Computer Networks
Computer network connects two ormore autonomous computers.The computers can be geographicallylocated anywhere.
Two or more than two computersystems connected by means of acommunication medium like cablesis termed as a Network.Computer Network is acommunication systems, which linkscomputers and their resources.
Computer Resources are storagedevices e.g. HDD, tape drive,CDROM, MODEM,RDBMS likeOracle, MS-SQL etc and any othercomputing system (Mainframe,Minicomputer etc.).

The network topology defines the way in which computers,printers, and other devices are connected.
A network topology describes the physical layout of the wireand devices as well as the paths used by data transmissions.The choice of the networks topology for installing a computernetwork depends upon a combination of factors, such as:
The desired performance of the system.
The desired reliability of the system.
Size of the system.
Expandability of the system.
Availability of communication lines.
Delays involved in routing information from one node toanother.

Bus Topology
The bus topology refers to a linear arrangement ofcomputers that are connected together by a single
cable referred to as the trunk or backbone. It is
often used when a network installation is small,
simple or temporary.
-

5/72
Advantages:
Simple,Reliable,Easy to use and understand.Least amount of cable to connect acomputers.
Easy to extend a bus with the help of arepeater.
Disadvantages
If the cable is broken from the middle the entirenetwork collapses
If the bus is long then packets may be lost.

The star topology is the most
commonly used architecture inEthernet LANs.
When installed, the star topologyresembles spokes in a bicyclewheel.
Larger networks use the extendedstar topology also called treetopology.
When used with network devices
that filter frames or packets, likebridges, switches, and routers, thistopology significantly reduces thetraffic on the wires by sendingpackets only to the wires of thedestination host.

Advantages:
Good PerformanceEasy to set up and to expand.
Any non-centralized failure will have verylittle effect on the network, whereas on a
ring network it would all fail with one fault.
Disadvantages:Expensive to install
Extra hardware requiredIf the host computer fails the entire system isaffected.

A frame travels around the ring,stopping at each node. If a node wantsto transmit data, it adds the data aswell as the destination address to theframe.
The frame then continues around thering until it finds the destination node,which takes the data out of the frame.
Single ring All the devices on the
network share a single cable
Dual ring The dual ring topologyallows data to be sent in bothdirections.
Ring Topology
-
7/31/2019 Computer Networks2003
9/72
Advantages:
Data is quickly transferred without a bottle neck.(very fast, all data traffic is in the same direction)
The transmission of data is simple as packets travel inone direction only.Adding additional nodes has very little impact onbandwidthIt prevents network collisions because of the mediaaccess method or architecture required.
Disadvantages:Data packets must pass through every computerbetween the sender and recipient therefore this makesit slower.
If any of the nodes fail then the ring is broken anddata cannot be transmitted successfully.It is difficult to troubleshoot the ring.Because all stations are wired together, to add a stationyou must shut down the network temporarily.In order for all computers to communicate with each
other, all computers must be turned on.

Token Ring TopologyA token ring is a type of computer network in which all thecomputers are arranged (schematically) in a circle. A token,
which is a special bit pattern, travels around the circle. Tosend a message, a computer catches the token, attaches amessage to it, and then lets it continue to travel around thenetwork.
Although it is considered a more reliablesystem, a token ring network is slower and offers lessflexibility than schools and other businesses need. In a tokenring, only one computer may send information at a time.

The mesh topologyconnects all devices(nodes) to each other forredundancy and faulttolerance.
It is used in WANs tointerconnect LANs and formission critical networkslike those used by banksand financial institutions.
Implementing the meshtopology is expensive anddifficult.

Network in a City is call MAN
Networks that share some of the characteristics of both
LANs and WANs are sometimes referred to as MAN.
The MANs usually cover a wider geographic area than LANs.
The main objective of MANs is to interconnect LANs located
in a entire city or metropolitan area.

