Briefly describe both the similarities and differences between a wireless networking and wired networks.

What will be an ideal response?


For all their disconnected goodness, wireless networks share more similarities than differences with wired networks. With the exception of the first two OSI layers, wireless networks use the same protocols as wired networks. The thing that differs is the type of media-radio waves instead of cables-and the protocols for transmitting and accessing data. Different wireless networking solutions have come and gone in the past, but the wireless networking market these days is dominated by the most common implementation of the IEEE 802.11 wireless standard, Wi-Fi.
