Introduction
To Data Transmission
Introduction
Routable protocols enable the transmission of
data between computers in different segments of
a network. However, high volumes of certain
kinds of network traffic can affect network
efficiency because they slow down transmission
speed. The amount of network traffic generated
varies with the 3 types of data transmissions:
We are going to have a look at each one of these
data transmissions because it's very important to
know the type of traffic they generate, what they
are used for and why they exist on the network.
Before we proceed, please note that understanding
the OSI Model (especially Layer 2 and 3), Ethernet
and the way a packet is structured is fundamental to
understanding a broadcast, multicast or unicast.
