What is a Network?
A network consists of 2 or more computers

connected together, and they can

communicate and share resources (e.g.
information)

How many kinds of

Networks?
Depending on ones perspective, we
can classify networks in different
ways

Based on transmission media: Wired

(UTP, coaxial cables, fiber-optic cables)
and Wireless
Based on network size: LAN and WAN
(and MAN)
Based on topology (connectivity): Bus,
Star, Ring..

Types of network
based on network size, there are two types of
network.
(1)Local area network
(2)Wide area network

Local Area Network

(LAN)
Small network, short distance

A room, a floor, a building

Limited by no. of computers and
distance covered
Usually one kind of technology
throughout the LAN
Serve a department within an
organization
Examples:
Network inside the Student
Computer Room

Wide Area Network

(WAN)
Wide Area Network (WAN)

A network that uses long-range

telecommunication links to connect
2 or more LANs/computers housed
in different places far apart.
Towns, states, countries
Examples:
Network of our Campus
Internet
Broadband Cable Network

LAN & WAN : comparison

LAN
Typical speed:
10 mbps to 10
gbps
TYPICAL COST:
1 crore for
ahundred node
lan (one time
cost)

WAN
Typical speed:
64 mbps to 8
mbps
TYPICAL COST:
30 lakhs
(recurring cost)

Network technology:
Circuit switching
Packet switching
Virtual circuit approach
Datagram approach

Circuit switching
A dedicated communication path is required

between two station.

The path follows a fixed sequence of
intermediate links.
A logical channel gets defined on each
physical links.

Drawbacks:
1.Channel capacity gets dedicated during the
entired duration of communication.
- acceptable for voice communication.
2. There is an initial delay.
-for a connection establishment.

Packet switching:
1.Morden form of long distance data
communication.
-network resources are not dedicated .
-A link can be shared.
2.The basic technology has evolved over a time.
-basic concept has remained the same.
-widely used for long distance
communication.

Virtual circuit approach

In virtual circuit approach
-route is established a priori.
-packet forwarded from one node to the next
using
store and forward scheme.
-only the virtual circuit number need to be
carried by
a packet.

Datagram approach
Every intermediate node has to take routing

decisions dynamically.
Every packets must contain source and
destination addresses.
Problems:
- if a node crashes momentarily, all of its
queued packets are lost.
-duplicate packets may also be generated.
