A peer to peer network 3) A language that two computers "speak" while communicating over a network is c alled ____________. A protocol 4) A series of LANs connected together by any means is called ____________. An internetwork 5)What kind of network is often used to connect horizontal segments on a large e nterprise internetwork? A backbone 6) Which layer of the OSI model is responsible for translating different syntaxe s? The presentation layer 7) A network in which the medium carries only one signal is called ____________.
