Computer Networks
Computer network connects two or more autonomous computers.
The computers can be geographically located anywhere.

LAN, MAN & WAN
Introduction to Computer Networks
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)

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.

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).

Computers: Clients and ServersIn 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.

Copper Media: Coaxial CableCoaxial cable is a copper-cored cable surrounded by a heavy shielding and is used to connect computers in a network.
Outer conductor shields the inner conductor from picking up stray signal from the air.
High bandwidth but lossy channel.
Repeater is used to regenerate the weakened signals.

Copper Media: Twisted PairTwisted-pair is a type of cabling that is used for telephone communications and most modern Ethernet networks.
A pair of wires forms a circuit that can transmit data. The pairs are twisted to provide protection against crosstalk, the noise generated by adjacent pairs.
There are two basic types, shielded twisted-pair (STP) and unshielded twisted-pair (UTP).
Physical Media

Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
Physical Media
21
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)Consists of 4 pairs (8 wires) of insulated copper wires typically about 1 mm thick.
The wires are twisted together in a helical form.
Twisting reduces the interference between pairs of wires.
High bandwidth and High attenuation channel.
Flexible and cheap cable.
Category rating based on number of twists per inch and the material used
CAT 3, CAT 4, CAT 5, Enhanced CAT 5, CAT 6 and now CAT 6+.

Fiber Media
Optical fibers use light to send information through the optical medium.
It uses the principal of total internal reflection.
Modulated light transmissions are used to transmit the signal.

Total Internal Reflection
Physical Media
25
Fiber MediaLight travels through the optical media by the way of total internal reflection.
Modulation scheme used is intensity modulation.
Two types of Fiber media :MultimodeSinglemode
Multimode Fiber can support less bandwidth than Singlemode Fiber.
Singlemode Fiber has a very small core and carry only one beam of light. It can support Gbps data rates over > 100 Km without using repeaters.
