This document provides an overview of computer networking. It defines a computer network as interconnecting computers to share hardware, software, and data through communication mediums. There are several types of networks including local area networks (LANs) spanning 10 km, metropolitan area networks (MANs) spanning less than 50 km, and wide area networks (WANs) with no distance limit. Network topologies describe the physical layout of connected devices and include star, ring, bus, mesh, tree, and hybrid configurations. Computer networks provide advantages like resource sharing, remote access, and reduced costs. However, they also face issues like unauthorized access and viruses that require solutions such as user identification, encryption, and antivirus software.

COMPUTER NETWORKING

What We KnowToday?

INTRODUCTION :
Computer network is an interconnection of various computers to share software, hardware and data through a communication medium between them.

Technically Definition : Two computers are said to be interconnected if they are able to exchange information through transmission media like COXIAL CABLES,FIBRE OPTIC,MICROWAVES,SATELLITES etc

Note :
Any type of data can be send ie text,picture,audio and video etc..

Need for networking

Need for networking :


1. To share computer files. 2. To share computer equipments. 3. To reduce cost of data transfer. 4. High reliablility. 5. Group working.

Advantages of computer networking :

Advantages of computer network :


Computer network provides several important benefits To both : 1. Organization. 2. Individual users.

1. Resource sharing. 2.Simulataneous Access. 3.Reduced cost. 4.Easier backup. 5.High reliabilty.

Advantages for organization :

Advantages for people :


1.Acess to remote information. 2.Person to Person communication. 3.Interactive Demand.

Types of Computer Network :


There are three types of computer networks : 1. LocaL Area Network. 2. Metropolitian Area Network. 3. Wide Area Network.

LocaL Area Network.


It is realtively a very small network with maximum span of 10 km to provide local connectivity within a building or small geographical area. They are widely used to connect personal computers and workstations in offices.

Metropolitian Area Network.


1. MAN isdefined for less than 50 km and provide regional connectivity typically within a campus or small geographical area. 2. A company can use a MAN to connect to the LANs in all of its offices through out a city..

Wide Area Network


1. WAN provides no limit of distance. A WAN provides long distance transmission of data,voice,image over large geographical area that may compromise a country or even the whole world. 2. Railway,Airlines and Banking companies uses such network.

NETWORK TOPOLOGIES :
The physical arrangement of computers in a network is called as TOPOLOGY.

VARIOUS TOPOLOGIES ARE :


STAR TOPOLOGY RING TOPOLOGY BUS TOPOLOGY MESH TOPOLOGY TREE TOPOLOGY HYBRID TOPOLOGY

STAR TOPOLOGY
Here ,every PC on the network is connected to a central controller,called HUB. It is the topology upon which our telephone network is built.

RING TOPOLOGY
Ring topology avoids the dependence on central computer.Each node on ring can send a message to other terminal with a unique address.

BUS TOPOLOGY
In it, a single cable acts as a backbone of the network and all the nodes are attached to it by using T connectors.

MESH TOPOLOGY
In this, all nodes are directly connected to each other.It is a complexity connected network wiyh a separate physical link for connecting each node to the other.

TREE TOPOLOGY
In this,all nodes are connected in a hierarchical fashion and requires information to flow through the branches.

By the term hierarchical we mean that the data travels level by level.

HYBRID TOPOLOGY
Any hybrid topology is simply a combination of two or more then two topologies. In some cases,this topology mayhave components of star,ring etc.

PROBLEMS :
UNAUTHORISED ACCESS

VIRUSES

SOLUTIONS :
1.UNAUTHORISED ACCESS : # USER IDENTIFICATION CODES # ENCRYPTIONS 2. VIRUSES : #ANTIVIRUSES
