may be discarded before reaching their targets. UDP is useful when TCP would
be too complex, too slow, or just unnecessary.
UTP
Unshielded twisted-pair cable.

A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share the same collision

A VLAN serves as a logical workgroup with no physical barriers, allowing users to
share information and resources as though located on the same LAN.
