections over an unsecure network is known as a VPN (Virtual Private Network). 9-The two techniques used in circuit switching are called time division multiplexing and space division multiplexing. 10-VoIP is the transmission of speech across IP-based network. VoIP works by encoding voice information into a digital format, which can be carried across IP networks in discrete packets. VoIP has two main advantages over traditional telephony. Describe these two advantages.
