2. Types of Networks:

- LAN (Local Area Network): Limited to a small geographical area.

- WAN (Wide Area Network): Covers large geographical areas.

- MAN (Metropolitan Area Network): Covers a city or town.

3. Network Topologies:

- Star: All devices connected to a central hub.

- Bus: Single communication line with multiple devices.

- Ring: Devices connected in a circular format.

4. Network Devices:

- Router: Connects different networks.

- Switch: Connects devices within the same network.

- Hub: Basic networking device (now outdated).

- Modem: Modulates and demodulates signals.

5. Protocols:

- TCP/IP: Fundamental protocol for internet communication.

- HTTP/HTTPS: Used for accessing web pages.


- FTP: File Transfer Protocol.

6. Importance of Networking:

- Enables resource sharing and communication.

- Essential for the functioning of the internet.

- Backbone of modern communication systems.
