In LANs, a station consists of a device that can communicate
data on the network. In FDDI, a station includes both physical
nodes and addressable logical devices. Workstations, single‐
attach stations, dual‐attach stations, and concentrators are
FDDI stations.

Department of Defense to connect different computer types
and led to the development of the Internet.
A transceiver joins two network segments together.
Transceivers can also be used to join a segment that uses one
medium to a segment that uses a different medium. On a
10BASE‐5 network, the transceiver connects the network
adapter or other network device to the medium. Transceivers
also can be used on 10BASE‐2 or 10BASE‐T networks to attach
devices with AUI ports.
The User Datagram Protocol is a connectionless protocol that
resides above IP in the TCP/IP suite
The USERNAME is the unique name assigned to each person
