Computer network?
• A Computer networking refers to interconnected computing
devices that can exchange data and share resources with each other.
• Resources like printers, files, emails, audio or video conferencing
etc.
• A typical network look like this:-

NETWORK Criteria...
• A network must meet certian number of criteria.
• Performance : Transit Time , Response Time, Throughput, Bandwidth, Delay/ Latency
etc.
• Transit time: The total time a node takes to transmit a message from the beginning until
the last character of the message. Transit stands for Transmission.
• Response time: The total time a node takes to process an inquiry or a request from another
node/ device and respond. It is the time between the inquiry's end and the response's
beginning.
• Throughput: Throughput measures how much data is transferred successfully from the
sender node to the receiver node in a particular time frame. It is measured in bits per
second or data per second.
• Bandwidth: The maximum possible throughput capacity of the Network. We can measure
it in bits, megabits, or gigabits per second. It defines the highest limit.
• Delay/ Latency: As we discussed, Throughput is the number of data packets successfully
delivered in a given time. Delay is the measure of time taken to do the delivery.

• Reliability : It is the degree to which a network is trustworthy,
consistent, and dependable. The Reliability of a network is
measured by the frequency of failures it is undergoing and the time
it takes to recover from the failures.

Drawbacks of NETWORK
• High Installation Cost: It is expensive to setup and Deploy a
network. Only a trained person can manage a large network and its
maintenance is also costly.
• Risk of Hacking: A computer network is susceptible to virus
attacks and can be hacked.
