What is a communications channel?
communications system
Bandwidth is amount of data that can travel
over channel
Transmission media
are materials capable of
carrying one or more
signals
Trang 41Step 1 The sending device
requests information using either
a physical transmission media
or a wireless transmission media.
Step 2. When the request leaves the ISP, it travels over T1 lines, microwave stations, earth-based stations, and communications satellites until it reaches the Internet backbone.
Step 3 The request travels over
T3 lines along the Internet backbone.
Step 4. The Request travels over T1 lines until it reaches the destination network server.
