E-Business

 Online Business or e-business is any kind of business or commercial transaction


that includes sharing information across the internet.
 Commerce constitutes the exchange of products and services between businesses,
groups and individuals and can be seen as one of the essential activities of any
business.
 Electronic commerce focuses on the use of ICT to enable the external activities
and relationships of the business with individuals, groups and other businesses,
while e-business refers to business with help of the internet.
Network

A network is defined as a group of two or more computer systems linked together.


There are many types of computer networks, including the following:
 local-area networks (LANs): The computers are geographically close together (that is,
in the same building).
 wide-area networks (WANs): The computers are farther apart and are connected by
telephone lines or radio waves.
 campus-area networks (CANs): The computers are within a limited geographic area,
such as a campus or military base.
 metropolitan-area networks MANs): A data network designed for a town or city.
 home-area networks (HANs): A network contained within a user's home that connects
a person's digital devices.
Network Characteristics
NETWORK TOPOLOGY
 Wireless nets can also be categorized according to their topology, i.e. a connectivity
configuration.
 There may be various combinations of connections between nodes:
o Star
o Bus
o Ring
o Tree
o Mesh
o Hybrid
 Protocol : The protocol defines a common set of rules and signals that computers
on the network use to communicate. One of the most popular protocols for LANs
is called Ethernet. Another popular LAN protocol for PCs is the IBM token-ring
network .
 Architecture : Networks can be broadly classified as using either a peer-to-peer or
client/server architecture.
 Computers on a network are sometimes called nodes. Computers and devices that
allocate resources for a network are called servers.
