Defining a Network

• A (computer) network is an interconnection of two or more computing devices.

• It can serve a variety of purposes including:

- File sharing between two computers

- Video chatting across different parts of the world

- Surfing the Web

- Instant messaging (IM) between computer with IM software installed.

- E-mail

- Voice over IP (VoIP)

- A converged network is one that transports multiple forms of traffic (video, voice, and

data)

Network Components: 1-1


Network Components

5

The network components are:

• The physical elements, or hardware such as a laptop, switch, router, wireless access point, the

cabling used to connect the devices, … etc.

• The services, called software, that provide information in response to a request like email hosting

services and web hosting services.


Physical Components of the Network:

6

• End Devices or Hosts: These devices form the interface between users and the underlying

communication network. Examples of end devices are Computers (work stations, laptops, file

servers, web servers), Network printers, VoIP phones, Mobile handheld devices, and … etc.

– A host device is either the source or destination of a message transmitted over the network.

• Intermediary Network Devices: Intermediary devices connect the individual hosts to the

network and can connect multiple individual networks to form an internetwork. Examples of

intermediary devices are switches, wireless access points, routers, firewalls, and … etc.

– These devices use the destination host address to determine the path that messages should take

through the network.

• Network Media: The medium provides the channel over which the message travels from

source to destination. The three types of media are Copper, Fiber Optic, and Wireless.


Network Representations:

7


Network Interfaces Card (NIC):

8

• NIC: is a device installed in a computer, printer, or any other network component

so they can be connected to a network.


Network Components

•Client: The term client defines the device an end user uses to access a network.

9


Network Components

•Server: A server provides resources to a network. (Email, Web pages, or files)

10


Hub:

11

• is a device that contains multiple ports to connect multiple computers or network

devices to each other. When a computer transmit data through a hub, the hub will

broadcast the data to all other computers attached to it.

Broadcast: the data are sent to every device on a network.


Switch:

12

• Switch: is a device that contains multiple ports to connect multiple

computers or network devices to each other. Unlike hub, switch can

send the data to only the destined computer.


Bridge:

13

• Bridge: we can say that the bridge is the old version of the switch, where the

bridge works almost like the switch.


Router:

14

• Router: is a device whose primary purpose is to connect two or more networks and determine the next

network point to which the data should be forwarded toward its destination.
