A. OVERVIEW

I. COMPUTER NETWORK

1/ Basic Concepts The term “ networking ” is not an unfamiliar concept to our lives at all, it maybe was in over a decade ago but anymore at the present. With the non-stop development of technology, networking has become an indispensable part of our lives before we even notice. In our daily lives, we have become so used to technology that it seems a natural part of our existence. “How many time do you access to the internet a day?”, “How often do you send or receive messages from your acquaintance?”, I bet the mayor of us can’t bring out the correct answer. Clearly, we know we are using technology when we use our mobile phone or computer, but are largely unaware of exactly how these devices work or how they are connected. So, what is “networking” anyway?  Networking is defined as the connection of computing devices with the purpose of sharing different resources and information.  The information that is shared in networking is files, software, applications, etc.  Along with sharing information and resources, with the help of networking, you can communicate with different users in the network.  Networking provides a single platform for multiple users to work together on a single project.  Without networking, data sharing between different computer devices is difficult. A person has to use external devices like CD, DVD, and USB to transfer or share information from one device to another device but with networking, there is no need to use any external device to share the information between two devices.  For example, if you want to share data multiple times in a day then you have to follow the same process again and again like copying the data from one computer to a portable device then writing that data to other devices. This method is inappropriate and inconvenient. Networking provides an efficient way to share data or information among multiple computers.

2/ Classification Currently, there are four common types of networks:  LAN (local area network) – a local area network, connecting computers in a narrow radius, usually about a few hundred meters. Communication medium with high connection speed, such as twisted cable, coax cable, fiber optic cable. LANs are often used internally within an agency or organization.  WAN (Wide Area Network) is a wide area network, connecting computers within a country, or between countries in the same continent. Usually, this connection is done through a telecommunications network. The Wan connected to each other as GAN.  WAN , also known as " wide area network ", is used in large geographic areas often for countries or continents, ranges from a few hundred to several thousand kilometers. They consist of a set of machines intended to run programs for the user. These machines are often called host machines (host) or also known as server, end system (end system). The main machines are connected by communication subnets (communication

1.2. Characteristic:

 Limited range in range from a few meters up to 1 km.  Often use a simple technique of only one cable line (cable) connecting all machines. Typical data rates are 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and more recently 100 Gbps.  Three common LAN architectures include:

  • Network bus or linear network. The machines are connected continuously in a row from one machine to the other. Its example is Ethernet (standard IEEE 802.3).
  • Loop network. The machines are connected as above and the last machine is connected back to the first machine to form a closed loop. Example of the IBM token ring network.
  • Network stars.

1.3. Pros and Cons:

Advantages Disadvantages

  • It can connect network devices over short distance.
  • Easy and cheap communication, data and message can be easily shared with other computers connected to the network.
  • Software application sharing in LAN it is easy to use the same software in number of computers connected to a network.
  • Resource sharing computer resource like printer, scanner, modems, hard disk can shred within the connected devices. - High setup cost initially setup cost of installing local area network is high. - Covers limited area. - Data security threat, unauthorized users can access data of an office or campus if server hard disk is not properly secured by LAN administrator. - Privacy violation.

2/ WAN (Wide Area Network)

2.1. Concept:

 Contrast to LAN, a wide area network (WAN) spans multiple geographic locations and is typically made up of multiple LANs. It is used to transmit data over long distances, and between difference networks.  A WAN is essentially a network of networks, with the Internet the world's largest WAN.  Today, there are several types of WANs, built for a variety of use cases that touch virtually every aspect of modern life.

3/MAN (Metropolitan Are Network)

3.1. Concept:

 Unlike LAN and WAN, MAN (metropolitan area network) is not that

prevalent, it refers to a network that exists within a single city or metropolitan area.

 If we had two different building within a city that were connected together,

it would be considered a MAN.

 To be more specific, MAN is used in bank’s ATM system, in hospital’s

records system, or even in military bases.

3.2. Characteristic:

 The transport lines are also called circuits (circuit), channel (channel), or

transit line (trunk).

 The transfer connection equipment. This is a specialized type of computer

used to connect two or more feeders to move data between machines.

 When data comes in the infinites, the switch must choose (according to a

predefined algorithm) an output line to send the data to. The name of this device is the packet switching node or intermediate system.

 The computer used for the switch is called a "path selector" or "router"

(router).

 Most WANs consist of multiple cables or phone lines, each connected to a

pair of routers. If the two routers do not share the same line, they will communicate by indirectly through many other intermediate routers. When the router receives a packet, it will hold the packet until the outgoing line needed for that packet is empty it will forward the packet. In this case, we call the point-to-point subnet principle, or the store-and-forward subnet principle, or the packet forwarding subnet principle.

