.Network Topology
star network: A network in which all network devices
connect to one another through a single central device
.called the hub node
A failure in any link of the star network will isolate only the •
device connected to that link. However, should the hub fail,
all devices on the entire network will be unable to
.communicate

bus network: A network in which all network devices are


connected to a common backbone that serves as a shared
.communications medium
To communicate with any other device on the network, a device •
sends a broadcast message onto the communications medium.
All devices on the network can “see” the message, but only the
.intended recipient actually accepts and processes the message

mesh network: A network that uses multiple access points


to link a series of devices that speak to each other to
.form a network connection across a large area
Mesh networks are very robust: if one node fails, all the other •
nodes can still communicate with each other, directly or
.Network Types
wide area network (WAN): A network that
.connects large geographic regions
WANs often provide communications across national borders, which •
involves national and international laws regulating the electronic
fl ow of data across international boundaries, often called
transborder data fl ow

local area network (LAN): A network that connects


computer systems and devices within a small area,
such as an offi ce, home, or several fl oors in a
.building
A basic type of LAN is a simple peer-to-peer network that a small •
business might use to share files and hardware devices, such as
printers

metropolitan area network (MAN): A network that


connects users and their computers in a geographical
.area that spans a campus or city
MAN might redefi ne the many networks within a city into a single •
.larger network or connect several LANs into a single campus MAN

personal area network (PAN): A network that supports


the interconnection of information technology devices
.Communication media
.Internet

The Internet, also called the Net, is a global


computer network made up of thousands
of privately and publicly owned computers
and networks that grew and interlinked,
over time, into one giant network. In short,
.the Internet is a network of networks
.Web technology

Web Technology refers to the various tools and


techniques that are utilized in the process of
communication between diff erent types of devices
over the internet. A web browser is used to access
web pages. Web browsers can be defi ned as
programs that display text, data, pictures,
.animation, and video on the Internet
.How to access internet

Accessing the Internet


You can connect to the Internet in numerous ways. Which
access method you choose is determined by the size
and capability of your organization or system, your
.budget, and the services available to you
Connecting via a LAN Server
This approach is used by businesses and organizations
that manage a local area network (LAN). By connecting a
server on the LAN to the Internet using a router, all users
on the LAN are provided access to the Internet. Business
LAN servers are typically connected to the Internet at
.very fast data rates, sometimes in the hundreds of Mbps
Connecting via Internet Service Providers
Companies and residences unable to connect directly to
the Internet through a LAN server must access the
Internet through an Internet service provider. An
Internet service provider (ISP) is any organization that
.provides Internet access to people

through wired systems such as phone lines
and fi ber optic cables, wireless Internet
service over cellular and Wi-Fi networks
