Sometimes, we can be tricked. Examine on integrity and reputation of the web stores
before you decide to buy.
2. Scalability of System
A company definitely needs a well developed website to support numbers of
customers at a time. If your web destination is not well enough, you better forget it.
3. Integrity on Data and System
Customers need secure access all the time. In addition to it, protection to data is also
essential. Unless the transaction can provide it, we should refuse for e-commerce.
4. Products People
People who prefer and focus on product will not buy online. They will want to feel,
try, and sit on their new couch and bed.
5. Customer Service and Relation Problem
They sometimes forget how essential to build loyal relationship with customers.

Metropolitan area network (MAN) is a network that interconnects

users with computer resources in a geographic area or region larger than
that covered by even a large local area network (LAN) but smaller than the
area covered by a wide area network (WAN). The term is applied to the
interconnection of networks in a city into a single larger network (which may
then also offer efficient connection to a wide area network). It is also used to
mean the interconnection of several local area networks by bridging them
with backbone lines. The latter usage is also sometimes referred to as a
campus network.

16. Define Extranet.

An extranet is a private network that uses Internet technology and the

public telecommunication system to securely share part of a business's

and optical fibres. Unguided transmission media are methods that allow the transmission
of data without the use of physical means to define the path it takes.
18. Define Hybrid Network.

Hybrid topology. A hybrid topology is a type of network topology

that uses two or more other network topologies, including bus topology,
mesh topology, ring topology, star topology, and tree topology.

19. Explain Router.

A router is a device that forwards data packets along networks. A

router is connected to at least two networks, commonly
two LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISP's network. Routers are located
at gateways, the places where two or more networks connect.

20. Explain Proxy Server.

A proxy server is a computer that offers a computer network service to

allow clients to make indirect network connections to other network
services. A client connects to the proxy server, and then requests a
connection, file, or other resource available on a different server.

21. What is Payment Gateway?

The payment gateway is the infrastructure that allows a merchant to accept

credit card and other forms of electronic payment. When referring
to payment gateways used for Internet transactions, it may also be called an
IP payment gateway.

22. What is Hub?

A common connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are

commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports.
When a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all
segments of the LAN can see all packets.

23. What is Switch?

A switch, in the context of networking is a high-speed device that

receives incoming data packets and redirects them to their destination on a
local area network (LAN). A LAN switch operates at the data link layer (Layer

5
Prepared By: - Mr.Ishaan Tamhankar
 2) or the network layer of the OSI Model and, as such it can support all types
of packet protocols.

24. What is Bridge?

A device that connects two local-area networks (LANs), or two segments of

the same LAN that use the same protocol, such as Ethernet or Token-Ring.

25. What is Repeater?

A repeater is a network device that retransmits a received signal with more

power and to an extended geographical or topological network boundary
than what would be capable with the original signal.

A repeater is implemented in computer networks to expand the coverage

area of the network, repropagate a weak or broken signal and or service
remote nodes. Repeaters amplify the received/input signal to a higher
frequency domain so that it is reusable, scalable and available.

Repeaters were introduced in wired data communication networks due to

the limitation of a signal in propagating over a longer distance and now are a
common installation in wireless networks for expanding cell size.
Repeaters are also known as signal boosters.

26. What is EDI?

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the computer-to-computer exchange of
business documents in a standard electronic format between business partners.
By moving from a paper-based exchange of business document to one that is electronic,

30. What is File Uploading & Downloading?
Uploading is the transmission of a file from one computer system to another, usually
larger computer system. From a network user's point-of-view, to upload a file is to send it
to another computer that is set up to receive it. People who share images with others on
bulletin board services ( BBS ) upload files to the BBS.
Uploading means upload Copy of Your Documents from Local Computer to Remote
Computer.

Transmission in the other direction is downloading -- from one, usually larger computer to
another, usually smaller computer. From an Internet user's point-of-view, downloading is
receiving a file from another computer.
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is the Internet facility for downloading and uploading
files. (If you are uploading a file to another site, you must usually have permission in
advance to access the site and the directory where the file is to be placed.)
When you send or receive an attached file with an e-mail note, this is just an attachment,
not a download or an upload. However, in practice, many people use "upload" to mean
"send" and "download" to mean receive. The term is used loosely in practice and if
someone says to you "Download (or upload) such--and-such a file to me" via e-mail, they
simply mean "Send it to me."
Downloading means Download Copy of Document from Remote Computer to Local
Computer.
In short, from the ordinary workstation or small computer user's point-of-view, to upload
is to send a file and to download is to receive a file.

31. Explain B2G transaction.

Business-to-government (B2G) is a business model that refers to businesses selling

encompass public sector organizations that propose the bids. B2G activities are
increasingly being conducted via the Internet through real-time bidding.
B2G is also referred to as public sector marketing.

38 Define. E-Wallet
E-wallet is a type of electronic card which is used for transactions made
online through a computer or a Smartphone. Its utility is same as a credit or debit card. An
E-wallet needs to be linked with the individual’s bank account to make payments.
39. Define Repeater
In digital communication systems, a repeater is a device that receives a digital signal
on an electromagnetic or optical transmission medium and regenerates the signal along the
next leg of the medium. In electromagnetic media, repeaters overcome the attenuation
caused by free-space electromagnetic-field divergence or cable loss. A series of repeaters
make possible the extension of a signal over a distance.
40.What is Paypal.
PayPal is an electronic commerce (e-commerce) company that facilitates payments
between parties through online funds transfers. PayPal allows customers to establish an

41. Difference between Web and Internet

The Internet is a global network of networks while the Web, also referred formally as
World Wide Web (www) is collection of information which is accessed via the Internet.
Another way to look at this difference is; the Internet is infrastructure while the Web is
service on top of that infrastructure. Alternatively, the Internet can be viewed as a big
book-store while the Web can be viewed as collection of books on that store. At a high level,
we can even think of the Internet as hardware and the Web as software.

United Nations/Electronic Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce and Transport

is the international standard that was developed by the United Nations. The work of
maintenance and further development of this standard is done through the United Nations
Center for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT) under the UN
Economic Commission for Europe.

42. What is E-Wallet?

E-wallet is a type of electronic card which is used for transactions made online through a
