Introduction
The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet
protocol (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of private,
public, academic, wireless and optical networking technology.
Computer Networks
Network is a technique which is used to make personal computer to multi user behavior. through
the computers having single user multi tasking operating system or network operating system NOS.
1.Guided Media
Twisted pair Cable: A twisted pair consists of a pair of insulated conductors that are twisted
together. The advantages of a Twisted pair cable over the Two Wire Open lines are, it provide
better resistance from false noise signals.
Coaxial Cable: Coaxial cable is a round shape cable in which there is a main conductor wire.
called inner conductor which is covered with plastic insulation of a solid plastic, it foils above
it and it is wrapped in metal wire The outer conductor is called and the top is the plastic pipe
which provides protection to all of these. Coaxial cable is mostly used in cable TV.
Fiber-Optic Cable: This carries signals in the form of fluctuating light in a glass or plastic cable
An optical fiber cable consists of a glass or plastic core surrounded by a cladding of a similar
material but with a lower refractive index between the core and the cladding cause total inter
net reflection, Thus minimizing the loss of light from fiber.
2.Unguided Media
Wireless: Radio. Microwaves and satellite Channels use electromagnetic broadcast in open
space. The advantage of these channels lie in their capabilities to cover large geographical
areas. It is less expansive than the wired installation.
Network Based on Size: There are kind of networks divided on the basis of size like a network
within building is known as Local area network and the network which serves entire globe is
known as Wide Area Network.
üLAN-: (Local Area Network)
üWAN-: (Wide Area Network)
üMAN-: (Metropolitan Area Network)
LAN (Local Area Network)
LAN is used to interconnected computers in a single room, rooms with in a building or a
limited geographical area. In this network computers are connected with data communication
devices and every computer has a potential to communicate with other computer of the network.
ADVANTAGE OF LAN
üHigh degree of transmission rate.
üEasy physical connections of computer in a network.
üInexpensive medium of data transmission.
üAddition or deletion of new computers to the networks is easy.
DISADVANTAGE OF LAN
üIf the communication line fails than entire network system breaks down.
üLimited geographical area
Uses of LAN
üFile Transfer and access.

üElectronic message handling.
üRemote data base access.
üPersonal computing.
üDigital voice transmission and storage.
WAN (Wide Area Network)
The WAN is used to describe a computer network spreading a regional, national & global area.
The WAN is spreading network in very large area such as an entire country or the entire world.
A WAN can contain multiple smaller networks such as LAN or MAN. The internet is a best
example of WAN.
The Wide Area Network can be in the following form..
Wireless Network: Wireless networks are an important technology through which we
access internet or local network computer or resources very easily. Now-a-days many
of school campus are setting wireless router like VLAN or bluetooth.
Public Network: Public networks are those networks which are installed and run by the
telecommunication authorities and are made available to any organization or individual
who subscribe. example- VANs/VADs, PSDN, ISDN, PSTN etc.
Private Network: The basic technique used in all forms of private WAN is to use private
Circuits to link the locations to be served by the network. Between these fixed points the
owner of the network has complete freedom to use the circuits in any way they want.
They can use the circuit to carry large quantities of data or for high speed transmission.
MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
The MAN consists of a computer network or small region. A MAN is larger than a LAN. This is
typically limited to a single building or site. Depending on the configuration, this type of network
can cover an area form several KMs to 10 miles. Cable network is a best example of MAN.
Network Topology
The networks topologies are context of communication network refer to the way of computer or
work station in the network area linked together with physical arrangement. There are three types
of major network topologies.
·Star Topology
·Bus Topology
·Ring Topology
1.Star Topology
In Star Topology number of work stations is directly linked to a central node and any communication
between stations on a star lane must pass through a central node. There are by detection
communication between various nodes.
Advantage of Star Topology
·It offers flexibility adding or deleting number of work station to the network.
·Break down of any station or node it does not affect any other device of the network.
·Any communication must pass through the central node.
Disadvantage of star topology
·No communication between stations or nodes.
·The major disadvantage of star topology is that failure of central node disable communication
through out the whole network.
