Node​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. WAP is a system which allows devices such as mobile phones to connect to the internet. WAP is an abbreviation for 'Wireless Application Protocol'.

2. A star topology is a topology for a Local Area Network (LAN) in which all nodes are individually connected to a central connection point, like a hub or a switch. A star takes more cable than e.g. a bus, but the benefit is that if a cable fails, only one node will be brought down.

3. A server is a computer or system that provides resources, data, services, or programs to other computers, known as clients, over a network. In theory, whenever computers share resources with client machines they are considered servers.

4. A node is a device or data point in a larger network. ... In networking a node is either a connection point, a redistribution point, or a communication endpoint. In computer science, nodes are devices or data points on a large network, devices such a PC, phone, or printer are considers nodes.
