A Computer Network
• What is a network?– A system of two or more computing devices
that are linked together.
• Why are networks useful?– Share information (e.g. databases, software,
other data)– Share peripherals (e.g. printers)– Share access (e.g. internet)– Allow people to work together

Terminology
• Node: Any device on the network such as computers or peripherals (printers, routers, etc) is called a node.
• Nodes are typically connected to hubs (or sometimes switches).– Think of how you get your electronics on the electrical
“network” by plugging them into an outlet. – Similarly, to get devices onto a network, you need to
plug them into the network. Frequently this is done by connecting the node to a hub.

A Hub
Ethernet cable
![Page 9: Networking & Connectivity Mendelsohn. A Computer Network What is a network? –A system of two or more computing devices that are linked together. Why are](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032522/56649d625503460f94a451ad/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
A network can be as simple as two computers connectedto each other
• Most networks involve at least a few computers frequently with some peripherals (printer).• With multiple computers, the nodes need to be plugged into a hub.

Home networks
• Most people create a home network for the purpose of sharing an internet connection.
• However it is also possible to share peripherals such as scanners and printers.

Connecting a device to the network
• Wired– Various types of cabling are available
• Wireless– Requires the use of a shared or agreed-upon
standard such as WiFi
![Page 13: Networking & Connectivity Mendelsohn. A Computer Network What is a network? –A system of two or more computing devices that are linked together. Why are](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032522/56649d625503460f94a451ad/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Twisted Pair (shielded, unshielded)
• Coaxial
• Fiber-Optic
Wired – Types of Cables
![Page 14: Networking & Connectivity Mendelsohn. A Computer Network What is a network? –A system of two or more computing devices that are linked together. Why are](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032522/56649d625503460f94a451ad/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Modems• One wired method of connecting to a network
– Increasingly obselete
• Networks such as telephone systems use analog signals (as opposed to digital)
• Before a computer can work with the data, it has to be “translated” into digital
• The process of converting an analog signal to digital is called MO-dulation.
• Converting digital to analog is called DEM-odulation.
• These days, modems are becoming less common as most people are networked digitally.– They don’t have to “dial in” using a telephone line.
![Page 15: Networking & Connectivity Mendelsohn. A Computer Network What is a network? –A system of two or more computing devices that are linked together. Why are](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032522/56649d625503460f94a451ad/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Bandwidth• If your online experience seems slow and jerky—
particularly when dealing with multimedia (audio, video), your problem is likely a question of bandwidth.
• When talking about internet connections, bandwidth refers to the quantity of data that can be transferred from an ISP to your PC in a given period of time (e.g. each second).
• These days, is typically measured in megabits per second (mps).
![Page 16: Networking & Connectivity Mendelsohn. A Computer Network What is a network? –A system of two or more computing devices that are linked together. Why are](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032522/56649d625503460f94a451ad/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Broadband• Broadband refers to a high-bandwidth connection.
– Typically several mps– That said, there is typically a large difference between your theoretical bandwidth and the actual bandwidth you get at home.
• Types of broadband:– DSL: uses standard phone lines – therefore, widely available– Cable: requires a cable line (same as TV cable)– Wireless: such as WiFi, Satellite, Infrared, Bluetooth– Fiber-Optic: far faster than any other technology. However, fiber-
optic wiring is still only available in a small number of locations.• 1 FO cable can transmit the equivalent of 10,000 copper (e.g. cable) cables

Broadband Penetration Worldwide
![Page 18: Networking & Connectivity Mendelsohn. A Computer Network What is a network? –A system of two or more computing devices that are linked together. Why are](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032522/56649d625503460f94a451ad/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Wireless Technologies/Standards
• In terms of connectivity, wireless technologies include Satellite, Infrared, WiFi, Bluetooth, and others
![Page 19: Networking & Connectivity Mendelsohn. A Computer Network What is a network? –A system of two or more computing devices that are linked together. Why are](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032522/56649d625503460f94a451ad/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
WiFi (IEEE 802.11)• More and more people every day are connecting to networks
such as the internet using WiFi• Not surprisingly, WiFi is the fastest growing networking
technology.• The IEEE standard is known as 802.11
– Versions: 802.11a, 802.b, 802.11g, 802.11n– These versions have varying ranges and speeds
• Speed ranges from 10 mps to 100+ depending on the version (Version ‘n’ is the fastest, ‘b’ is the slowest)
• Very limited range: about 30 meters. – Version ‘n’ has a greater range – but still measured in meters
• Not as fast as Ethernet, but still quite fast and good enough for multimedia networking
![Page 20: Networking & Connectivity Mendelsohn. A Computer Network What is a network? –A system of two or more computing devices that are linked together. Why are](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032522/56649d625503460f94a451ad/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
WiMax (802.16a)
• A new wireless standard
• WiMax towers have a range covering about a 25 square mile area
![Page 21: Networking & Connectivity Mendelsohn. A Computer Network What is a network? –A system of two or more computing devices that are linked together. Why are](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032522/56649d625503460f94a451ad/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Broadband Comparison
![Page 22: Networking & Connectivity Mendelsohn. A Computer Network What is a network? –A system of two or more computing devices that are linked together. Why are](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032522/56649d625503460f94a451ad/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Bluetooth (IEEE 802.15)• Another wireless standard• Very low range (about 10 m)• Low bandwidth (about 1-3 mps
in practice)• Costs less – therefore popular
with manufacturers• Given low range and
bandwidth, not widely used for network connectivity
• Much more popular for wirelessly connecting two devices together– provided they are in close
proximity

