How do you connect?

I connect to the internet via a Verizon DSL connection. Actually, I have a wireless connection to a linksys router that is connected to Verizon DSL via a Telephone Twisted Pair connection to a standard telephone jack.

Please answer the following questions:

How are you connecting to the internet?

Include in the description the media or wire.

Include in the description how quick the connection is and how reliable.

Protocol Layers

Think about what is happening as you are accessing this class. While you are browsing you are using a Web Browser (application layer) that is talking to the TCP (transport) layer that is talking to the IP (Network) layer that is talking to the link layer. Notice I did not say what the link layer is. I do not know. Look back at others responses to this activity and read how others are connecting.

Please answer the following questions:

How many different link layers do you think the people in the class are using?

Since we are all interacting did you notice the different layers?

If not why not?
