NETWORK SOFTWARE

Computer network is a group of computers and other devices connected together by a suitable media .The computer on common transmission
media to highly managed and optimized data and information transfer systems. The means that part from data communications, the focus is
now squarely on how best to utilized networks resources.

Network software can be classified into two main groups namely:

2. Network protocol M

y definition communication refers to the transfer of information from one place to another between two individuals using agreed
symbols, signs or even human behavior such as nodding. Exchange of information relies on a communication system to convert, amplify
and send signal through a common medium. Message, sender medium and receiver are the essential components of communication
systems.

If a system is extended by cascading more communication systems, it is called networked systems.

In case communication involves the sending of information over a significant distance, it must use telecommunication as an aid. By definition,
telecommunications refers to the transmission of information between distant locations by some electromagnetic means.

Data communications is defined as the inter change and processing of encoded (digital that is, Is and Os) information between distant locations
single telecommunications.

PROTOCOLS
This are set of rules and procedures that govern communication between different device or people. In computer networking, protocol refer to the rules and
technical procedures that govern communication between different computers.

How protocol work

The data transmission process over network has to be broken down into discrete systematic steps. At each step certain actions takes place and steps has its
own procedures as defined by network protocol. The co-ordination of protocol must be coordinated so that there are no conflicts.

COMPARISON AMONG DIFFERENT TOPOLOGIES


Type Advantage Disadvantage

Star Simple and easy to identify Failure of central node causes disaster
topology
Mesh Immunity to bottleneck and failure problems Expensive to provide an alternative routing
topology
Bus Simple to control traffic Only a single communications channel is required
Topology to service all the nodes
Ring Simple to implement One channel is required
