Computer Networks
• A computer network is a set of devices connected by
communication links.

• A node can be a computer, printer or any other device capable


of sending or receiving data generated by other nodes on the
network.
Computer Network
Networking
• Networking is a process of communication between two
or more remote parties, that involves the connection of
computers media and networking devices.
Advantages of Networking
• Easy Communication
• File, data and information sharing
• Resource sharing(hardware)
• Increase storage capacity
• Reduce cost
• Save time
Network Components:
• Devices: Computers, servers, routers, switches, and other
hardware connected to the network.
• Cables and Connections: Ethernet cables, fiber optic cables,
and wireless connections (Wi-Fi).
• Protocols: Sets of rules governing communication between
devices, such as TCP/IP, HTTP, and DNS.
Types of Network

• Physical structure-LAN-WAN-MAN
LAN (Local Area Network): A network confined to a small
geographic area, such as a home, school, or office.

WAN (Wide Area Network): A network that spans a large


geographic area, often connecting multiple LANs across cities or
countries.

Metropolitan Area Network (MAN): A MAN is a network


that spans a city or metropolitan area, providing connectivity
between LANs within the same region.
Network Terms
▪ Host- Workstation- Server- Client-Node

❑ Host: A network host is a computer or other device connected


to a computer network.
❑ Workstation: A workstation is a computer dedicated to a user
or group of users engaged in business or professional.
Client and Server
• For process to process communication we need Client
Server Paradigm.
• A process om local host, called a client, needs Services
from a process usually on the remote host called a server.
• A server is an a computer program that accepts and
responds to requests made by another program, known as
client.
❑ Node: A node can be a computer or some other device such
as printer that can receive, create, store or send data along
distributed network routes.
Types Of Network Architecture

• Peer to Peer: A peer to peer network is one in which two


or more PCs share files and access to devices such as printers
without requiring a separate server computer or server
software.
• Client-Server Network: In client-server model, where client
request for a service to a service and server replies
according to client request.
Data Flow
• Simplex- Half Duplex- Full Duplex
