Computer Networking Report

Introduction

Computer networking refers to the process of connecting multiple devices to share resources, exchange
data, and communicate. This report will cover the basics of computer networking, types of networks,
and the importance of networking in today's digital age.

Types of Networks

1. LAN (Local Area Network): A LAN connects devices in a limited geographical area, such as a home,
office building, or campus.

2. WAN (Wide Area Network): A WAN connects devices over a larger geographical area, such as a city or
country.

3. WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network): A WLAN connects devices wirelessly, using radio waves or
infrared signals.

Networking Devices

1. Router: A router connects multiple networks and routes traffic between them.

2. Switch: A switch connects multiple devices within a network and forwards data packets.

3. Hub: A hub connects multiple devices within a network, but does not perform any routing or
switching functions.

Networking Protocols
1. TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol): TCP/IP is a suite of protocols that governs
data communication over the internet.

2. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol): HTTP is a protocol used for transferring data over the web.

Importance of Networking

1. Resource Sharing: Networking enables devices to share resources, such as files, printers, and internet
connections.

2. Communication: Networking enables devices to communicate with each other, facilitating email,
instant messaging, and video conferencing.

3. Data Exchange: Networking enables devices to exchange data, facilitating online transactions, data
transfer, and cloud computing.

Conclusion

Computer networking is a vital component of modern computing, enabling devices to communicate,


share resources, and exchange data. Understanding the basics of networking is essential for building and
maintaining efficient, secure, and reliable networks.
