Võrguside

Võrguside is an Estonian term that translates to "network connection" or "network link." It refers to the physical or logical pathway through which devices or systems communicate within a computer network. This can encompass a wide range of technologies and mediums.

Physically, võrguside can be represented by cables such as Ethernet (twisted pair) or fiber optic cables, which transmit data using electrical signals or light pulses respectively. It can also refer to wireless connections like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular networks, which use radio waves to transmit data. The choice of physical medium often depends on factors like speed requirements, distance, and cost.

Logically, võrguside represents the established communication channel between two or more network entities. This involves protocols that govern how data is formatted, transmitted, and received. Examples include TCP/IP, which forms the backbone of the internet, and various other protocols used for specific network functions like file sharing or remote access.

The quality and reliability of a võrguside are critical for network performance. Factors like bandwidth, latency, and packet loss directly impact the speed and responsiveness of network applications. Understanding and managing võrguside is fundamental to network administration, troubleshooting, and design, ensuring efficient and stable data flow.
