Assalamualaikum,
This week I would share about what I've
have been learn about computer network. It is simply a group of interconnected
computers. Two or more computers are connected via hardware or software, and
able to communicate with each other.
Network computer is a major components of a
computer network, for example;
- Communication
- Media
- Interconnecting Devices
- Computers
- Networking
The data transmission characteristics is :
- Bandwidth (rate of transmission)
- Analog or Digital (type of signal)
- Serial or Parallel (order of bits)
Communication Channel
-To send data through the channel requires
some type of transmission media, which may be either physical or wireless.
Network Medium
- Computers share access to common network
medium that carries signals from one computer to another.
- Medium may be physical cable, such as
twisted pair, coaxial, or fiber-optic.
- Medium may also be wireless.
PHYSICAL MEDIA
WIRELESS MEDIA
•
Microwave system – transmits data via high-frequency radio signals
through the atmosphere
•
Satellite system – receive transmitted signals, amplify them, and then
transmit the signals to the appropriate locations
•
Cellular technology – uses antennae resembling telephone towers to pick
up radio signals within a specific area (cell)
•
Infrared technology – transmits data as infrared light waves from one
device to another, providing wireless links between PCs and peripherals
3 TYPES OF NETWORK :)
• Network in small geographical Area (Room, Building or a Campus) is
called LAN (Local Area Network)
• Network in a City is call MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
• Network spread geographically (Country or across Globe) is called WAN
(Wide Area Network)
Peer-to-Peer Networking Advantages
•
Easy to install and configure
•
No dedicated server
•
Users control own shared resources
•
Inexpensive to purchase and operate
•
No additional equipment or software
•
No dedicated administrators
•
Works best with 10 or fewer users
Peer-to-Peer Networking Disadvantages
•
Security applies to single resource at a time
•
Users may have many different passwords
•
Must back up each machine individually
•
Machine sharing resources may suffers reduced performance
•
No centralized organization scheme to locate or control access to data
•
Does not usually work well with more than
10 users
that s all that i can share in network
topic . theres a lot information to complete this topic, but just this all i
can share . see again . :)
