This document discusses computer networks and networking. It defines what a computer network is and explains that networks allow sharing of resources between connected computers and devices. The document outlines some common uses and benefits of networks, including resource sharing, increased reliability, and cost savings. It also discusses different types of networks including local area networks (LANs), metropolitan area networks (MANs), and wide area networks (WANs), and compares their typical sizes. Finally, it covers common network topologies like star, ring, bus, mesh and tree configurations.

1 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala Computer Network A COMPUTER NETWORK Is a communication system where a group of computers and other devices like printers are connected by cables and other hardware. A network allows resources to be shared among all the systems connected to the network. This concept of connected computers Sharing resources is called networking. 2 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala 5/13/2014 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala 2 USES OF NETWORKS RESOURCE SHARING HIGH RELIABILITY SAVING MONEY COMMUNICATION MEDIUM 3 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala BENEFITS OF USING NETWORKS EXPENSIVE RESOURCES AND DATA CAN BE SHARED AMONG USERS. INCREASED RELIABILITY AND CAN MAINTAIN GOOD RESPONSE TIME. THE ARCHITECTURE CAN BE EASILY EXPANDED TO HANDLE INCREASED VOLUME AND NEW APPLICATIONS. DISK DRIVES AND SERVER STATIONS CAN BE SIMPLY CONTROLLED. DATA CAN BE EASILY COLLECTED TO CENTRAL LOCATION. DATA CAN BE PROCESSED BY MULTIPLE USER.
Production System Business applications Home applications Mobile users
5 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala Production Applications Main purpose of networking in manufacturing system is to make all programs, equipments and especially data available to anyone on network regardless of physical location of resources and users. Plotters, rapid prototype machines, coordinate measuring machine, printers, CNC machines, display panels and other equipments are centrally connected to share information instantly.
6 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala 5/13/2014 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala 4 TYPES OF NETWORKING BROADLY CLASSIFIED IN TWO CATEGORIES:
Miniature less than 50 m Small less than 500 m Medium less than 1 Km Large greater than 1 Km 7 ACCORDING TO CONNECTIVITY
LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN) METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK (MAN) WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN)
Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala COMPARISION OF NETWORK SIZES Network Sizes LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN) 10M - ROOM 100M - BUILDING 1KM - CAMPUS METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK (MAN) 10KM - CITY WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN) 100KM - STATE 1000KM - COUNTRY THE INTERNET 10000KM - PLANET
8 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala 5/13/2014 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala 5 Local Area Network (LAN) A NETWORK THAT IS LIMITED TO RELATIVELY SMALL SPATIAL AREA SUCH AS A ROOM, A SINGLE BUILDING, A SHIP, OR AN AIRCRAFT LOCAL AREA NETWORKS ARE SOMETIMES CALLED A SINGLE LOCATION NETWORK 9 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala FEATURES OF LAN RELATIVELY HIGH SPEED EASY / REASONABLY PRICED CONNECTION DISTANCE LIMITED TO A FEW METERS CONNECTING DIFFERENT DEVICES COMPUTERS TERMINALS / PRINTERS STORAGE
10 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala 5/13/2014 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala 6 METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK (MAN) A NETWORK THAT CONNECTS TWO OR MORE LANS TOGETHER BUT DOES NOT EXTEND BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES OF THE IMMEDIATE TOWN, CITY, OR METROPOLITAN AREA. MULTIPLE ROUTERS, SWITCHES & HUBS ARE CONNECTED TO CREATE A MAN. 11 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala MAN 12 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala 5/13/2014 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala 7 FEATURES OF MAN A METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK (MAN) COVERS A CITY OR A REGION OF A CITY BORROW TECHNOLOGIES FROM LANS AND WANS ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY FIBER OPTIC SYSTEMS ARE VERY OFTEN A RING TOPOLOGY HIGH TRANSFER SPEED
13 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN) A WAN IS A DATA COMMUNICATION NETWORK THAT COVERS A RELATIVELY BROAD GEOGRAPHIC AREA AND THAT OFTEN USES TRANSMISSION FACILITIES PROVIDED BY COMMON CARRIERS, SUCH AS TELEPHONE COMPANIES 14 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala 5/13/2014 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala 8 15 TOPOLOGIES THE TERM TOPOLOGY REFERS TO THE WAY A NETWORK IS LAID OUT PHYSICALLY . TWO OR MORE DEVICES CONNECT TO A LINK, TWO OR MORE LINKS FORM A TOPOLOGY. THE TOPOLOGY OF A NETWORK IS THE GEOMETRIC REPRESENTATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP OF ALL LINKS AND LINKING DEVICES (USUALLY CALLED NODES) TO EACH OTHER. THERE ARE BASIC FIVE OPOLOGIES POSSIBLE: 15 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala 16 STAR TOPOLOGY EASY TO MANAGE AND CONTROL NO LIMIT FOR NUMBER OF ARMS EASY EXPANSION BY ADDING MORE NODES CENTRAL NODE IS A SINGLE POINT FAILURE 16 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala 5/13/2014 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala 9 17 RING TOPOLOGY DEDICATED POINT TO POINT CONNECTION WITH PCs ON EITHER SIDE UNI DIRECTIONAL EASY TO INSTALL AND CONFIGURE A BREAK IN RING CAN DISABLE ENTIRE NETWORK
17 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala 18 BUS TOPOLOGY VERY HIGH SPEED TRANSMISSION SINGLE BACKBONE A SINGLE BREAK CAN STOP ALL TRANSMISSION LIMITED DISTANCE 18 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala 5/13/2014 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala 10 19 MESH TOPOLOGY 19 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala LOCATION B LOCATION C LOCATION A LOCATION D LOCATION E Connects all the devices to each other There is least chance of complete shut down Becomes more complex with increase in number of devices Large wire network is more confusing and difficult to find fault Eliminates traffic problem Gives privacy and security TREE TOPOLOGY It is hybrid of BUS and STAR topology DIVISION COMPUTER DIVISION COMPUTER PLANT COMPUTERS PLANT COMPUTERS CORPORATE HOST COMPUTER 20 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala 5/13/2014 Devender Kumar, AP, MED, Thapar University, Patiala 11 21 COMPARISON OF TOPOLOGIES STAR RING BUS MESH A D V A N T A G E S : EASY TO INSTALL MORE EASY TO INSTALL EASY INSTALLATION ELIMINATES AND RECONFIGURE AND RECONFIGURE TRAFFIC PROBLEM
EASY FOR FAULT FAULT ISOLATION IS LESS CABLE REQD. MORE PRIVACY IDENTIFICATION VERY SIMPLE THAN ALL TOPO. AND SECURIT AND ISOLATION
D I S A D V A N T A G E S : MORE CABLE REQD. UNIDIRECTIONAL FAULT ISOLATION, MORE NUMBER THAN TREE, RING TRAFFIC RECONFIGURATION OF CABLES ARE OR BUS IS DIFFICULT REQUIRED
