The telephone is an example of an everyday point-to-point communications device. To use a telephone, you must know the address (phone number) of the other party. Once a connection is established,​ you can have a reasonably high-[[ddsf:​private:cookbook:​06_append:​glossary:​b:​bandwidth|bandwidth]] conversation.
