Computer Networks - Class Notes

Computer Networks - Class Notes

Definition:

A computer network is a group of interconnected computers that communicate with each other to

share resources and information.

Types of Networks:

1. LAN (Local Area Network)

2. MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)

3. WAN (Wide Area Network)

4. PAN (Personal Area Network)

OSI Model (7 Layers):

1. Physical Layer - Transmits raw bit stream over the physical medium.

2. Data Link Layer - Responsible for node-to-node data transfer and error detection.

3. Network Layer - Handles routing of data (IP addressing).

4. Transport Layer - Ensures complete data transfer (TCP/UDP).

5. Session Layer - Manages sessions between applications.

6. Presentation Layer - Translates data formats (encryption, compression).

7. Application Layer - Interfaces with end-user applications (e.g., HTTP, FTP).

Common Protocols:

- HTTP: HyperText Transfer Protocol (Web communication)

- FTP: File Transfer Protocol


- TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol

- DNS: Domain Name System

- DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

Example Network Diagram (Text Representation):

[PC1]----| Switch |----[PC2]

[Router]

[Internet]

Important Concepts:

- IP Addressing (IPv4 & IPv6)

- Subnetting and CIDR

- MAC Address and ARP

- Network Topologies: Star, Ring, Bus, Mesh

- Firewalls and Network Security Basics

These notes are suitable for high school or first-year college students studying the basics of

computer networks.