 There are many types of configurations for WANs that use point-to-point

principles such as star, ring, tree, complete, ring, or indeterminate.

3.3. Pros and Cons:

Advantages Disadvantages

  • Less expensive
  • Sending local emails using MAN we can send local email fast and free
  • High speed of WAN. MAN uses fiber optics, so it can transfer data fast. - More wires are required in MAN we require additional cables to connect to LAN. - Difficult to manage if MAN becomes big difficult to manage. - Internet speed difference.

4/PAN (Personal Area Network)

4.1. Concept:

 PAN (Personal Area Network). PANs have been around for some time

mainly in the areas of home automation.

 PAN s are wireless, meshed networks with a typical range of 10 – 20

meters; the meshed nature of a PAN means one device can act as a

relay for others.

4.3. Pros and Cons:

Advantages Disadvantages

 In PAN no extra space requires.  No need of extra cable and wire.  Used in office, conference, and meetings  It is used in TV remotes, AC remotes, etc.  Data can Synchronize between different devices.  Connect to many devices at a time  No extra space requires.  Affordable Cost.  Portable  Easy to use  Reliable  Secured  PAN can be operated in less range of areas.  Can only be used for personal area.  Slow data transfer.  Interfere with radio signals.

III. Network Topologies

1.1. What is Network Topology

 Definition:

  • Network topology refers to the manner in which the links and nodes of a network are arranged to relate to each other. Topologies are categorized as either physical network topology , which is the physical signal transmission medium, or logical network topology, which refers to the manner in which data travels through the network between devices, independent of physical connection of the devices. Logical network topology examples include twisted pair Ethernet, which is categorized as a logical bus topology, and token ring, which is categorized as a logical ring topology.
  • In order to enhances the user experience and helps administrators maximize performance while fulfilling business needs, a well-planned network topology therefore needed.
  • With a properly managed network topology, a business can improve the efficiency of its data transfer. Better efficiency, in turn, helps reduce costs for maintenance and operations.

1.2. Types of Topologies:

  • Components in a local LAN can be arranged in different connections and are called topologies. Thus, topology is the arrangement and connection of components in the network system together. There are quite a few types of network structure in which each architecture has its own advantages and disadvantages, so depending on the use situation, you can choose the appropriate connection type. These are some basic topologies:
  • In this type of Star Topology , each device has a point-to-point wired connection with the central device.
  • Each Network Device is connected to the central device with a patch cord. This patch cord may run throughout a room or a whole building.
  • Although it is being still used in many organizations. Due to high reliability and data transfer speeds, most of the organization use it for high end tasks such as Bank ATMs etc. But due to popularity of wireless devices, users have now started to discourage its use.
  • Moreover, a lot of drawbacks are associated with the wired setup and most of the users don’t like it. Advantages Disadvantages
  • Wired Star Topology is highly reliable in terms of data transmission.
  • It doesn’t overload the whole Computer Network because for connecting to the Network you need to plug the cable in.
  • Wired setup of this topology provides high data transfer rates in comparison to the wireless setups.
  • Troubleshooting is easy because you are sure that either there is problem in the patch wire or Network Devices.
  • Due to the limited length of the wire, you are obviously bound to sit at a specific distance from the Modem. So, it affects the mobility of a user.
  • There is not port in our Tablet PCs and Smartphones where we can plug the cable for using the Internet.
  • Provide you with a limited number of connecting devices.
  • You require a lot of capital expense to establish this setup as you have to purchase considerable amount of wire. Not only this, you even have to pay for wire ducts and connectors also.

b) Wireless Star Topology

  • This type of Star Topology requires the central Hub to be wireless in nature. Hence, all the device connects to the central device with the help of wireless signals preferably to “ WiFi ” technology.
  • We get a lot of benefits from this implementation. One of the major driving forces behind its usage is obviously liberty or freedom of use. By employing this technique, you are not restricted. In fact, you can connect to the Computer Network in wireless manner. Advantages Disadvantages
  • Flexibility - You can sit anywhere in a room and connect to the Network.
  • No limit on the number of devices that can be connected.
  • Offers more security in comparison to the wired setup. In most of the cases you require a passkey to connect to the Network.
  • Troubleshooting a Wireless Star Topology is sometimes very tricky and difficult.
  • Such a Network Topology provides lowered data transfer rates in comparison to the Wired Star Network Topology.
  • For imposing a limit on number of users, you have to perform manual
