3. NETWORK DEFINITION
A network is a set of devices connected by
communication links.
The connections ( Network Link) between nodes
are established using either cable media or
wireless media
The best known computer network is the Internet
5. BENEFITS OF NETWORK
Resource sharing
–Printer, processing power, disk
space etc
–Reduces cost
Communication
–Email, chatting, video conferencing
12. INTERNET
The largest network of networks in
the world.
Uses TCP/IP protocols and packet
switching.
Runs on any communications
substrate
13. PACKET SWITCHING
A mode of data transmission in which
a message is broken into a number of
parts
that are sent independently,
over whatever route is optimum for
each packet,
and reassembled at the destination.
14. WHAT IS PROTOCOL
A protocol is the special set of
rules that end points in a
telecommunication connection.
use when they communicate.
15. TCP/IP PROTOCOL
Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol: TCP/IP
Is the basic communication
language OR protocol of Internet.
16. TCP: TRANSMISSION CONTROL
PROTOCOL
Is one of the core protocol of the internet
protocol suite.
Specify how data should be formatted,
addressed
When you are set up with direct access to
the internet, your computer is provided with
a copy of the TCP/IP program
just as every other computer that you may
send message to or get information from
also has a copy of TCP/IP.
17. IP: INTERNET PROTOCOL
Internet protocol
Handles the address part of each
packet so that it gets to the right
destination.
19. INTRANET
A network based on TCP/IP protocols (an
internet) belonging to an organization,
Is a collection of private computer networks within
an organization.
accessible only by the organization's members,
employees, or others with authorization.
20. EXTRANET
refers to an intranet that is partially accessible to
authorized outsiders.
An extranet provides various levels of
accessibility to outsiders.
You can access an extranet only if you have a
valid username and password,
and your identity determines which parts of the
extranet you can view.
Extranets are becoming a very popular means for
business partners to exchange information.
21. TERMENOLOGY
Memex
the most important mechanism,
conceived by Vannevar Bush
Brush introduced the idea for a microfilm
based machine for storing and retrieving
knowledge.
It considered as closed to the modern
hypertext system .
22. TERMENOLOGY
Mathematical theory of
communication:
is an influential 1948 .
Article by mathematician Claude E.
Shannon.
Claude Shannon demonstrate how to
generate “English looking” text using
Markov chains.

23. TERMENOLOGY
Silicon Chip:
was first discovered by Jack S Kilby at
Texas in 1958,
that are imprinted onto a tiny chip of a
semiconducting material, such as Silicon .
It’s an electronic equipment consisting of a
small crystal of silicon semiconductor
fabricated to carry out a number of
electronic function in an integrated circuit
Example: microprocessor chip
