Introduction to Computer Networks 
INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER 
NETWORKS
Introduction to Computer Networks 
Computer Networks 
Computer network 
connects two or more 
autonomous computers. 
The computers can be 
geographically located 
anywhere.
Introduction to Computer Networks 
LAN, MAN & WAN 
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)
Introduction to Computer Networks 
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 
Distributed processing (GRID Computing)
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.
Introduction to Computer Networks 
Bus Topology 
Commonly referred to 
as a linear bus, all the 
devices on a bus 
topology are connected 
by one single cable.
Introduction to Computer Networks 
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.
Introduction to Computer Networks 
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.
Introduction to Computer Networks 
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.
Introduction to Computer Networks 
Network Components 
Physical Media 
Interconnecting Devices 
Computers 
Networking Software 
Applications
Introduction to Computer Networks 
Networking Media 
Networking media can 
be defined simply as 
the means by which 
signals (data) are sent 
from one computer to 
another (either by cable 
or wireless means).
Introduction to Computer Networks 
Networking Devices 
HUB, Switches, Routers, 
Wireless Access Points, 
Modems etc.
Introduction to Computer Networks 
Computers: Clients and Servers 
In a client/server 
network arrangement, 
network services are 
located in a dedicated 
computer whose only 
function is to respond 
to the requests of 
clients. 
The server contains the 
file, print, application, 
security, and other 
services in a central 
computer that is 
continuously available 
to respond to client 
requests.
