Computer Communication and Network

A domain name is the part of a network address that identifies which domain it belongs to. Domain names have a suffix like .com, .edu, or .gov that indicate the top level domain. There are a limited number of top level domains that identify the type of organization like commercial, education, government, or military.

*The process of exchanging of ideas.

Source Idea Receiver


The credibility of information on a website is no
longer automatically accepted.

There is an “ideological clash” between “official”


content (the hotel’s own website, brochures,
descriptions, traditional star rating, etc.) and CGM-
related content (blogs, customer review sites, etc.).

What do customers believe?


Problem with medium used.

Clarity of idea

Effect of external factors

Reception from the receiver’s point of view


*A computer network is a group of
interconnected computers.

*Networks may be classified according to a


wide variety of characteristics.

*Networking is a complex part of computing


that makes up most of the IT Industry.
A personal area network (PAN) is a computer
network used for communication among
computer devices close to one person.

Some examples of devices that are used in a


PAN are printers, fax machines, telephones,
PDAs or scanners.

The reach of a PAN is typically within about


20-30 feet (approximately 6-9 meters).
*A network covering a small geographic area, like a
home, office, or building.

*Current LANs are most likely to be based on


Ethernet technology.

*For example, a library may have a wired or


wireless LAN for users to interconnect local devices
(e.g., printers and servers) and to connect to the
internet.
A network that connects two or more LANs
but that is limited to a specific and
contiguous geographical area such as a
college campus, industrial complex, or a
military base.

A CAN may be considered a type of MAN


(metropolitan area network), but is
generally limited to an area that is smaller
than a typical MAN.
*A Metropolitan Area Network is a network that
connects two or more Local Area Networks or
Campus Area Networks together but does not
extend beyond the boundaries of the immediate
town/city.

*Routers, switches and hubs are connected to create


a Metropolitan Area Network.
*A WAN is a data communications network that
covers a relatively broad geographic area (i.e.
one city to another and one country to another
country) and that often uses transmission
facilities provided by common carriers, such as
telephone companies.
*Global area networks (GAN) specifications are in
development by several groups, and there is no
common definition.

*In general, however, a GAN is a model for


supporting mobile communications across an
arbitrary number of wireless LANs, satellite
coverage areas, etc.
 A special type of network, linking computers and users all over
the world using open communications protocol and standards.

 Although the Internet itself has existed since the 1960’s, since the
launch of the World Wide Web in the 1990’s it has experienced
phenomenal growth, and now acts as a powerful medium or
electronic commerce, allowing buyers and sellers to
communicate directly with each other to carry out commercial
transactions.

 The hotel industry’s use of the Web as an information


distribution and sales media.
*consisting of a worldwide interconnection of
governmental, academic, public, and private
networks

*Service providers and large enterprises exchange


information about the reach ability of their address
ranges through the Border Gateway Protocol
(BGP).
In modern practice, the interconnected networks
use the Internet Protocol. There are at least three
variants of internetwork, depending on who
administers and who participates in them:

Internet
Intranet
Extranet
*The Internet Protocol is
the principal
communications protocol
in the Internet protocol
suite for relaying
datagrams across
network boundaries. Its
routing function enables
internetworking, and
essentially establishes
the Internet.
*An intranet is a set of interconnected networks,
using the Internet Protocol and uses IP-based tools
such as web browsers and ftp tools, that is under the
control of a single administrative entity.

*That administrative entity closes the intranet to the


rest of the world, and allows only specific users.

*Most commonly, an intranet is the internal network

*A large intranet will typically have its own web


server to provide users with organizational
information.
is limited in scope to a single organization or
entity but which also has limited connections to
the networks of one or more other usually, but not
necessarily, trusted organizations or entities

e.g. a company's customers may be given access


to some part of its intranet creating in this way an
extranet, while at the same time the customers
may not be considered 'trusted' from a security
standpoint.
* the part of a network address that identifies it as belonging to a
particular domain

* Every domain name has a suffix that indicates which top level
domain (TLD) it belongs to. There are only a limited number of
such domains. For example:
* gov - Government agencies
* edu - Educational institutions
* org - Organizations (nonprofit)
* mil - Military
* com - commercial business
* net - Network organizations
