Networking
Fundamentals
 Computer Network

hardware components interconnected by communication
channels (cables or satellites) that allow sharing of resources
and information.
 Network Architectures
● Peer-to-Peer Architecture
● Networks in which all computers have an equal status are called
peer to peer networks. Generally in such a network each terminal
has an equally competent CPU.
● Client-Server Architecture
● Networks in which certain computers have special dedicated tasks,
providing services to other computers (in the network) are called
client server networks. The computer(s) which provide services are
called servers and the ones that use these services are called clients.
 Types of Networks
● Local Area Network (LAN)
● A local area network (LAN) is one which connects computers
and devices in a limited geographical area such as home,
school, computer laboratory, office building, or closely
positioned group of buildings.
● Usually local area networks offer very high speeds and are
used for connecting computers and peripherals such as
printers, scanners, etc.
 Types of Networks
● Wide Area Network (WAN)
● A wide area network (WAN) is one which covers a broad area
(i.e., any network that links across metropolitan, regional, or
national boundaries).

businesses, governments, non-profit organizations, individual
consumers, artists, entertainers, and many others.
 Internet

networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite to serve
billions of users worldwide.

which help us in our daily, personal and professional life. Internet is widely
used by students, educational institutes; scientist and professionals to
gather information for research and general information. Businesses use
the Internet to access complex databases such as financial database.

helps in maintaining contact with friends and relatives who live across
different locations via Internet chatting systems and email software. Internet
is also becoming a major source of entertainment for the general public.

retrieved by using a web browser such as Firefox on the local
computer.
● A Web Browser is a software used to view Web sites and acts as an
interface between the user and the World Wide Web. A Web server
is a computer that stores web sites and their related files for viewing
on the Internet.
 Advantages of Network
● Data Sharing: One of the most important uses of networking is
to allow the sharing of data.
● Files Transfer : Users can send text files, spread sheets,
documents, presentations, audio files, video files, etc. to other
users.
● Hardware Sharing: Hardware components such as printers,
scanners, etc. can also be shared.
 Advantages of Network
● Internet Access Sharing: You can purchase a single Internet
connection and share it among other computers in a network
instead of purchasing multiple Internet connection for each
computer.
● Usage of network based applications: Such as web browsers,
email clients, chat application, audio & video calling, etc. is
another advantage.
 Getting Access to Internet
● Internet Service Provider

you with access to the Internet via a dial-up (using modem) or direct
(hard wired) or wireless connection.
● MODEM

form (analog signals) that can travel over phone lines. It also re-
converts the analog signals back into digital signals. The word
modem is derived from its function MOdulator/DEModulator.

networks. High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is 3G
mobile telephony communications protocol that allows higher
data transfer speeds and capacity.
 WiMax
● WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a
wireless communications standard designed to provide mobile
broadband connectivity across cities and countries through a
variety of devices. WiMAX is a long range system, covering
many kilometres and is typically used where DSL or Cable
Internet Access cannot be used; this could be difficulty in
laying out cables for home or offices located in remote
locations but need access to the Internet.
 WiFi
● Wi-Fi is a popular technology that allows an electronic device
such as computers or mobile phones to exchange data
wirelessly over a network, including high-speed Internet
connections. Wi-Fi is used where cables cannot be run (such as
old buildings, outdoor areas) to provide network and Internet
access. Wi-Fi can also be used where users require mobile
connectivity.
 Data Transfer on Internet
● Each packet is sent from computer to computer until it finds its
destination. Each computer on the way decides where next to
send the packet. All packets may not take the same route.
● At the destination, the packets are examined. If any packets are
missing or damaged, a message is sent asking for them to be
re-sent. This continues until all packets have been received
intact.
● The packets are now reassembled into their original form. All
this done in seconds!