Connecting a PC to a Network
• Wired– Requires a network
adapter or “network interface card” (NIC)
• Wireless– Requires a wireless
network adapter
![Page 25: Networking & Connectivity Mendelsohn. A Computer Network What is a network? –A system of two or more computing devices that are linked together. Why are](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032522/56649d625503460f94a451ad/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
A typical home cable/DSL broadband connection1. Pre-existing cable wires are
extended to the interior of your home.
• This cabling may already be in place (e.g. if you have cable TV)
2. Your internet service provider (ISP) provides a cable or DSL “modem” that establishes the connection between the cable wiring and the internet.
3. The cable/DSL modem is typically connected either directly to a PC or sometimes to a wireless router.
4. If a wireless router is in place, the internet signal to and from the wireless router is broadcast throughout the home.

Classifying networks
• By Distance (LAN, WAN), Relationship (e.g. client-server), Protocol (e.g. TCP/IP)
Copyright 2008 M J Davidson
![Page 28: Networking & Connectivity Mendelsohn. A Computer Network What is a network? –A system of two or more computing devices that are linked together. Why are](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032522/56649d625503460f94a451ad/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Classify by Distance• PAN – personal
– E.g. a home network: • sharing one internet connection• sharing a printer
• LAN – local– Usually implies that the networked computers are in the same
building– E.g. a small business
• WAN – wide– A network spanning a wider area such as a city or even larger.– DePaul’s network on several campuses around the Chicagoland area– City-wide networks are sometimes referred to as ‘MAN’s
(metropolitan area networks)

Classify by Protocol
• a set of rules for the exchange of data over a communications channel
• Examples– SNA– TCP/IP
• The internet is classified based on the type of protocol it uses (TCP/IP)– More on this in a later lecture

Wired Communication Ports
– Serial - single bit at a time– Parallel – eight bits at a time– FireWire (IEEE 1394 )– Universal Serial Bus (USB)– Ethernet– VGA– Etc
![Page 32: Networking & Connectivity Mendelsohn. A Computer Network What is a network? –A system of two or more computing devices that are linked together. Why are](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032522/56649d625503460f94a451ad/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Parallel Port
– Parallel – eight bits at a time
• Before USB, was commonly used for printers. Many printers still come with cables to connect to a parallel port.
• Before faster and more efficient ports were developed, was also used for CD ROMs, Zip drives, etc
![Page 33: Networking & Connectivity Mendelsohn. A Computer Network What is a network? –A system of two or more computing devices that are linked together. Why are](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032522/56649d625503460f94a451ad/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
VGA Port
• These days, pretty much exclusively limited to connecting a monitor to a PC.
![Page 34: Networking & Connectivity Mendelsohn. A Computer Network What is a network? –A system of two or more computing devices that are linked together. Why are](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032522/56649d625503460f94a451ad/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
USB Port
– USB Universal Serial Bus• 1.0 (11 Mbps) or• 2.0 (480Mbps) - the current standard
– Developed to replace connections that previously were limited to serial or parallel ports.
• Printers• Keyboard• Mice• You name it….

IEEE 1394 (Firewire, i.Link)
– High-speed communications– Brand names:
• Firewire (Apple)• i.Link (Sony)
– Fast!– Popular uses: Devices that
require speedy transfer • external hard drives• Camcorders (transfer of large
data devices from camera to PC)
![Page 36: Networking & Connectivity Mendelsohn. A Computer Network What is a network? –A system of two or more computing devices that are linked together. Why are](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022032522/56649d625503460f94a451ad/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Ethernet Port• Ethernet wiring is far and away the
most popular (wired) method of connecting a computer to a network
• Pros:– Faster than wireless– More reliable than wireless– Easier to set up
• Cons– Wired!