2.Bus Topology
In Bus Topology numbers of work stations are connected to a single communication line called
bus. In this type of network topology there is no central note as star lane.

Advantage of bus topology
·It is quit easy to setup.
·It offers flexibility adding or deleting number of work stations.
·If one station of topology fails it does not affect the entire system.
DISADVANTAGE OF BUS TOPOLOGY
The major disadvantage of bus topology is that any break in bus or communication line then
entire network system breaks down.
3.Ring Topology
In ring topology each station is attached with near by station on a point to point basic so that
entire system is in form of ring. In this topology, data is transmitting in one direction only. The
ring work clock wise or anti clock wise direction.
Advantage of Ring Topology
·In this topology any style transmitted on the network must pass through the all land stations.
·The ring work clock wise or anti clock wise direction at a time.
Disadvantage of Ring Topology
·In ring topology network if any one network is fail then entire network system break down.
Internet Protocol
Network protocols made the modernization of the Internet Possible. Networks protocols are sets
of rules for exchanging information. This exchange usually occurs much like a dailog between two
computers. Some examples-
1.FTP (File Transfer Protocol): FTP is used to copy files from one host to another. FTP uses port
21 for the control connection and port 20 for the data connection.
2.Telnet: Telnet is a protocol used to log in to remote computer on the internet.
3.TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol): It organize the text or binary files
in menu structure.
4.HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol): HTTP is a communication protocol. Its defines mechanism
for communication between browser and the web server.
5.Mail (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol): Send electronic messages upto 64KB.
Internet
The Internet, sometimes called simply "the Net," is a worldwide system of computer networks. A
network of networks in which users at any one computer can, if they have permission, get
information from any other computer (and sometimes talk directly to users at other computers).
The U.S. Department of Defense laid the foundation of the Internet roughly 30 years ago with a
network called ARPANET. But the general public didn't use the Internet much until after the
development of the World Wide Web in the early 1990s.
History of Internet
In 1969, the U.S. Defence Department funded a project to develop a network, which can it has
stand the bombing. Basically the idea was to develop a very secure network which can work
even after a nuclear attack. This project was known as ARPANET. The proposed network was not
supposed to have a central control – which would be an obvious target. Ten years of research
brought Local Area Ethernet Networks (LANs) and workstations were developed to get connected
to LAN. These workstations and LANs were then connected to the ARPANET. For next decade the
ARPANET grew and its decentralized features helped its rapid expansion. Computers connected
to ARPANET used to standard or rule to communicate with each other.This standard used by
ARPANET is known as NCP (National Control Protocol).

Concept of Internet & WWW
What is the Internet?
The Internet is a global collection of computer networks that are linked together by devices called
routers and use a common set of protocols for data transmission known as TCP/IP. The primary
purpose of the internet is to facilitate the sharing of information. There are many different tools
used on the internet to make this possible. The most popular of all Internet tools is the WWW.
What is the WWW (World Wide Web)?
The WWW is a collection of internet sites that can be accessed by using a hypertext interface.
Hypertext documents on the web contain links to other documents located anywhere on the web.
The interesting thing about Hypertext links is that the links might take you to related material on
another computer located anywhere in the world, rather than just to a file on your local HDD.
Browser: A WWW or web browser is software on your computer that allows you to access the
World Wide Web. example include Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Please
Know that a browser can’t work its magic unless you are somehow connected to the internet.
Hypertext: Hypertext is text that contains electronic links to other text. In other words, If you
click on hypertext it will take you to other related material.
HTML: HTML is a set of commands used to create World Wide Web documents. The command
allow the document creator to define the parts of the document. For Example, you may have
text marked as headings, paragraphs, bulleted text, footers etc.
URL (Uniform Resource Locator): The URL identifies the host computer name, directory
path, and file name of the item. It also identifies the protocol used to locate the item such as
hypertext TCP/IP, telnet or news. For example, the URL for the main page of the Open website is-
http://www.google.com.
HTTP (Hypertext Transport Protocol): HTTP is the protocol used to transfer hypertext or hyper-
media documents.
