Presentation On Introduction To Computer Network: Presented To: DR Suhalia Parveen

The document provides an introduction to computer networks. It defines a computer network as a group of connected devices that can exchange data and share resources. There are five basic components of a computer network: a message or data to transfer, a sender, a receiver, a protocol to agree on communication rules, and a transmission medium to carry the information. Computer networking allows interconnected devices to exchange data and share resources using communication protocols over physical or wireless technologies. There are different types of networks for various applications including resource and information sharing, communication, entertainment, accessing remote databases, and business uses.

INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER NETWORK
• A computer network is a group of devices connected with each other through
a transmission medium such as wires, cables etc. These devices can be
computers, printers, scanners, Fax machines etc.

There are five basic components of a computer network

COMPUTER NETWORK
Computer networking refers to interconnected computing devices that
can exchange data and share resources with each other. These networked
devices use a system of rules, called communications protocols, to
transmit information over physical or wireless technologies.
COMPUTER NETWORK TERMINOLOGY
• Network: A collection of interconnected devices, such as computers, printers, and servers,
that can communicate with each other.

• Node: Any device connected to a network, such as a computer, printer, or router.

• Protocol: A set of rules and standards that define how devices on a network communicate
with each other.

• IP Address: A unique numerical identifier assigned to each device on a network, used to


identify and communicate with other devices.
• Router: A networking device that connects multiple networks together and forwards data
packets between them.

• Switch: A networking device that connects devices on a network and forwards data packets
between them.

• Firewall: A security device or software that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing
network traffic, based on a set of predefined security rules.
TYPES AND APPLICATION OF NETWORK
A network is a collection or set of computing devices connected to one another to
establish communication and also share available resources.

There are 2 types of network applications:


1. Pure network applications
2. Standalone network application
(A)Pure Network Applications

These are applications created to be used in networks; using pure network applications
on a single computer doesn't make sense. They help us to transfer data and communicate
within a network. Such applications have a separate and distinct user interface that users
must learn. Here are some examples.

1. Email Programs
These allow users to type messages at their local nodes and then send them to someone on the
network.
It is a fast and easy way of transferring mail from one computer to another. Examples of
electronic mail programs (clients) are:
• Pegasus Mail
• Outlook express Outlook Express
• Eudora Windows
• mail
• Fox mail
• Opera
• Poco mail
• MozillaThunderbird
• Windows mail

2. File Transfer Protocol (FTP)


This application facilitates the transfer of files from one computer to another, e.g., from a client to
a server. There are two common processes involved in FTP

Downloading:
This is the process of obtaining files from a server to a workstation or a client (for example when
you download programs and music from a server).

Uploading:
This is obtaining of files from a workstation to a server (for instance when you attach documents
and upload them to a server, a good example being when you upload photos to Facebook).

(B) Stand Alone Applications

These are applications that run on stand-alone computers (computers not


connected to any other). In order to extend their activity, they are rebuilt
to run on network environments, e.g., word processors, spreadsheets,
and database management systems. They function even when the
computer is offline.
NETWORK TOPOLOGIES

The arrangement of a
network that comprises
nodes and connecting
lines via sender and
receiver is referred to as
network topology.
