PAN
MAN
WAN
LAN
RATIONALE
WAN (Wide Area Network) is the type of network used by Internet Big Box, because it enables the sharing of data and resources across a large geographic area (e.g., across states and countries).
A PAN is not appropriate for Internet Big Box, because PANs are used to connect devices that are physically close to each other.
A LAN is also not appropriate for Internet Big Box because LANs connect the devices in a local area, such as a home or office building.
A MAN is not appropriate for Internet Big Box because it does not establish connections across global regions, but only across areas as large as a college campus.

HTML is a network protocol.
HTML enables users to format the components of a web page.
HTML defines blocks of text to receive URL instructions.

ARPANET began transmission in 1969, when it connected computers at UCLA, Stanford, MIT, and the University of Utah.
The U.S. government created ARPA in response to the successful launch of a satellite by the Soviet Union.
The invention of HTML enabled computers on different networks to communicate with each other.
RATIONALE
The launch of Sputnik by the Soviet Union motivated the U.S. to develop technology that enabled data transmission between computers. APRANET connected computers at UCLA, Stanford, MIT and the University of Utah in 1969. ARPANET was a predecessor of the Internet ā “an interconnected network of networks.”
The invention of TCP/IP in 1982 provided an intermediary protocol that enabled computers on different networks to communicate with each other. HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the language in which most web content is written, and is a fundamental component of the “World Wide Web.”

Which principle of the Software Engineering Code of Ethics has Gilbert violated?
Principle 2: Client and Employer
Principle 4: Judgment
Principle 3: Product
Principle 1: Public
RATIONALE
Gilbert has violated the “judgment” principle established by the Software Engineering Code of Ethics. This principle states that software engineers must maintain integrity and independence in their professional judgment. This includes disclosing conflicts of interest.

RATIONALE
A protocol is a rule for transmitting data between devices. A protocol specifies how data is transmitted, but does not resolve errors or process data. To communicate, connected devices must execute the protocol in the same way, but there are different protocols for different networks.
