Network switch
A LAN switch is a network device that connects devices within a Local Area Network (LAN) and facilitates
communication between them. Unlike a hub, which broadcasts data to all connected devices, a switch
intelligently forwards data only to the device that needs it, based on the device's MAC (Media Access Control)
address.

Key Functions of a LAN Switch:

Data Forwarding: Switches receive data frames and forward them to the correct destination device within the
network, improving efficiency and reducing unnecessary traffic.

Full-Duplex Communication: LAN switches allow for simultaneous two-way data transfer between devices,
enhancing network performance.

Segmentation: Switches divide a network into smaller, manageable segments, reducing congestion and
collisions by ensuring that data is sent only to the intended segment.

VLAN Support: Some switches support Virtual LANs (VLANs), allowing network administrators to segment the
network logically, improving security and performance.

LAN switches are commonly used in offices, data centers, and other environments where multiple devices need
to communicate efficiently within a network.
Router
A router is a network device that directs data packets between different networks, ensuring
that the information reaches its correct destination. It operates at the network layer (Layer 3)
of the OSI model and uses IP addresses to determine the best path for data to travel.

Key Functions of a Router:

Traffic Routing: Routers analyze the destination IP address of each data packet and decide the
optimal route for the packet to take.

Connecting Networks: Routers connect different networks, such as connecting a Local Area
Network (LAN) to a Wide Area Network (WAN) or the Internet. Network

Address Translation (NAT): Routers can translate private IP addresses to a public IP address,
allowing multiple devices on a LAN to share a single public IP address.

Security: Many routers include built-in firewalls and other security features to protect the
network from external threats.

E-business (Electronic Business)
v/s E-commerce (Electronic
Commerce)
E-business (Electronic Business) and E-commerce (Electronic Commerce) are closely related but distinct
concepts in the digital economy. Here’s a breakdown of their differences:

E-Business: It refers to all aspects of running a business online. This includes not only buying and selling of
goods and services but also servicing customers, collaborating with business partners, conducting internal
processes (e.g., managing production, inventory, risk management), and using information technology to
improve business processes.

Examples: Online supply chain management, customer relationship management (CRM) systems, enterprise
resource planning (ERP) systems, and online collaboration tools. IBM, for example, shifted its focus from just
selling computers to becoming a complete e-business provider. E-Commerce:

• Scope: E-commerce is a subset of e-business. It specifically refers to the transaction of goods


and services over the internet. It includes activities like online shopping, electronic payments,
online auctions, and internet banking.

• Examples: Websites like Amazon, eBay, and Shopify, where users can browse products and make
purchases directly online.
E-business (Electronic Business)
v/s E-commerce (Electronic
Commerce)
Key Differences:

Scope: E-commerce is focused solely on transactions; e-business


encompasses all aspects of running a business online.

Processes: E-business involves a broader range of business processes


beyond transactions, including supply chain management, CRM, and
other business operations.

Technology Integration: E-business may involve more complex


technology integration across different parts of a business, whereas e-
commerce primarily deals with the systems needed for online sales.
M-commerce (Mobile
Commerce) and E-commerce
(Electronic Commerce)
M-commerce (Mobile Commerce) and E-commerce (Electronic Commerce) are both
forms of online commerce, but they differ mainly in the platform used and their scope:

E-commerce:
• Definition: E-commerce refers to the buying and selling of goods and services over the
internet, typically using desktop or laptop computers.
• Platform: Primarily conducted through websites accessed via browsers on desktop or
laptop computers.
• User Experience: Generally involves larger screens, more detailed product displays, and a
broader range of functionalities like comparisons, reviews, and payment options.
• Examples: Amazon (desktop site), eBay (desktop site), Walmart’s online store.
Commerce) v/s E-
commerce (Electronic
Commerce)
M-commerce:
•Definition: M-commerce (Mobile Commerce) is a subset of e-commerce that specifically
involves transactions made through mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets.
•Platform: Conducted through mobile-optimized websites, apps, and even through SMS
or other mobile services.
•User Experience: Designed for smaller screens with a focus on simplicity, speed, and
ease of use. Often includes features like one-click payments, location-based services,
and push notifications.
•Examples: Shopping through mobile apps like the Amazon app, or using mobile
payment systems like Apple Pay, Google Wallet.
