Part 1 (Computer Networks Definition)
• Computer Network :
• a collection of computers, and other devices, or
peripherals connected together through connecting
media to perform certain task such as :
Share Resources
• Resources can be :
• File Sharing
• Devices Sharing
• Software Sharing with multi-user licenses.
• Voice and Video calls
• Shared Internet Access
Part1 (Network Elements)
• Network Elements
✓Hardware
• Devices
• Computers – Printers –Phone – Routers - Switches
• Medium
• Wired -Wireless –Satellites
✓Software
• Messages
• Information that travels over the medium such as Mails-WhatsApp….etc
• Protocols
• Governs how messages flow across network such as http –https-FTP-RDP
Session 1 (Network Basic Terminologies )
• NIC (Network Interface Card)/network adapter or LAN adapter.
• a hardware that enable the device to directly access the network
• Internal NIC (plugs into the motherboard directly)
• External NIC(Wireless and USB based )
• Mac address:
• Physical Address, Unique address over the world burned on the NIC
card
• IP address :
• logical address, identify each device on an IP network layer.
• Protocols
• Communication rules that all entity must agree on http –https-FTP-RDP
• Topology
• how devices are connected (shape) and how message flow from one
device to another device
Session 1 (Network Basic Terminologies )
• Hub
• Allow different nodes to communicate with each other at the same
network(Slow the network)
• Switch
• Allow different nodes to communicate with each other at the same
network and time without slowing each other
• Router
• Allow different networks to communicate with each other
• Repeater
• Regenerate the signal over the same network before the signal
becomes too weak or corrupted
How to apply networks ?
➢ According to Covered Area
▪ How large is the network?

Session 1 (Network Topology)
• Network Topology
• how devices are connected (shape) and how message
flow from one device to another device, Each topology
has its own advantages and disadvantages
