4. INTRODUCTION
• A computer network is a telecommunications network that
allows computers to exchange data.
• The physical connection between networked computing
devices is established using either cable media or wireless
media.
• To be able to connect with networks, some computers need a
network interface card, or NIC.The NIC handles the flow of
data to and from the computer in both wired and wireless
networks.

8. COMPUTER NETWORK
WHAT IS A COMPUTER NETWORK ?
• A collection of computing devices that are connected in various ways in
order to communicate and share resources.
• To create a computer network, each workstation and device must be
able to communicate with the network.
• Anything connected to network is called (Node).
• This requires establishing the physical connection using physical media.
• Usually, the connections between computers in a network are made
using physical wires or cables.

10. COMPUTER NETWORK
HOW DO COMPUTERSTALKTO EACH OTHER?
• For computers to talk with one another, they must use the
same protocol. A protocol sets a standard format for data and
rules for handling it.
• The communication on a network is called NetworkTraffic.
• Network traffic is the electronic pulses of information sent by
the network cards to carry data through the network wires to
its destination.

11. COMPUTER NETWORK
There are two protocol categories: open and proprietary.
• The most common open protocol is the
TransmissionControl Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP), which is used by computers
on the Internet.
• A proprietary protocol is only available to
people who buy certain equipment,
services, or computers.

20. Client-server architecture
• On a network built using the client-server architecture, the
devices communicate to other devices through a central
computer referred to as a server.
• The server is a terminal with high processing power, which
provides services for the other computers on the network.
• The client is a terminal that accesses the resources
available on a server.

21. Peer-to-peer architecture
• On a network built using the peer-to-peer
architecture, no specific distinction exists between a
client and a server.
• Any node can provide a service as well as send a
request for a service from another node on the
network.
• The peer-to-peer network architecture allows sharing
of resources, data, and users.
• Each node on the network has full control over the
network resources.

22. Hybrid architecture
• A hybrid, in general, is a composition of two
different types of elements.
• A hybrid network architecture is created to get the
benefits of both, the peer-to-peer and the client-
server architectures, in a network.

23. NETWORKTOPOLOGY
• A map of a network shows the physical structure of the network, including
servers, work-stations, and other network devices.This layout is called the
network topology.
• The different types of network topologies that can be used to set up a
network are:
• BusTopology.
• StarTopology.
• RingTopology.
• MeshTopology.
• TreeTopology.
• HybridTopology.

24. NETWORKTOPOLOGY
Topology solves the issues of contention and collision.
• When two computers try to access the
network at the same time, they're in
contention.
• If both sent their data at once, there could
be a collision, with
the data mixing together.

25. NETWORKTOPOLOGY
Bus topology is a rare, older network design, in which devices are connected to a single
network line.
Disadvantages of BusTopology
* Cables fails then whole network fails.
* Cable has a limited length.
* It is slower than the ring topology.

26. NETWORKTOPOLOGY
Ring Topology forms a ring as each computer is connected to another computer,
with the last one connected to the first.
Disadvantages of RingTopology:
• Cable fails then whole network
fails.
• It is difficult to install and
reconfigure ring topology.

27. NETWORKTOPOLOGY
Star topology design connects each network device to a central hub. A hub is a
connection point for all the computers, printers, and other equipment on the
network.
Disadvantages of RingTopology:
Requires more cable than most topologies
