Study Notes
Computer Network Basics
- Devices that can be included as nodes in a computer network include computers, printers, servers, routers, switches, and other network-enabled devices.
Communication Protocols
- Common communication protocols used by computers in a network include TCP/IP, HTTP, FTP, and DNS.
Network Classification by Transmission Medium
- Computer networks can be classified into three categories by transmission medium: wired networks, wireless networks, and hybrid networks.
Node Identification
- Domain names serve as memorable labels for the nodes in a computer network, making it easier for users to access and communicate with devices on the network.
Network Applications and Services
- Computer networks support a wide range of applications and services, including file sharing, printer sharing, email, online gaming, and remote access to resources and services.
Network Classification by Transmission Medium (alternate formulation)
- Computer networks can be classified into three categories based on the transmission medium used to carry signals: wired networks (use physical media such as copper or fiber optic cables), wireless networks (use radio waves or infrared signals), and hybrid networks (combine wired and wireless connections).
