Ans: microwave
v) Define communication protocol. Name all three key elements of a protocol.
Ans: A protocol is a set of rules that governs data communications. It represents an agreement between the communicating devices on how the communication is to proceed.

w) What are the role of TCP and IP in TCP/IP protocol?
Ans: TCP is a protocol for communication between computers used as a standard for transmitting data over networks and is the basis for standard internet protocols. IP obtains the address and TCP guarantees delivery of data to that address.
x) Differentiate between Baud and bits .
Ans: Baud is a unit of measure of transmission speed in modems.where as bits per second is a data rate. In other words , in transportation , a baud is analogous to a car , and a bit is analogous to a passenger.
y) Define point to point and multipoint video conferencing.
Ans. A two-person videoconference is known as point–to-point. While more than two people involved in a session is a multipoint conference.
