Network Qtns

A network consists of two or more nodes connected by physical links. A node is a computer connected by a link, which is a physical medium like cable or fiber. A gateway or router connects two or more networks, forwarding messages between them. A point-to-point link connects two nodes directly, while multiple access allows links to be shared between more than two nodes.

6. What is Multiple Access?

If the physical links are shared by more than two nodes, it is said to be Multiple Access.
