Computer Networks

Computer networks are systems that allow multiple computers and devices to communicate and share resources with each other.

      • Local Area Network (LAN): Connects devices within a limited geographical area, such as a home, office, or campus.
      • Wide Area Network (WAN): Spans a larger geographical area and connects LANs across cities, countries, or continents.
      • Wireless Networks: Use radio waves to connect devices without physical cables, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular networks.
      • Internet: A global network of networks that enables communication and data exchange worldwide.
    1. Network Topologies:

      • Bus: All devices are connected to a single central cable.
      • Star: Devices are connected to a central hub or switch.
      • Ring: Devices are connected in a circular fashion.
      • Mesh: Devices are interconnected with multiple paths for redundancy.
    2. Networking Devices:

      • Router: Connects multiple networks and forwards data packets between them.
      • Switch: Connects devices within a network and forwards data to the intended recipient.
      • Modem: Converts digital data to analog signals for transmission over telephone lines (DSL modem) or cable lines (cable modem).
      • Access Point: Enables wireless devices to connect to a wired network.
    3. Network Protocols:

      • TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is the foundation of the internet and governs data transmission between devices.
      • HTTP/HTTPS: Hypertext Transfer Protocol/Secure governs web page communication.
      • FTP: File Transfer Protocol is used for transferring files over a network.
      • SMTP/POP/IMAP: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol/Post Office Protocol/Internet Message Access Protocol are used for email communication.
    4. Network Security:

      • Firewalls: Monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic to prevent unauthorized access.
      • Encryption: Secures data by encoding it in a way that only authorized parties can access.
      • Virtual Private Network (VPN): Creates a secure, encrypted connection over a public network to protect data transmission.
    5. Network Services:

      • DNS: Domain Name System translates domain names into IP addresses.
      • DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol assigns IP addresses to devices on a network.
      • NTP: Network Time Protocol synchronizes the time on network devices.
    6. Network Architecture:

      • Client-Server: Clients request services or resources from servers.
      • Peer-to-Peer: Devices communicate directly with each other without a central server.
  1. Components of Network Architecture:

    • Nodes: Devices such as computers, servers, routers, switches, and printers that are connected to the network.
    • Links: Physical or logical connections that enable communication between nodes, such as Ethernet cables, wireless connections, or fiber optics.
    • Network Devices: Hardware devices that facilitate network communication, including routers, switches, hubs, access points, and modems.
  2. Network Models:

    • OSI Model: The Open Systems Interconnection model defines seven layers (Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, Application) that govern how data is transmitted between devices in a network.
    • TCP/IP Model: The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol model is a simpler, four-layer model (Network Interface, Internet, Transport, Application) that is widely used in modern networks, including the internet.
  3. Network Topologies:

    • Bus Topology: All devices are connected to a central cable called a bus.
    • Star Topology: Devices are connected to a central hub or switch.
    • Ring Topology: Devices are connected in a circular fashion.
    • Mesh Topology: Devices are interconnected with multiple paths for redundancy.
  4. Network Protocols:

    • TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is the foundation of modern networking and governs data transmission between devices on the internet.
    • Ethernet: A widely used networking technology that defines how data is transmitted over a wired network.
    • Wi-Fi (802.11): Wireless networking standards that enable devices to connect to a network without physical cables.
  5. Network Services:

    • DNS (Domain Name System): Translates domain names into IP addresses to locate resources on the internet.
    • DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): Assigns IP addresses to devices on a network automatically.
    • NAT (Network Address Translation): Translates private IP addresses to public IP addresses for internet communication.
  6. Network Security:

    • Firewalls: Monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic to prevent unauthorized access.
    • Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS): Monitor network traffic for suspicious activity and take action to prevent security breaches.
    • Virtual Private Network (VPN): Creates a secure, encrypted connection over a public network to protect data transmission.
  7. Network Architecture Models:

    • Client-Server Architecture: Clients request services or resources from servers in a centralized model.
    • Peer-to-Peer Architecture: Devices communicate directly with each other without a central server in a decentralized model.
