Study Notes

Computer networking helps to share information at high speed and is more efficient and less expensive than traditional communication methods.
Disadvantages of computer networking include high initial investment for hardware and software, security risks if proper precautions are not taken, constant administration required, and frequent server failures and cable faults.
Hub is a device that acts as a distribution center for network connections, receiving requests from computers and transmitting them to the entire network.
Switches are small devices that connect computers, printers, and other hardware devices to a network, enabling devices to communicate with each other and with other networks.
Routers help to connect with multiple networks, allowing users to share a single internet connection with multiple devices and saving costs.
PAN (Personal Area Network) is a computer network formed around a person, typically consisting of a computer, mobile, or personal digital assistant, offering short-range communication solutions but with limited distance and potential for bad connections to other networks.
LAN (Local Area Network) is a group of computer and peripheral devices connected in a limited area, allowing for sharing of resources and reducing hardware costs, but requiring constant administration and offering less privacy.
WAN (Wide Area Network) is a computer network spread across a large geographical area, allowing for communication between business offices and offering lower security compared to other types of networks.
Star topology is a network topology where all computers connect through a central node, offering ease of troubleshooting and modification but requiring extra hardware and heavy network traffic.
Ring topology is a network topology where every device has exactly two neighboring devices for communication, offering simpler cabling and increased fault tolerance but requiring specialized hardware and increased complexity.
Hubs and switches are important components of computer networking, with hubs distributing network connections to multiple devices and switches controlling the flow of data between devices.
Routers help to connect with multiple networks and provide security features like firewalls and encryption to protect data.
LAN (Local Area Network) is a widely used type of computer network, allowing for sharing of resources and data between computers and reducing hardware costs.
WAN (Wide Area Network) is used to connect business offices across large geographical areas, allowing for easier communication and collaboration.
Star topology is a common network topology for LAN networks, offering ease of configuration and reliability but requiring additional hardware.
Ring topology is a less common network topology, offering increased fault tolerance and simpler cabling but requiring specialized hardware and increased complexity.
