 What is Computer Networks?

A computer network is a set of

devices connected through links. A
node can be computer, printer, or any
other device capable of sending or
receiving the data. The links
connecting the nodes are known as
communication channels.

 Computer Network Types
(Geographical Area wise)
A computer network is a group of
computers linked to each other that
enables the computer to communicate with
another computer and share their
resources, data, and applications.
A computer network can be categorized by
their size.
•Local Area Network is a group of
computers connected to each other
in a small area such as building,
Local Area office.
Network •LAN is used for connecting two or
more personal computers through
a communication medium such as
twisted pair, coaxial cable, etc.
•A Wide Area Network is a
network that extends over a
Wide Area large geographical area such as
states or countries.
Network •A Wide Area Network is quite
bigger network than the LAN.
•A metropolitan area network
is a network that covers a
larger geographic area by
Metropolitan interconnecting a different
Area Network LAN to form a larger network.
•Government agencies use
MAN to connect to the citizens
and private industries.
•Personal Area Network is a
network arranged within an

a range of 10 meters.

 In Simplex mode, the communication is unidirectional, i.e., the
data flow in one direction.
A device can only send the data but cannot receive it or it can
Transmission receive the data but cannot send the data.

modes

In a Half-duplex channel, direction can be reversed, i.e., the station can

transmit and receive the data as well.
Messages flow in both the directions, but not at the same time.

In Full duplex mode, the communication is bi-directional, i.e., the data flow in
both the directions.
Both the stations can send and receive the message simultaneously.

 What is Network Topology?
Topology defines the structure of the network of how all the
components are interconnected to each other.
