CONCEPT NOTES
A computer network  is a collection of computers and other devices linked together via use networking devices. Networking devices are
also called as communicating devices. 
Computer networks are important because it ensures effective transmission and sharing of data between different computer devices.
 Setting-up computer networks at your homes does not need to be complicated. Few basic pieces of computer hardware are needed to
connect your computers and other devices to each other and to the Internet.
Topic 1: Network Categories
Personal Area Network (PAN) This is used for communication among computer and different devices close to a
person. PAN usually reaches up to 10 meters.
                                             
Local Area Network (LAN) Consists of personal computers linked together within a limited area. For example,
within a small building, office, floor, or department.
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) Larger than LAN. It can span in no more than 50 miles. It is used to cover a small
Wide Area Network (WAN) This type of network covers a large geographic area such as a city or even a
country. Different types of communication channels such as telephone lines,
cables, and air waves are used for this to be possible. The Internet is an example
of a WAN and it is the world’s largest WAN.  
Topic 2: Difference in Network Categories

Difference in... LAN MAN WAN

Cost Low Optic High Higher
Network Size Small Large Largest
Speed Fastest Slower Slowest
Transmission Media Twisted Pair Twisted Pair Fiber Optic, Radio Wave
Fiber-Optic Cables Satellite
Number of Computers Smallest Large Largest
Topic 1: Network Topologies
Basically, network topology is how the network of devices/computers is arranged through the connection of various nodes through lines
of connections.
Imagine a topology as a guide or a map in creating your own network.
There are different types of network topologies that we will be going through in this topic.

Bus Topology
This is a network type in which the computers and
network devices are connected to a single cable.

This type of network can transmit data in only one

direction. Each device is connected to a single
cable.

PROS CONS
☑ Cost-effective ☑ When cable fails, the whole network fails
☑ Cable is required ☑ If network traffic is heavy, the performance of the network decreases
☑ For small networks ☑ Cable has limited length
☑ Easy to understand and create ☑ Slower than ring topology
☑ Easy to expand (through joining two cables)

Ring Topology
This network forms like a ring where a computer is connected to another
computer. The last computer is connected to the first. Each computer has
two neighbors.

It has a number of repeaters. The transmission is unidirectional.

The data is also transferred in a sequential manner, bit by bit.
PROS
☑ Not affected by high traffic
☑ Cheap to install and expand

CONS
☑ Hard to troubleshoot
☑ Adding or removing a computer will disturb network activity
☑ When a computer fails, the whole network is disturbed
Star Topology
This type features all computers connected through a single hub/switch
through a cable. The hub/switch is a central node and all others are
connected to a central node.

Each node has a dedicated connection to the hub/switch. This will act as
a repeater as well for data flow. This can be done using a UTP, optical
fiber, or coaxial cable.

PROS CONS
☑ Fast performance the fewer nodes ☑ High cost
☑ Low network traffic ☑ Expensive to maintain
☑ Switch/Hub can be easily upgraded ☑ When switch/hub fails, whole network stops
☑ Easy set-up and modification ☑ Switch/hub capacity controls the performance
☑ When a node fails, the others can work smoothly

Mesh Topology
This type is a point-to-point connection with other devices. The traffic
is carried between two devices which it is connected.

There are two types: (1) partial mesh topology where some of the

systems are connected in the same fashion as mesh topology but
some devices are connected to two or three devices; and (2) full
mesh topology where each and every device is connected to each
other.
This type features a full, robust connection. However, it is not flexible.
PROS CONS
☑ Each connection can carry own data load ☑ Difficult to install and configure
☑ Robust ☑ Expensive cabling cost
☑ Easy troubleshooting ☑ Secure and private ☑ Bulk wiring

Tree Topology
This type has a root device and other devices are connected to form a hierarchy. Also known as hierarchical topology. It should have at
least three levels in the hierarchy.

This is ideal if workstations are located in groups. It is used in WANs.

PROS
☑ Can be extensions of bus and star topologies
☑ Easily expanded
CONS
☑ Easily managed and maintained
☑ Heavily cabled
☑ Errors are easily detected ☑ Expensive
☑ The more devices, the harder the maintenance
☑ If central switch/hub fails, network fails
Hybrid Topology
This type is a mixture of two or more topologies. You may
have a department in the office using ring topology while the
other uses a star topology. This is called a Hybrid Topology.

It can combine even more than two topologies. Both the

advantages and disadvantages are included when you
create a hybrid, thus, ideal for a non-conventional set-up.

PROS
☑ Reliable CONS
☑ Easy troubleshooting ☑ Complex
☑ Errors are easily detected ☑ Expensive
☑ Easily scalable
☑ Flexible
