Here are resources about some accumulated lecture questions. (I'll have
results of the midterm feedback tomorrow.)

There's no question to go with it, but you might find this article on
Gigabit Ethernet interesting:

+++
Q: Now I know about TDMA and FDMA. What's CDMA?
A: CDMA stands for Code Division Muliple Access. The text doesn't cover
it, as far as I can tell. I found a fairly good article about it on
Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDMA
+++
Q: What about sending data over power lines?
A: I don't know much about this, other than it's a new link layer
technology. Here's the recent news article that probably sparked this
question:

Here's a whitepaper from Cogency, Inc. about their technology:

+++
Q: Is medium access control a problem between routers on the Internet?
A: In the backbone of the Internet -- Sprint or AT&T, say -- it is most
likely that the routers are connected by Ethernet switches (so they do not
share a collision domain), or by other technologies such as FDDI or ATM
(another link layer technology that we haven't talked about, but is
covered in the text).
+++
Q: Where is Jesus?
A: I don't know.
+++
Q: What's the answer to the question of Life, the Universe, and
Everything?
A: 42.
