brain fart. 802.11b, Ethernet, etc is a type of: ___

[hevnsnt]

arrgh brain fart. What would 802.11b, Ethernet, blah blah be classified as? Network Topology?

 

[MercenaryForHire]

It would be classified as a type of Do Your Own Damn Homework.

- M4H

If only colleges could teach incoming freshmen how to type "http://www.google.com".

 

[Dufman]

its a wireless topology

 

[MichaelD]

It's a "wireless protocol."

 

[WarSong]

Ethernet is a networking protocol and 802.11b is an IEEE standard.

 

[hevnsnt]

no no.. you got it all are wrong.. I am working on my resume.. and I am not after wireless protocol, I am after what is the word for different kind of networks...

I knew that...I just said it wrong...that's all. *stomps foot*

 

[hevnsnt]

like what would you call this list:

10BaseT Ethernet
100BaseT Fast Ethernet
802.11B Wireless Networks
ISDN
T1

for example

"Large amount of hands-on experience with a plethora of networking topologies."

game over the word "plethora" made its first entrance..

Ok, it is not topology, this is topology

Seriously, does anyone know? There has to be some high-level descriptive word. I am trying to describe all the different ways I have hooked computers up to other computers..

 

[BunLengthHotDog]

Are you looking for Ethernet "specifications" or "standards"

These are Layer 1 specifications or standards

 

[hevnsnt]

yeah but 802.11B Wireless Networks, ISDN, T1 are not.. I am just trying to put together a list of technolgies that I have experience with

 

[Krugger]

they're types of networks... i don't know a big word for 'types'
various network interfaces... something something.
built networks with a variety of connection options/methods...
I think they all classify as interfaces, that's a good word, no?

[BunLengthHotDog]

Are not what?

 

[notfred]

"I plug the computers together with the thingy that I can't remember what it's called".

Ethernet "specifications" or "standards"

"I plug the computers together with the thingy that I can't remember what it's called".

lol.. That is what I had on there originally, but I never got any call backs.. Thanks for the well thought out post.

 

[BunLengthHotDog]

No, look at my second line, they are "LAYER 1 specifications / standards" or "physical specifications / standards" .... and 802.11b is most certainly an Ethernet standard.

 

[hevnsnt]

k.. point taken

You are looking for one term to describe three different things. 10 and 100Base-T are physical media specifications in the IEEE 802.3 (ethernet) standard. 802.11B is a IEEE standard for wireless LANs. ISDN and T1 are digital voice/data lines. I do understand what you are trying to say though. I think notfred said it best

 

[hevnsnt]

notfred I was only kidding..

WarSong: I know they are different, but as I have stated before, ah nevermind
