Class 1: Introduction: Ice 4017: Computer Networks and Protocol

This document provides an introduction to the course "Computer Networks and Protocol" taught by Dr. S. Meenatchisundaram. It discusses how computer networks allow computers to exchange information and come in many sizes. The key advantages of computer networks are resource sharing, high reliability through backups, cost savings, communication medium, flexible work environments, and scalability. Some disadvantages are social, ethical, and political problems from misuse of networks. Examples of network applications include client-server models for businesses and peer-to-peer systems for homes. Electronic commerce is also discussed.

Computer Networks and Protocol (ICE 4017)


Dr. S. Meenatchi Sundaram, MIT, Manipal
Computer Networks
• A collection of autonomous computers interconnected by
a single technology.
• Two computers are said to be interconnected if they are
able to exchange information.
• The connection need not be via a copper wire; fiber
optics, microwaves, infrared, and communication
satellites can also be used.
• Networks come in many sizes, shapes and forms.
• Is internet and world wide web a computer network????
• the Internet is not a single network but a network of networks and the
Web is a distributed system that runs on top of the Internet

Uses of computer networks
• Best utilization of available data, programs and computing
systems.
1. Resource or load sharing:
• Operational advantage – sharing a unique technology,
software and large-scale computers.
• Managerial advantage: Managing the resource in efficient way.
2. High Reliability:
• Provides back up facilities
• Alternative sources in case of hardware failure – useful for
critical application like air traffic control, Military, Banking, etc.
