ITEM 2: Understanding Intelligent Agents
What is an Agent?
An agent is anything that can perceive its environment and take actions based on those perceptions. The role of an agent defines the specific actions it should perform in response to a performance measure. A sequence of perceptions and actions over time evaluates the agent’s behavior.
Rational Agents
A rational agent aims to maximize its expected performance, given its past perceptions. The work environment, which includes the performance

Application
An application, or application program, is a software program that runs on your computer. Web browsers, e-mail programs, word processors, games, and utilities are all applications. The word “application” is used because each program has a specific application for the user.
Base Station
In the computer world, a base station refers to the wireless access point for computers with wireless cards. It is basically a router that communicates with devices based on the Wi-Fi

Characterizing Network Traffic
Characterizing Traffic Flow
Characterizing traffic flow is the process of identifying sources and destinations of network traffic and analyzing the direction and symmetry of data traveling between sources and destinations.
- Flow can be bidirectional and symmetric. (Both ends of the flow send traffic at about the same rate.)
- In other applications, the flow can be bidirectional and asymmetric.
- Client stations send small queries and servers send large streams of data.
- In a broadcast
Understanding Computer Networks: From ISPs to IP Routing
Class 1: Introduction to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Network Technologies
Autonomous Systems (AS) and Internet Exchange Points (IXPs)
Each ISP consists of one or more Autonomous Systems (AS). An AS is a group of routers under the control of a single ISP. Each AS is assigned a unique AS Number (ASN) by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). ISPs can connect their networks through Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), which are physical locations where networks can exchange traffic.
