Basics of Networking by Dinakar

This document provides an overview of basics of networking. It discusses that a network allows for easy flow of data and sharing of resources between connected terminals, computers, and servers. The origins of modern networking began in the 1960s with the US Department of Defense seeking to develop a communications system that could withstand a nuclear war. Key developments included the creation of ARPANET, which laid the foundations for the internet, and the invention of the TCP/IP model and protocols in 1974. The document also covers common network topologies like bus, mesh, ring, and star (the most widely used) and defines the differences between local, metropolitan, and wide area networks.

What is Network?

A network is a collection of terminals,


computers, servers, and components which allows for
the easy flow of data and use of resources between one
another.
Basics of Networking

Networking began its infancy in the mid -1960’s.


by the US Department of Defence (DoD).

The original intention of networking was being


developed to withstand a nuclear war.

Telephone networks were to vulnerable and would


terminate all conversations should a nuclear war
occur.
Basics of Networking

You wake up at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and


stop and check your e-mail on the way back to bed.
Basics of Networking

WE ARE DEALING WITH MACHINES INSTEAD OF


PEOPLE IN TODAY’S WORLD. OUR PRIVACY IS
AFFECTED AND ALMOST ALL OF OUR PERSONAL
INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND IN
THE “VIRTUAL WORLD” .
Basics of Networking

ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency)


was created in response with the launching of
the Sputnik in 1957.

The ARPANET created by ARPA of the United States


Department of Defense during the Cold War, was the
world's first operational packet switching network, and
the predecessor of the global Internet.
Basics of Networking

ARPANET protocols were not suitable for running over


multiple networks, so TCP/IP model and protocols
were invented in 1974. it leads to Invention of internet
TYPES OF NETWORKS

LAN – LOCAL AREA NETWORK IS A SMALL


GEOGRAPHICAL AREA SUCH AS OUR SCHOOL
BOARD.
MAN – METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK IS A
NETWORK OVER A LARGER GEOGRAPHICAL AREA
SUCH AS THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT.

WAN – WIDE AREA NETWORK IS A NETWORK USED


OVER AN EXTREMELY LARGE GEOGRAPHICAL AREA
SUCH AS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
TYPES OF NETWORKS

MAN

LAN

WAN
Basics of Networking

NETWORKS ARE BROKEN INTO 4 TOPOLOGIES.


THEY ARE:

•BUS TOPOLOGY

•MESH TOPOLOGY

•RING TOPOLOGY

•STAR TOPOLOGY
Basics of Networking

BUS TOPOLOGY ALLOWS INFORMATION TO BE


DIRECTED FROM ONE COMPUTER TO THE OTHER.
LOTS OF BINARY COLLISION THOUGH.
Basics of Networking

MESH TOPOLOGY is a
network where all the
nodes are connected to
each other and is a
complete network.
Basics of Networking

RING TOPOLOGY- USES A TOKEN TO PASS


INFORMATION FROM 1 COMPUTER TO THE OTHER.
A TOKEN IS ATTACHED TO THE MESSAGE BY THE
SENDER TO IDENTIFY WHICH COMPUTER SHOULD
RECEIVE THE MESSAGE. AS THE MESSAGE MOVES
AROUND THE RING, EACH COMPUTER EXAMINES
THE TOKEN. IF THE COMPUTER IDENTIFIES THE TOKEN
AS ITS OWN, THEN IT WILL PROCESS THE
INFORMATION.
Basics of Networking

A DISADVANTAGE OF A TOKEN RING IS IF ONE


COMPUTER IS BROKEN OR DOWN, THE MESSAGE
CANNOT BE PASSED TO THE OTHER COMPUTERS.
Basics of Networking

STAR TOPOLOGY IS THE MOST COMMON TYPE


USED. ALL COMPUTERS ARE ATTACHED TO A HUB.
LESS COLLISIONS AND MOST EFFICIENT.
