Computer Networks

Computer network
connects two or more
autonomous
computers.

The computers can be


geographically located
anywhere.
LAN, MAN & WAN

1. Network in small geographical Area (Room,


Building or a Campus) is called LAN (Local Area
Network)

2.Network in a City is call MAN (Metropolitan Area


Network)

3..Network spread geographically (Country or across


Globe) is called WAN (Wide Area Network)
Applications of Networks
Resource Sharing
Hardware (computing resources, disks, printers)
Software (application software)
Information Sharing
Easy accessibility from anywhere (files, databases)
Search Capability (WWW)
Communication
Email
Message broadcast
Remote computing
Local Area Networks (LANs)

Local Area Networks are privately-owned networks


within a small area, usually a single building or campus
of up to a few kilometers.

Since it is restricted in size, that means their data


transmission time can be known in advance, and the
network management would be easier.

Local Area Networks


Metropolitan Area Net work

• A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) is a network


that is utilized across multiple buildings
• Commonly used in school campuses or large
companies with multiple buildings
• Is larger than a LAN, but smaller than a WAN
• Is also used to mean the interconnection of several
LANs by bridging them together. This sort of
network is also referred to as a campus network
Metropolitan Area Networks
(MAN)
Wide Area Networks

The main difference between a MAN and a


WAN is that the WAN uses Long Distance
Carriers.
Otherwise the same protocols and equipment
are used as a MAN.

Introduction to Computer Networks

Network Topology
The network topology
defines the way in which
computers, printers, and
other devices are
connected. A network
topology describes the
layout of the wire and
devices as well as the
paths used by data
transmissions.
Bus Topology

Commonly referred to as
a linear bus, all the
devices on a bus topology
are connected by one
single cable.
Star & Tree Topology
The star topology is the most commonly
used architecture in Ethernet LANs.
When installed, the star topology resembles
spokes in a bicycle wheel.
Larger networks use the extended star
topology also called tree topology. When
used with network devices that filter frames
or packets, like bridges, switches, and
routers, this topology significantly reduces
the traffic on the wires by sending packets
only to the wires of the destination host.
Ring Topology

A frame travels around the ring, stopping


at each node. If a node wants to transmit
data, it adds the data as well as the
destination address to the frame.
The frame then continues around the
ring until it finds the destination node,
which takes the data out of the frame.
Single ring – All the devices on the
network share a single cable
Dual ring – The dual ring topology
allows data to be sent in both
directions.
Mesh Topology
The mesh topology connects
all devices (nodes) to each
other for redundancy and
fault tolerance.
It is used in WANs to
interconnect LANs and for
mission critical networks like
those used by banks and
financial institutions.
Implementing the mesh
topology is expensive and
difficult.
