Types of NetworksTypes of Networks

There are basically two types of networks:

Local-area networks (LAN): ( 10 m - 1km )LAN are usually designed to cover a small geographical

area and are generally used in an office environment.

Wide-area network (WAN): ( over 100km )WAN are usually distributed over a large geographical

area (such as the United States).

Network TechnologiesNetwork Technologies

Point-to-Point Technology Connections between

individual pairs of machines.

Message may pass through many pairs of point-to-point connections to get from source to destination.

Often machines may have multiple point-to-point connections.

Large (geographically) networks.

TopologiesTopologies

There are two kinds of Topologies:

The physical topology of a network refers to the configuration of cables, computers, and other peripherals.

The Logical topology is the method that used to pass the information.

Topologies ( continue… )Topologies ( continue… )

Main types of physical topologies : Star brunch from hub. Ring or loop. Bus or row. linear bus Tree .

11

Star Networks:Star Networks:

• A network with radial topology in which a central the point to which all other nodes join.

• Signals are transmitted from the sending computer through the central node to all computers on the network.

• Its centralized resources and management. However, because each computer is connected to a central point, this topology requires a great deal of cable in a large network installation.

• if the central point fails, the entire network goes down.

12

Star Networks: ( continue…)Star Networks: ( continue…)

Advantages of a star topology: • Easy to install and wire. • No disruptions to the network connecting or removing devices. • Easy to detect faults and to remove parts.

Disadvantages of a star topology: • Requires more cable length than a linear topology. • If the hub or concentrator fails, nodes attached are disabled. • More expensive than linear bus topologies because of the cost of the concentrators.

13

Ring Networks:Ring Networks:

Ring architecture connects each node in a closed loop, Signals ravel from one node to the next in a single direction around the loop.

Advantages of a ring topology:-• It is more scalable because the point-to-point

links between nodes dose not limit the number of nodes in the ring.

Point-to-point: - A direct link between two objects in a network.

Disadvantages of a ring topology:-• A failure of any link between a node pair

takes the bus down and prevents communication by other nodes.

14

Linear Bus:Linear Bus:

• A linear bus topology consists of a main run of cable with a terminator at each end.

• To understand how computer communication on bus you need to be familiar with three concepts:

• Sending the signal• Signal bounce• The terminator

15

Linear Bus:Linear Bus: (continue…) (continue…)

Advantage of a linear bus topology: Easy to connect computer or peripheral to a linear bus. Requires less cable length than star topology. The bus is simple, reliable in very small networks, easy to use, and

easy to understand. The bus requires the least amount of cable to connect the

computers together and is therefore less expensive than other cabling arrangement.

It is easy to extend a bus.

Disadvantages of a linear bus topology: Entire network shuts down if there is a break in the main cable. It difficult to troubleshoot the bus.

16

Tree Topology:Tree Topology:

• A tree topology combines characteristics of linear bus and star topologies.

• It consists of groups of star- configured workstation connected to a linear but backbone cable.

• Tree topologies allow for the expansion of an existing network, and enable schools to configure a network to meet their needs.

17

Tree Topology: ( continue…)Tree Topology: ( continue…)

Advantages of a tree topology: point-to point wiring for individual segments. Supported by several hardware and software venders.

Disadvantages of a tree topology:• Overall length of each segment is limited by the type of

cabling used.

• If the backbone line breaks, the entire segment goes down.

• More difficult to configure and wire than other topologies.

18

Parts of a Networks:Parts of a Networks:

• Servers: Provide shared resources to users

• Clients: Use the shared resources from servers

• Media: Device for connection

• Shared peripherals: Resources provided by servers such as printers, modems

• Shared resources: Files, graphics.

21

Network Devices:Network Devices:

Repeaters• Used to connect together two or more Ethernet

segments• Various media types• Signal quality begins to deteriorate as segments

exceed their maximum length

Hubs • Signal amplification required to allow a segment to

be extended a greater distance• Ethernet hubs are necessary in star topologies

22

Network Devices: (continue…)Network Devices: (continue…)

Switches• Expansion of the concept in Ethernet bridging

• Link multiple networks together

• Two basic architectures

– Cut-through examines the packet destination address only before forwarding it on to its destination segment

– Store-and-forward switch accepts and analyzes the entire packet before forwarding it to its destination.

• Level-3 Switch has IP routing capabilities

23


Bridges• Connect separate networks together

– Different networks types (such as Ethernet and Fast Ethernet)

– Networks of the same type • Bridges map the Ethernet addresses of the nodes

residing on each network segment

24


• Bridges: (continue…)• Allow only necessary traffic to pass through the

bridge– Bridge determines the destination and source

segments– If the segments are the same, the packet is

dropped ("filtered"); if the segments are different, then the packet is "forwarded" to the correct segment.

– Additionally, bridges do not forward bad or misaligned packets

25


Routers• Filter out network traffic by specific protocol rather than by

packet address

• Routers also divide networks logically instead of physically

• IP router can divide a network into various subnets so that only traffic destined for particular IP addresses can pass between segments.

26


Network Adapters: A network adapter is the hardware installed in computers that enables them to communicateon a network.

They are small and lightweight and can be connected to standard connectors on the back of notebook computers so that the computer and network adapter can be easily transported from network to network

27


Network Adapters: (continue…) The hardware used to make connections between network

adapters and different transmission media depends on the type of medium used.

28

Network CablingNetwork Cabling

Cable can be recovered in plastic, rubber, be careful to get the correct type of cable for the type of network card used.

Shielded.

Unshielded.• Fiber optic
