Types of Network The following are the general types of networks used today. · Local Area Network (LAN) · Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) · Wide Area Network (WAN) A network connecting systems and devices inside a single building or buildings close to each other is called Local Area Network (LAN) (Fig.6.1). Generally LANs do not use the telephone network. They are connected either by wire or wireless. Wired connection may be using twisted pairs, coaxial cables or Fiber Optic cables. In a wireless LAN, connections may be using infrared or radio waves. Wireless networks are useful when computers are portable. However, wireless network communicates slowly than a wired network. The number of Computers in the network is between two to several hundreds. LAN is generally used to share hardware, software and data. A computer sharing software package and hard disk is called a file server or network server. A Network that spans a geographical area covering a Metropolitan city is called Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) A WAN is typically two or more LANs connected together across a wide geographical area. The individual LANs separated by large distances may be connected by dedicated links, fiberoptic cables or satellite links. Network Topology The network topology is the structure or layout of the communication channels that connects the various computers on the network. Each computer in the network is called a node. There are a number of factors that determine the topology suitable for a given situation. Some of the important consideration is the type of nodes, the expected performance, type of wiring (physical link) used and the cost. Networ can be laid out in different ways. The five common topologies are star, ring, bus, hybrid and FDDI. Star Network : In a star network all computers and other communication devices are connected to a central hub. Such as a file server or host computer usually by a Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables. 
Ring Network: In a ring network computers and other communication devices are connected in a continuous loop Electronic data are passed around the ring in one direction, with each node serving as a repeater until it reaches the right destination. There is no central host computer or server. 
Bus Network: In a bus network all communication devices are connected to a common cable called bus There is no central computer or server. The data transmission is bidirectional. 
Hybrid Network: A hybrid network is a combination of the above three networks suited to the need. FDDI Network: A FDDI network (pronounced as fiddy short for Fiber Distributed Data Interface) is a high-speed network using fiber optic cable. It is used for high tech purposes such as electronic images, high-resolution graphics and digital video. The main disadvantage is its high cost. Basic Elements in Networking All networks require the following three elements 1. Network services Network services are provided by numerous combinations of computer hardware and software. Depending upon the task, network services require data, input/output resources and processing power to accomplish their goal. 2. Transmission media Transmission media is the pathway for contacting each computer with other. Transmission media include cables and wireless Technologies that allows networked devices to contact each other. This provides a message delivery path.
A protocol can be one rule or a set of rules and standards that allow different devices to hold conversations. Modem Computers at different parts of the world are connected by telephone lines. The telephone converts the voice at one end into an electric signal that can flow through a telephone cable. The telephone at the receiving end converts this electric signal into voice. Hence the receiver could hear the voice. The process of converting sound or data into a signal that can flow through the telephone wire is called modulation. The reverse process is called demodulation. The telephone instrument contains the necessary circuit to perform these activities. The device that accomplishes modulation – demodulation process is called a modem. It is known that the electrical and sound signals are analog - which continuously vary with time. 
Data Transmission Rate The speed at which data travel over a communication channel is called the communication rate. The rate at which the data are transferred is expressed in terms of bits per second (bps) Transmission Mode 
Internet Several networks, small and big all over the world, are connected together to form a Global network called the Internet. Today’s Internet is a network of about 50 million or more computers spread across 200 countries. Anyone connected to the Internet can reach, communicate and access information from any other computer connected to it.
Internet is a packet-switching network. Here is how packetswitching works: A sending computer breaks an electronic message into packets. The various packets are sent through a communication network-often by different routes, at different speeds and sandwiched in between packets from other messages. Once the packets arrive at the destination, the receiving computer reassembles the packets in proper sequence. The packet switching is suitable for data transmission. The software that is responsible for making the Internet function efficiently is TCP/IP. TCP/IP is made up of two components. TCP stands for transmission control protocol and IP stands for Internet Protocol. TCP breaks up the data to be sent into little packets. It guarantees that any data sent to the destination computer reaches intact. It makes the process appear as if one computer is directly connected to the other providing what appears to be a dedicated connection. IP is a set of conventions Who Governs The Internet ? The Internet as a whole does not have a single controller. But the Internet society, which is a voluntary membership organization, takes the responsibility to promote global information exchange through the Internet technology. Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and 185 Numbers (ICANN) administers the domain name registration. It helps to avoid a name which is already registered.
Web is a multimedia portion of the Internet. It consists of an interconnection system of sites or servers all over the world that can store information in the multimedia form. The Multimedia sites include text, animated graph, voice and images. The World Wide Web is the most graphically inviting and easily navigable section of the Internet. It contains several millions of pages of information. Each page is called a web page. A group of related web pages linked together forms a web site. The first page of the website is called a Home page. The Home page usually contains information about the site and links to other pages on that site.
To use an Internet in the simplest way, we need · A Computer · A Telephone lineA Modem · Internet Service Provided or ISP The ISPs are the companies which allow the user to use the Internet for a price. One has to register with the ISP for an Internet account. ISP provides the following: Exercises I.
