Communications
• Computer communications describes a process in which two or more
computers or devices transfer data, instructions, and information
Sending
device — initiates
instruction to
transmit data,
instructions, or
information
Communications
device — connects
the communications
channel to the
receiving device
Receiving
device — accepts
transmission of data,
instructions, or
information
Communications
device — connects
the sending device to
the communications
channel
Communications
channel — media
on which data,
instructions, or
information travel
Uses of Computer Communications
Text messaging (SMS) allows users to send and receive short text messages
on a phone or other mobile device or computer
Picture messaging (MMS) allows users to send pictures and sound files
Video messaging allows users to send short video clips
Wireless instant messaging (IM) allows wireless users to exchange real-
time messages with one or more other users
Common Network Types
• Local Area Network (LAN)
• Wide Area Network (WAN)
• Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
• Home Area Network (HAN)
• Campus Area Network (CAN)
• Client-Server Network
• Peer-to-Peer Network
Network
• A Local Area Network
(LAN) is a network that
connects computers and
devices in a limited
geographical area
• A wireless LAN(WLAN) is
a LAN that uses no
physical wires
Local Area Network (LAN)
• Each computer or device on the network is called a node
• nodes are connected via cables, infrared links, or wireless media
• Contains printers, servers and computers
• Systems are close to each other
• Contained in one office or building
• not a system that connects to the public environment (such as the
Internet) using phone or data lines.
• Organizations often have several LANS
Network
• A Wide Area Network (WAN)
is a network that covers a
large geographical area
• Two or more LANs connected
• Typically use public or leased lines
• Phone lines
• Cables
• Radio Waves
• Communication satellite
• The Internet is a WAN
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
• A high-speed network that connects LANs in a metropolitan area such
as a city or town and handles the bulk of communications activity
across that region.
• Typically includes one or more LANs, but covers a smaller geographic
area than a WAN.
• A MAN usually is managed by a consortium of users or by a single
network provider that sells the service to the users.
• Local and state governments, for example, regulate some MANs.
• Telephone companies, cable television operators, and other
organizations provide users with connections to the MAN
Home Area Network (HAN)
• Small scale network
• Found mainly in the home
• Connects computers and entertainment appliances
• connects a person’s digital devices, from multiple computers and their
peripheral devices, such as a printer to telephones, VCRs, DVDs, televisions,
video games, home security systems, “ smart” appliances, fax machines, and
other digital devices that are wired into the network
Campus Area Network (CAN)
• Follows the same principles as a LAN only on a larger and more
diversified scale
• A LAN in one large geographic area
• Resources related to the same organization
• Each department shares the LAN
• With a CAN, different campus offices and organizations can be linked
together
• Some university departments or organizations might be linked to the
CAN even though they already have their own separate LANs.
Personal Area Network (PAN)
• Very small scale network
• Range is less than 2 meters
• Cell phones, PDAs, MP3 players
• PANs can be used for communication among the personal devices
themselves (intrapersonal communication), or for connecting to a
higher level network and the Internet (an uplink)
• A PAN may also be carried over wired computer buses such as USB
and FireWire
Network Architecture
• The design of computers, devices, and media on a
network is sometimes called the network architecture
• In client/server network one or more computers act as server and
others computers or clients access server for some services
Client/server network Peer-to-peer network
Server Based Network
• A node is a processing location that can be a PC or some
other device such as a networked printer
• Usually, server-based networks include many nodes and
one or more servers
• server control nodes access to the network's resources
• Users gain access by logging in
• Server is the most important computer
Client-Server Network
• Nodes and servers share data roles
• Nodes are called clients
• Servers are used to control access
• requires special software for the nodes and the server
• Database software
• Access to data controlled by server
• Server is the most important computer
• Require a person to serve as a network administrator because of the
large size of the network
Client-Server Network
• Some servers, called dedicated servers, perform a specific task and
can be placed with other dedicated servers to perform multiple tasks.
• For example, a file server stores and manages files.
• A print server manages printers and documents being printed.
• A database server stores and provides access to a database.
• A network server manages network traffic (activity).
• A Web server is a computer that delivers requested Web pages to your
computer
Network
• P2P describes an Internet network on which users access each other’s
hard disks and exchange files directly over the Internet
• Each computer, or peer, has equal capabilities
Peer-to-Peer Network
• All nodes are equal
• Nodes access resources on other nodes
• Each node controls its own resources
• Most modern OS allow P2PN
• Distributing computing is a form
• Kazaa, Bit Torrent,
Network
• A network topology refers to the layout of the
computers and devices in a communications
network
• Choice affects
• Network performance
• Network size
• Network collision detection
Star network Bus network
Ring network
Physical Transmission Media
• Twisted Pair is used for telephone systems and network cabling
• Coaxial cable is often used for cable television wiring
• Fiber optic cable is capable of carrying significantly more data at
faster speeds than wire cables.
• Less susceptible of interference (noise) and therefore more secure
• Smaller size (thinner and lighter)
Twisted Pair Cable
