Introduction to Computer
Networks
• Computer networks allow devices to
communicate and share resources. • They consist of hardware and software components. • Examples: LAN, WAN, MAN, and PAN. Network Topologies
• Bus, Star, Ring, Mesh, and Hybrid topologies.
• Each has advantages and disadvantages. • Topology impacts performance and reliability. OSI Model
• 7 layers: Physical, Data Link, Network,
Transport, Session, Presentation, Application. • Helps standardize network functions. • Each layer has specific responsibilities. IP Addressing and Protocols
• IPv4 and IPv6 address formats.
• Common protocols: TCP, UDP, HTTP, FTP, SMTP. • DNS translates domain names to IP addresses. Network Security