Home Page: A home page is usually the starting point for locating information at a WWW site.
Client and Server: If a computer has a web browser installed, It is know as a client. A host
computer that is capable of providing information to others is called a server. A server requires
special software in order to provide web documents to others.
Application of Internet
Internet Services is referred as the facility you are availed through internet. There are many kind
of internet facility we are availed now-a-day. Take a look at below points.
Online Transaction: All the financial companies or banks have been online and making online
transactions from a far away branch to its head branch. All the share market companies are
trading online.
Searching: When we need any kind of information we do find it on a certain website or search
it through search engines, we can find any mathematical or scientific solution of a query.
Online Ticketing: We can book tickets of airlines, railways, buses, movies and so on. Only we
need to pay the amount of that through a payment gateway.
Online Application: Now-a-days an application for a post is applied through online mode. Most
of the Government web portal is asking online application.
E-Communication: There is number of facilities to communicate through online sending email,
chatting, sending free sms to cell phones, voice on internet protocol and so on.
Weather forecasting: Internet is used to broadcast the news and weather report.
E-Commarce: Through internet, we can buy and sell anything online. There is number of buy &
sell web portals. We can do advertisement of any brand or asset through various popular
advertising websites.

Website Address and URL
WebAddress-
Web Address is unique address following by the domain name is used to access a certain website
to avail related information. The Domain has two parts, a host name and domain. For Example
google.com, here after dot(.) there 3 letters (com) of the address is addressing what kind of web
site. The letter addressing system is also called as the Dynamic Name Server(DNS).
Some lists of letter addressing systems are-
.com A commercial enterprises
.mil A military site
.org A organization site (nonprofits, etc.)
.int A organizations established by international treaty
.net A network
.biz A commercial and personal
.edu A educational site (universities, schools, etc.)
.info A commercial and personal
.gov A government organizations
.name A personal sites
.co.in A commercial enterprises in india
.co.uk A commercial enterprises in United Kingdoms
Uniform Resource Locator (URL)-
A URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator, previously Universal Resource Locator-A common
way to get to a Web sits is to enter the URL of its home page file in your web browser’s address
line.
Structure of a URL: Every HTTP URL consists of following, in the given order.
A colon, two slashes.
A host, normally given as a domain name but sometimes as a literal IP address.
optionally a port number
the full path of the resource.
http://www.google.com:7808/osmosetechnology/a=b&x=y
Protocol host port Resource path query
Absolute URL: The word absolute, in English, Means “not dependent on anything else”. It
also means “Free from Doubt”. An absolute URL is, thus, something that is independent or
free from any relationship. When you use an absolute URL, you point directly to a file.
In another way an absolute URL uses the following format:
scheme://server/path/resource
scheme: Specifies how the resource is to be accessed.
server: Specifies the name of the computer where the resource is located.
path: Specifies the sequence of directories leading to the target. If resource is omitted,
the target is the last directory inpath.
resource: If included, resource is the target, and is typically the name of a file. It may be
a simple file, or a structured document.
Introduction of IP Address
IP stands for internet protocol. It is a unique identifier that is assigned to a computer on the
Internet. It is a numerical address with four numbers separated with dots. The value of each
number is between 0 to 255. These numbers are called octets. Every computer on the internet
has a unique IP address. An example of IP address is:200.12.1.180

ISP (Internet Service Provider)
Internet service providers are the companies who do provide the service to access the internet
on a node. The role of an internet service provider is to provide internet service to those who
need internet service. Internet service providers may offer dail-up or broadband service to
consumers. Dail-up connections require the use of a phone line and usually connections of 56KB
or less. Broadband connection can be ISDN, broadband wireless access, cable modem, DSL,
satellite or Ethrnet. All ISP’s have their own servers, and the users are connected to those servers.
There is number of ISP providers companies like- BSNL, Vodafone, Airtel, Idea, Reliance Jio etc.
Modes of Connection Internet
Internet become most important things for anyone, so that it is important to know the method,
how to connect your computer with internet. Internet access sold by internet service providers
delivering connectivity at a wide range of data transfer rates via various networking technologies.
