Key Terms

Synchronous Transfer
Data transfer where sending and receiving occur simultaneously.

Example: Video calls use synchronous transfer for real-time communication.

Asynchronous Transfer
Data transfer where sending and receiving do not occur at the same time.

Example: Email is an example of asynchronous transfer.

Protocol
A set of rules governing data communication.

Example: HTTP is a protocol used for transferring web pages.

Bandwidth
The maximum rate of data transfer across a network.

Example: Higher bandwidth allows for faster downloads.

Latency
The delay before a transfer of data begins.

Example: Low latency is crucial for online gaming.

TCP/IP
A suite of communication protocols used to interconnect network devices.

Example: TCP/IP is the foundation of the internet.
