    INTRODUCTION
    In today's interconnected world, computer networking plays a
    crucial role in facilitating communication, collaboration, and data
    exchange across various devices and systems. At its core,
    computer networking refers to the practice of connecting
    multiple computing devices to share resources and information
    efficiently.
    DEFINITION &
    IMPORTANCE
    What is Computer Networking?

    Computer networking involves the interconnection of


    devices, such as computers, servers, smartphones, and
    other hardware, to create a network that enables
    seamless communication and data transfer. Networks
    can range from small local area networks (LALANswithin a
    home or office to vast global networks like the internet.
    Why is Computer Networking Important?

    The significance of computer networking lies


    in its ability to enable individuals,
    organizations, and societies to access and
    share information rapidly and securely.
    Networking facilitates tasks such as file
    sharing, email communication, online
    collaboration, and accessing remote
    resources, enhancing productivity and
    connectivity.
    What is Network Topology?

    A network topology is the physical


    and logical arrangement of nodes
    and connections in a network.
    Nodes usually include devices such
    as switches, routers and software
    with switch and router features.
    Network topologies are often
    represented as a graph.
    A star network is a local area
    network (LAN) topology in
    which all nodes -- personal
    computers (PCs),
    A host on a bus network is called station.
    In a bus network, every station will Star workstations or other
    receive all network traffic, and the traffic devices -- are directly
    generated by each station has equal connected to a common
    transmission priority.[3] A bus network central computer that is

    collision domain. In order for nodes to

    A ring topology is a network network topology in which the
    design where connected devices infrastructure nodes (i.e.
    form a circular data channel. Each Ring bridges, switches, and other
    networked device is linked to two infrastructure devices) connect
    more ones by two points on a directly, dynamically and non-
    circle. A ring network is a hierarchically to as many other

    • PERSONAL AREA NETWORK (PAN)
    • LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN)
    • WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK (WLAN)
    • METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK (MAN)
    • WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN)
    • STORAGE AREA NETWORK (SAN)
    • VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK (VPN)
    • GLOBAL AREA NETWORK (GAN)
    This is the smallest and most basic network that you’ll find. It’s meant to
    cover a very small area (typically a single room or building). A PAN is
    most commonly used for one individual and to connect just a handful of
    devices such as a computer, smart phone, and printer.

    This is an extremely common and well-known type of network. Just


    as the name suggests, a LAN connects a group of computers or
    devices together across a local area. This type of network can be
    utilized to connect devices throughout one building or even 2-3
    buildings depending on the proximity to each other. Whether your
    office location utilizes wired or wireless connection, it’s almost
    surely using a LAN connection. This brings us to the next type of
    network…
    A WLAN is simply a LAN that does not rely on cables to
    connect to the network. So, when you’re using WiFi, you’re
    using a WLAN. WLANs are typically used in the same
    scenario as LANs, it just depends on whether you’d prefer
    an on premises or remote cloud solution (wires or
    wireless).

    Larger than a LAN but smaller than a WAN, a MAN incorporates elements
    of both types of networks. It connects multiple LANs together and spans
    an entire geographical area such as a city or town (or sometimes a
    campus). Ownership and management can be handled by a single
    person, but it’s more likely done by a larger company or organization.
    Like LANs, you very well may recognize the term “WAN.” WANs do
    the same thing as LANs but across a larger area while connecting
    more devices. Even when miles apart, a WAN can connect devices
    together remotely. In fact, the most basic example of a WAN is the
    Internet which connects computers and devices worldwide. Since it’s
    much larger, this type of network is typically maintained by multiple
    administrators and ownership is distributed across various
    organizations.

    A SAN is another type of LAN that’s designed to handle large


    data transfers and storage. This purpose of this network is to
    move larger, more complex storage resources away from the
    network into a separate, high-performance atmosphere. Doing
    this not only allows for easy retrieval and storage of the data
    but it also frees up space and improves overall performance of
    the original network.
    The point of a VPN is to increase security and privacy while
    accessing a network. The VPN acts as a middleman between you and
    the network by encrypting your data and hiding your identity. This is
    a great option for sending and receiving sensitive information,
    however, using a VPN is ideal anytime you connect to the Internet.
    Anytime you’re on a public network, you run the risk of being
    targeted by a hacker, so using a VPN is you best bet at ensuring your
    cybersecurity.

    The Global Area Network (GAN) is an innovative technology designed


    to support communication across vast geographical areas. It links
    different networks located anywhere in the world, such as offices,
    companies, or government entities, through various devices like
    satellites or transoceanic cables.
    OUR LEARNINGS
    Through the computer networking we
    can connect to the other computer
    that uses data. We can communicate
    to any kinds of computers that make
    our works faster and easier.