Here we discuss about some internet access method as Hotspot, WiFi, LAN Cable, broadband,
USB tethering.
HotSpot: A hotSpot is a physical location of any device which uses internet and provides
internet access for other users. Through hotspot people may obtain internet access, using
Wi-Fi technology, via a wireless local area network(WLAN) by using a router connected to an
internet service provider.
Wi-Fi: Wi-fi is the popular name for a wireless local area network. Wi-fi stands for wireless
fidelity. It is a wireless internet connection which let a user to access the internet through
radio waves unlike wired connection. Wi-Fi data rates range from 6 to 600 MB/s. Wi-Fi service
range is fairly short, typically 20 to 250 m or from 65 to 820 feet.
Cable Internet access: Cable Internet or cable modem access provides Internet access via
hybrid fiber coaxial wiring originally developed to carry television signals. In a cable modem
termination system, all nodes for cable subscribers in a neighborhood connect to a cable
company’s central office.
Broadband: The term broadband includes a broad range of technologies, all of which provide
higher data rate access to the internet. This high-speed Internet connection is provided through
either cable or telephone companies. These technologies use wires or fiber optic cables in
contrast to wireless broadband.
USB tethering: Tethering is the sharing of a mobile device’s Internet connection with other
connected computers. You can share your phone’s mobile data with another device, like your
laptop, through tethering. There are three types of tethering, Wi-Fi tethering, Bluetooth
tethering, USB tethering.
Identifying and uses of IP/MAC/IMEI of various devices
How to find the IP Address-
Press the Windows Start key to open the Start screen.
Type CMD and press ENTER to launch the command prompt.
Type ipconfig/all at the command prompt to check the network card settings.
The IP address are listed under the appropriate adapter as Physical address and IPv4 Address.
You can copy the Physical Address and Ipv4 Address from the command prompt by right click
in the command prompt and clicking Mark.
Select the text you want to copy with the mouse and hit the Enter key to copy it. You should
now be able to paste the text elsewhere using the standard clipboard “paste” function.

How to Identify IMEI number-
Every mobile phone has an International Mobile Equipment Identify (IMEI) number that identifies
your phone. If your phone is stolen, you can call your network provider and have them blacklist
the device using its IMEI number.
iOS user: Setting App - General - About.
Android Phone user: Setting - About Phones - Status.
Popular Web Browsers
A Web browser is a software application for accessing information on the World Wide Web. Each
individual web page, image, and video is identified by a distinct Uniform Resource Locator, enabling
browsers to retrieve these resources from a web server and display them on the user’s device.
Internet Explorer: Internet Explorer was a series of graphical web browsers developed by
Microsoft and included in the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems, starting in 1995.
Google Chrome: Google chrome is a cross-platform web browser developed by Google. It
was first released in 2008 for Microsoft Windows, and was later ported to linux, macOS, iOS
and Android.
Mozilla Firefox: Mozilla Firefox is a free and open-source web browser developed by the
Mozilla Foundation and its subsidiary, Mozilla Corporation.
Opera : Opera is a web browser for Microsoft Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, and Linux
operating system, developed by Opera Software.
Surfing The web
Alternatively referred too as Web surfing, surfing describes the act of browsing the Internet by
going from one web page to another web page using hyperlinks in an Internet browser. The term
“surfing” was first coined by Mark McChill. You can use a search engine, such as google, Yahoo etc.
Popular Search Engine
Search engine is designed to help you to find information stored on the web to your computer
system. The search engine allows you to make a query usually with a word or phrase and retrieves
a list of items that best match the criteria you have requested. The most common purpose search
engines are Yahoo, Altavista, Google, AOL, HotBot, Infoseek, Ask.com, Bing, Lycos etc.
Searching on Internet
Searching the internet keep some important points in your mind. Most of the information on the
Internet is not edited or reviewed and anyone with a computer and access to the Internet can
publish content. You don't always know where the information comes from.
Decide on your search topic: Its important to define your search topic as clearly and in a few
words. From the keywords you have written down, choose those you think best describe topic.