Network in a home is called as HAN
ALSO CALLED: Home Networks, Home Networking, HAN,Digital Home Networks, and Digital Home Networking
A home network allows computer owners to interconnectmultiple computers so that each can share files, programs,printers, other peripheral devices, and Internet access withother computers, reducing the need for redundantequipment and, in general, making everything easier to use.
A new trend, sometimes referred to as an intelligentnetwork, extends the home network to include controls forthe home ambient environment, security systems, andkitchen devices which in future will be controlled remotely.

Hybrid Networks: Wired vs. WirelessWired Network Wireless Network
Fast Slow
Stationary Mobile
Flexibility depends on the wired length Flexibility
Only the devices connected can access Wider devices can access, e.g. PDA
Expensive to set up Cheaper to set up
Difficult to set up Easier to setup
Troubleshooting is difficult Troubleshooting is easier
More Secure Less Secure
Gaming, Share Files Streaming audio and video files
A hybrid network offers the best of both in terms of speed, mobility, affordability andsecurity.If a user needs maximum Internet speed, then he can plug into the network viaEthernet cable. If he needs to use internet in the hallway, he can access the networkwirelessly.With the right planning, an organisation can save money on Ethernet cable.With the right encryption and password management , the wireless portion of the
network can be made secure.

Virtual Private Network, is a network that is constructed byusing public wires to connect nodes.
For example, there are a number of systems that enable youto create networks using the Internet as the medium fortransporting data.
These systems use encryption and other securitymechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can accessthe network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
The connection is virtual since it is only temporary, it iscreated when information needs to be transmitted
A VPN is an extranet, but not every extranet is a VPN

In this structure there is one computer or
workstation assigned as a server or master and thatprovides services or controls the other workstationsor clients.
There are 2 types
Master/Slave
Client/Server
Master SlaveMaster/slave is a model for a communication protocol inwhich one device or process (known as the master)controls one or more other devices or processes (knownas slaves).
Once the master/slave relationship is established, thedirection of control is always from the master to theslave(s).
Some manufacturers prefer the term primary/secondary.

Client/server describes the relationship betweentwo computer programs in which one program, the
client, makes a service request from anotherprogram, the server, which fulfills the request.
In a network, this model provides a convenient wayto interconnect programs that are distributedefficiently across different locations.
In the Internet, your Web browser is a clientprogram that requests services (the sending of Web
pages or files) from a Web server in anothercomputer somewhere on the Internet.
The server contains the file, print, application,security, and other services in a central computerthat is continuously available to respond to clientrequests.
For example, to check your bank account from your
computer, a client program in your computerforwards your request to a server program at thebank. That program may in turn forward the requestto its own client program that sends a request to adatabase server at another bank computer toretrieve your account balance. The balance isreturned back to the bank data client, which in turn
serves it back to the client in your personalcomputer, which displays the information for you.

Peer-to-peer is a communications model inwhich each party has the same capabilities
and either party can initiate a communicationsession.
In some cases, P2P communications isimplemented by giving each communicationnode both server and client capabilities.
In recent usage, P2P has come to describe
applications in which users can use theInternet to exchange files with each otherdirectly or through a mediating server.
On the Internet, P2P is a type of transientnetwork that allows a group of computerusers with the same software to connect witheach other and directly access files from one
another's hard drives. E.g Napster, Limewire
Corporations are looking at the advantages ofusing P2P as a way for employees to sharefiles without the expense involved inmaintaining a centralized server and as a wayfor businesses to exchange information witheach other directly.

How Does Internet P2P Work?
The user must first download and execute a peer-to-peer networking program.
After launching the program, the user enters the IPaddress of another computer belonging to thenetwork.Once the computer finds another network memberon-line, it will connect to that user's connection (whohas gotten their IP address from another user'sconnection and so on).
Users can choose how many member connections toseek at one time and determine which files they wishto share or password protect.

A network interface card (NIC) is a
computer circuit board or card that isinstalled in a computer so that it can beconnected to a network.
Each computer MUST have one of these.
It is the component that uniquelyidentifies the client or the server.
Personal computers and workstations ona local area network (LAN) typicallycontain a NIC specifically designed for the
LAN transmission technology, such asEthernet or Token Ring.
NIC provide a dedicated, full-timeconnection to a network.

