Computer Network
- A computer network connects computers, servers, printers, and network devices to
share information and resources.
Establishing Network Access
To establish network access, you need to do the following:

1. Have a Network Interface


 Network Interface: This is a hardware component that connects your computer
to a network. The most common network interfaces are:
 Ethernet Device: Typically an Ethernet card, used for wired connections to a
Local Area Network (LAN).
 Wireless Card: Used for connecting to wireless networks (Wi-Fi).
2. Run Your Network Services
 Network Services: Essential software services that manage network operations
and connectivity. Important network services include:
 Network Service: The primary service that manages network communication.
 Firewall Service: Protects the network by controlling incoming and outgoing
network traffic based on security rules.
 Interface Device Services: Manages the hardware interfaces used to connect
to the network.
 Network Authentication Services: Ensures that users and devices are properly
authenticated before accessing the network.
 Network File Systems Services: Allows file sharing and access over the
network.
3. Have Access to a Network-Broadcast Device
 Network-Broadcast Devices: Devices that manage the transmission of data
across the network. There are four main types:
Hub
 Function: A hub receives data and sends it to all devices on the subnet. It
operates on the physical layer of the OSI model.
 Limitation: Causes network traffic since all data is delivered to all devices,
regardless of the intended receiver.
Switch
 Function: Causes network traffic because all data is sent to all devices,
regardless of the intended receiver.
 Advantage: Reduces unnecessary traffic and improves network efficiency
compared to a hub.
Router
 Function: A router evaluates a message's destination IP address and directs
it to the correct network or subnet. It acts on the network layer.
 Role: Connects different networks together and directs data to its final
destination.
Gateway
 Function: A gateway joins many types of networks, allowing them to
communicate with each other. It can function across numerous layers of the
OSI model.
 Purpose: A gateway connects multiple types of networks, allowing them to
communicate with one another. It can function at multiple layers of the OSI
model.
CP/IP Layers
The TCP/IP model is a suite of communication protocols used to interconnect network
devices on the internet. It is divided into four layers, each with specific responsibilities.
1. Network Interface Layer (Network Access Layer)
 Function: This layer is in charge of transmitting TCP/IP packets to the network
medium (such as Ethernet or Wi-Fi) and receiving packets from it. It focuses on
the physical components of network communication.
Responsibilities
- Interfacing with the network hardware.
- Handling physical addressing and accessing the network medium.

2. Internet Layer
 Function: The Internet Layer is responsible for addressing, packaging, and
routing functions. It ensures that data packets travel across networks and reach
their intended destination.
Core Protocols
 Internet Protocol (IP): Manages IP addresses, routes packets between networks,
and breaks and reassembles packets to fit within the network's maximum
transmission unit.
 Address Resolution Protocol (ARP): Translates IP addresses into hardware
(MAC) addresses, allowing devices to communicate on the same local network.
 Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP): Provides diagnostic functions like
error reporting and network troubleshooting. For example, it handles error
messages and operational information (e.g., ping).
 Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP): Manages IP multicast group
membership to ensure that multicast communication is delivered efficiently to
numerous recipients.
3. Transport Layer
 Function: Manages IP multicast group membership to ensure that multicast
communications are efficiently delivered to a large number of receivers.
Core Protocols
 TCP (Transmission Control Protocol): Provides reliable, connection-oriented
communication with error-checking and flow control.
 UDP (User Datagram Protocol): Provides fast, connectionless communication
with low overhead, suitable for applications where speed is more critical than
reliability.
