EXPLORE THE NETWORK
How host devices can be used as clients , server and both
-
Client
network that requests resources or services
from another computer on a network.
a client could also act as a server. The term client may also refer
to the human user
Server
A computer on the network that manages shared resources
it have more processing power, memory, and hard disk space
than clients.
operating software that can manage not only data, but also users, groups, security, and applications on the network.
Workstation
A personal computer (such as a desktop or laptop), which may not connected to a network; most clients are workstation computers.
-
-
-
Node
A client, server, or other device that can communicate over a network and that is identified by a unique number, known as its network address
Connectivity Devices
A specialized device that allows multiple networks or multiple
parts of one network to connect and exchange data
Backbone
-
• A backbone is sometimes referred to as “a network of networks” because of its role in interconnecting smaller parts of a LAN or WAN.
Segment
A part of a network. Usually, a segment is composed of a group of nodes that use the same communications channel for all their traffic
Topology
The physical layout of a computer network. Topologies vary according to the needs of organization available hardware and expertise
-
-
Transmissions Media
The means through which data are transmitted
and received.Transmission media may be physical,
such as wire or cable,
or atmospheric (wireless), such as radio waves.

Definition
-
“A number of computers connected together for the purposes of communication of processing” – Knott, Waites and Callaghan, Comp. Studies
“A network is a set of devices (nodes) connected by media links” – Forouzan, Data Communications and Networking
a group of computers and other devices (such as
printers) that are connected by some type of transmission media
-
communicate through copper wires, fiber-optic cable,
or radio waves as transmission media.

Network Protocols
Are you able to read the paragraph that does not follow commonly accepted protocols? if no protocols or rules existed to govern how people communicate with each other
Networking protocols define a common format and set of rules for exchanging messages between devices
-
-
Copper Media
-
data travels on copper cables as small pulses of electrical voltage cause it easily distorted by outside noise and signal attenuation
cable type with shielding or twisting of the pairs of wires are designed to minimize signal degradation
-
Protocol Interaction
-
-
IP
Enncapsulates the TCP segments into packets, assigns addresses, and delivers to the destination host
-

-
-
-
-
◦ IP – encapsulates the TCP segments into packets, assigns addresses, and delivers to the destination host.
◦ Ethernet - allows communication over a data link and the physical transmission of data on the network media.
-
-
◦ ARPANET was funded by the U.S. Department of Defense for use by universities and research laboratories
-
-
◦ IP source and destination addresses are added, creating an IP Packet.
◦ The Ethernet information is then added creating the Ethernet Frame, or data link frame.