A hub is the central part of a star topology
The term is similar to airport "hubs" to make connecting flights fromone point to another.
In data communications, a hub is a place of convergence where dataarrives from one or more directions and is forwarded out in one or more
other directions.
A hub usually includes a switch of some kind. (And a product that iscalled a "switch" could usually be considered a hub as well.)
A hub can also include a router.
A hub may include a group of modem cards for dial-in users, a gatewaycard for connections to a local area network (for example, an Ethernetor a Token Ring), and a connection to a line (the main line in thisexample).

A bridge is a device that connects one local area network (LAN) to another localarea network that uses the same protocol (for example, Ethernet or Token Ring).
If a data unit on one LAN is intended for a destination on an interconnected LAN,the bridge forwards the data unit to that LAN; otherwise, it passes it along onthe same LAN.
A bridge usually offers only one path to a given interconnected LAN.
In bridging networks, computer or node addresses have no specific relationshipto location. For this reason, messages are sent out to every address on thenetwork and accepted only by the intended destination node.
Bridges learn which addresses are on which network and develop a learningtable so that subsequent messages can be forwarded to the right network.
Drawback: Bridging networks are generally always interconnected local areanetworks since broadcasting every message to all possible destinations wouldflood a larger network with unnecessary traffic.
A bridge is sometimes combined with a router in a product called a brouter.

A switch is a single connection point for a group of computers.
A switch is a device that channels incoming data from any ofmultiple input ports to the specific output port that will takethe data toward its intended destination.
On a LAN, it determines from the physical device address ineach incoming message frame which output port to forward itto and out of.
In case of the Internet, a switch determines from the IPaddress in each packet which output port to use for the nextpart of its trip to the intended destination.
In the simplest networks, a switch is not required formessages that are sent and received within the network.

A device that forwards data packets along networks.
A router is connected to at least two networks, commonlytwo LANs or WANs or a LAN and its ISPs network anddecides which way to send each information packet basedon its current understanding of the state of the networks itis connected to. .
Routers are located at gateways, the places where two ormore networks connect.
Routers choose the best route for data, based on the info inrouting table, out of a number of paths out to destinationson the various connected networks.
Very little filtering of data is done through routers.
Routers

They are used for connecting networks that are built on totallydifferent communication architectures.
Definition: A node on a network that serves as an entrance toanother network.
In enterprises, the gateway is the computer that routes the trafficfrom a workstation to the outside network that is serving the Webpages. Also acts as a proxy server and a firewall.
In homes, the gateway is the ISP that connects the user to theinternet.
It also connects a computer system located on earth that switchesdata signals and voice signals between satellites and terrestrialnetworks.
An earlier term for router, though now obsolete in this sense as
router is commonly used.

Definition
The standard local area network (LAN) access method. Areference to "LAN," "LAN connection" or "network card"automatically implies Ethernet.
Most new computers come network ready with Ethernet builtin. For machines without a network connection, Ethernet
adapters can be added via USB or PC Card or by plugging anEthernet card into a free PCI bus slot inside the case.
A 10/100 Ethernet port supports two speeds: 10 Mbps (10Base-T or Ethernet) and 100 Mbps (100Base-T or Fast Ethernet).
Computers also come with 10/100/1000 ports, which includes
Gigabit Ethernet at 1 Gbps (1,000 megabits).Ethernet devices negotiate with each other and transmit at thehighest speed possible. For high-speed backbones inmetropolitan and wide area networks, 10 Gigabit Ethernet(10,000 megabits), the fastest Ethernet, is also used (see 10Gigabit Ethernet).

The term protocol is used to refer to a set of rules and
conventions needed for communication betweencommunicating parties.
Computer networks are implemented using the concept oflayered protocols.
A protocol provides a service
For e.g. the post office protocol for reliable parcel transfer servicePeer entities use a protocol to provide a service to a higher-level peer entity
for e.g., truck drivers use a protocol to present post offices with theabstraction of an unreliable parcel transfer service
