ECE 352 - ch1 - Intro - Annotated

This document provides an introduction to telecommunication networks. It discusses the architecture of the Internet and how networks are used for business, home, and mobile applications. It also describes different types of network hardware including local area networks, metropolitan area networks, wide area networks, and wireless networks. The document then covers topics such as design issues for network layers, protocol hierarchies, reference models including the OSI model and TCP/IP model, connection-oriented and connectionless services, and example network types.
