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.

● A computer network connects two or more independent computers.


Types of Computer Networks
When two or more computers are connected, it forms a
computer network.This network allows the computers to
communicate with each other and share resources.

● LAN (Local Area Network)


● MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
● WAN (Wide Area Network)
LAN (Local Area Network)
Network in small geographical Area is called LAN

Easy to Design and Maintain


High Internet Speed
Minimal Propagation Delay
Low Network Congestion
MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
Network in a City is called MAN
Larger Coverage Area
Moderate Design Complexity
High-Speed Connectivity
Supports Multiple LANs
○
WAN (Wide Area Network)
● Network spread geographically (Country or across Globe) is called WAN
(Wide Area Network)

Extensive Coverage Area


Very difficult to design and maintain
Offers a low Internet speed.
It faces a high propagation delay.
Higher Congestion in the Network
