What is a Network?
• Definition: A group of interconnected devices
that can communicate with each other.
• Why Networks?
• Sharing Resources: Sharing files, printers, and
internet connections.
• Communication: Sending emails, messages,
and video calls.
• Collaboration: Working together on projects
with people in different locations.
Basic Components of a Network
• Devices: Computers, laptops, smartphones,
printers, servers
• Cables: Physical connections between devices
(e.g., Ethernet cables,usb cables )
• Network Interface Cards (NICs): Allow devices
to connect to the network
Network Devices
Routers: Direct traffic between networks
Switches: Connect devices within a network
Types Of Network
• Local Area Network (LAN):
• Connects devices within a limited geographical
area, like a home, office, or school.
• Examples: Home Wi-Fi network, office network.
• 2. Wide Area Network (WAN):
• Connects devices over a large geographical
area, like cities, countries, or continents.
• The internet is the largest WAN.
Network Protocalls
• Think of network protocols as the rules and
grammar that devices on a network follow to
communicate effectively. These protocols
ensure that data is sent, received, and
understood correctly.
TCP/IP
• TCP/IP is the foundation of the internet. It's a set of rules that
computers use to communicate with each other. It's like the
language of the internet.
• IP (Internet Protocol): This is like the address on the envelope.
It tells the computers where to send the data.
• TCP (Transmission Control Protocol): This is like the postal
service. It ensures the letter (data) arrives safely and in the
correct order. It breaks the letter into smaller pieces, sends
them, and reassembles them at the destination.
• Together, TCP and IP make sure your data travels smoothly
across the internet, from your computer to the website you're
visiting or the email you're sending.
HTTP
• HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol. It's the foundation of how
we communicate on the internet. Think of it as the language that web
browsers and servers use to talk to each other.
• When you type a website address (URL) into your browser, here's what
happens:
• Request: Your browser sends an HTTP request to a web server.
• Response: The server receives the request, processes it, and sends an
HTTP response back to your browser. This response contains the
webpage's HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files.
• Display: Your browser interprets the received data and displays the
webpage on your screen.
• This process happens every time you visit a website, making HTTP the
backbone of the internet.
FTP
• FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It's a simple way to transfer files
between computers over a network, like the internet.
• How it works:
• Connect: You use an FTP client (a software program) to connect to an FTP
server.
• Authenticate: You provide a username and password to access the server.
• Transfer: You can then upload files from your computer to the server or
download files from the server to your computer.
• Why use FTP?
• Easy file sharing: It's a straightforward way to share files between computers.
• Remote file access: You can access and manage files on a remote server.
• Website hosting: FTP is often used to upload website files to a web server
