INTRODUCTION

Computer Network:
A computer network is a group of
interconnected computers that can
communicate, share resources, and
exchange data.
Importance of Networks:
Networks enable faster data exchange,
efficient resource sharing, and are
essential for communication in various
fields, from businesses to personal use.

2
TYPES OF NETWORKS
• Local Area Network(LAN):
Covers a small geographic area,
like a home, school, or office.
• Wide Area Network(WAN):
Spans large geographic areas,
such as cities or countries.
• Metropolitan Area
Network(MAN):
Covers a city or campus, larger
than a LAN but smaller than a
WAN.
• Personal Area Network (PAN):
Used for short-range personal
communication.
NETWORK
TOPOLOGIES
• Star Topology:
All nodes connect to a central hub
• Ring Topology:
Devices form a circular network
path
• Mesh Topology:
Every device connects to multiple
others.
• Bus Topology:
All devices share a single
communication line.

PROTOCOLS AND
COMMUNICATION
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol):
Facilitates reliable internet communication.
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)
Transfers web pages over the internet.
When we access websites via browsers.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol):
Transfers files between a client and server.
HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure):
Secure version of HTTP for safe data transmission.

CASE STUDY: SMALL
BUSINESS LAN

• A small company uses a LAN to connect 10 computers in


their office
• Each computer connects to a central server to share files
and printers.
Benefits:
• Centralized Data Storage.
• Quick communication between employees.
• Reduced internet costs by sharing a single connection.

6
CONCLUSION
•Types of networks enable
communication at different scales.
•Network topologies define the layout
and reliability
•Protocols ensure smooth and secure
data transmission
