In a MAC (Media Access Control) address, the first three octets are known as the OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier), and they identify the manufacturer or organization that produced the network card. This allows for unique identification of devices on a network.

The first message sent by the client during the three-way handshake is the SYN (Synchronize) packet. It is used to initiate the connection setup process by indicating the sequence number for data exchange and request a response from the server.

MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) is a network that typically covers a city or a large campus. It has a larger geographic scope than a LAN (Local Area Network) but is smaller than a WAN (Wide Area Network). MANs are often used by service providers to connect multiple LANs within a city.

MAC in MAC Address stands for "Media Access Control." It is a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node on a network, and it's used to control access to the network medium.

Julia should use a VPN (Virtual Private Network). A VPN allows users to securely connect to their company's network over the internet, providing consistent and secure connectivity, no matter where Julia is located. It ensures that her data is encrypted and private.

POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) is commonly used for email clients that download messages from the server and delete them from the server after retrieval. It's a one-way communication protocol for email.

After the three-way handshake is completed by the server receiving an ACK (Acknowledgment) from the client, the server can start sending data over the established connection. This data transfer phase follows the initial connection setup.

The Hamming distance is used to determine the number and location of errors in error-correcting codes. It measures the number of differing bits between two binary sequences and helps identify the exact bit positions that need correction. A smaller Hamming distance indicates a better error-correcting capability of the code.

Mesh Topology is a network layout where every device connects directly to every other device. This provides the highest level of redundancy and fault tolerance but can be expensive to implement and maintain.

The process of establishing a connection, transmitting data, and then terminating the connection is characteristic of the TCP (Transmission Control Protocol). TCP is a reliable, connection-oriented protocol used in many network applications, ensuring data integrity and order.
