INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER
NETWORKS
Data Communication and Computer Networks
Data Communication:

Communication means sharing information, which can be local or remote

The process of transmitting data between devices or systems through a


communication medium.
Data Communication: Components

Message, sender, receiver, transmission medium and protocol


Message: The information or data being transmitted.
Sender: The device that initiates the communication
Receiver: The device that receives the transmitted message.
Data Communication: Components
Transmission medium: The physical path through which a message travels from the
sender to the receiver.

● Protocol: A set of rules that govern data communication.


FTP
SMTP
HTTP
Data Flow
Simplex Mode:

Communication is unidirectional, where one device transmits and the other only receives
● Keyboard and traditional monitors
Data Flow
Half-Duplex

Each device can both transmit and receive, but not at the same time.

● Communication is bidirectional
Data Flow
Full-Duplex

Communication is bidirectional and simultaneous


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

A system where multiple computers are connected to share information and


communicate using common rules or protocols.
