    The document discusses key concepts in data communication and computer networks. It defines the medium as the physical path over which a message travels. The message itself contains the information to be communicated. Network reliability is measured by factors like failure frequency and recovery time. An unauthorized user represents a security issue for networks. A star topology requires a central controller while a bus topology uses a multipoint connection. Communication between devices like a computer and keyboard is via simplex transmission while a television broadcast is an example of simplex. A point-to-point connection dedicates a link between two devices, while a multipoint connection allows multiple devices to share a single link. Half-duplex transmission allows both communicating devices to transmit but not simultaneously.
