Introduction:
In this module you can learn something about
Fundamentals of Computer Network. We made this
module to share and add some for our knowledge and
understanding about computers or about this topic. We
want that before you enter on this module you will
assure yourself that you are ready to get more
knowledge after reading this topic.
Networking fundamentals is about teaching building
blocks of modern network design. Typically you will learn
about many different types of networks, networking
concepts, network architecture, network
communications and inside this module you can learn
about how computer network affect you and help your
difficulties in computer types.
We wish that you will enjoy and understand these
topic after reading and understand the following pages
and texts.
 Objectives:
A. To study and learn all about how
Fundamentals Computer Network works.
B. To learn how it can affect you and
know about computer types.
C. To finally understand your
difficulties about this kind of topic.

Fundamentals
In the world of computers, networking is the
practice of linking two or more computing devices
together for the purpose of sharing data. Networks
are built with combination of computer hardware
and computer software. Some explanations of
networking found in books and tutorials are highly
technical, designed for students and professionals,
while others are geared more to home and business
uses of computer networks. Here’s a quick,
simplified look at the fundamental concepts of
networking.
01. Types of Computer
Networks
Networks can be categorized in several different
ways. One method defines the type of a network
according to the geographic area it spans.
Alternatively, networks can also be classified based
on topology or on the types of protocols they
support.
02. Types of Network
Equipment:
The Hardware
The building blocks of a home computer network
include adapters, routers and/or access points. Wired
(and hybrid wired/ wireless) networking also involves
cables of varying types. Finally, large scale enterprise
networks, in particular, often employ other advanced
equipment for specialized communication purposes.

03. Ethernet
Ethernet is a physical and data link layer
technology for local area networks. Homes, schools,
and officers around the world all commonly used
Ethernet-standard cables and adapters to network
personal computers.

04. Wireless Local Area

Networking (WLAN)
Wi-fi is the most popular wireless
communication protocol for local area networks.
Private home and business networks and public
hotspots use Wi-Fi to connect computers and other
wireless devices to each other and the Internet.
Bluetooth is another wireless protocol commonly
used in cellular phones and computer peripherals
for short-range network communication.

05. Internet Service

The technologies used to connect to the internet

are different than those used for connecting devices
on local area network. Digital subscriber lines (DSL),
cable modems, and fiber provide fixed broadband
internet service, while WiMax and LTE additionally
support mobile connectivity. In geographic areas
where these high-speed options are unavailable,
subscribers are forced to use older cellular services,
satellite, or even dial-up internet instead.
06. TCP/IP and Other Internet
Protocols
TCP/IP is the primary network protocol of the
internet. The acronym refers to Transmission
Control Protocol and the Internet Protocol, the two
frameworks on which the model is based. A related
family of protocols built on top of TCP/IP allows
web browsers, email, and many other applications
to communicate across network globally.
Applications and computers using TCP/IP identify
each other with assigned IP addresses, which are a
series of numbers that typically looks like
###.##.###.
07. Network Routing
Switching, and Bridging
Most computer networks direct messages from
source to destination devices using any of three
techniques: routing, switching, and bridging.
Routers use certain network address information
contained inside messages to send them ahead to
their destination (often via routers). Switches use
much of the same technology as routers but
typically support local area networks only. Bridging
allows messages to flow between two different
types of physical networks.
