These are 3 terms or topics from the lecture or lab that I wanted to learn more about, and my research results.
SNMP: SNMP, Simple Network Management Protocol, is a protocol in networking that is used for managing and monitoring network-connected devices. The protocol is embedded in numerous types of local devices. It is used as a common mechanism for relaying network information for network devices in LAN and WAN. In the OSI model it is an application layer protocol.
ASCII: ASCII, American Standard Code for Information Interchange, is the numerical representation of characters in computing. This is needed for humans to be able to use computers, since computers only do numbers and humans prefer characters.
