Study Notes
Computer Networks Overview
- Computer networks are used to facilitate communication, data exchange, and resource sharing between devices.
Nodes of a Computer Network
- Nodes in a computer network are the devices connected to the network, such as computers, servers, printers, and routers.
Hostnames in a Computer Network
- Hostnames serve as unique identifiers for nodes on a network, allowing devices to be easily accessed and addressed.
Classification of Computer Networks
- Computer networks are classified based on their geographical scope, size, and topology, including:
- Local Area Networks (LANs)
- Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs)
- Wide Area Networks (WANs)
- Wireless Networks (WLANs)
Communication Protocols in a Computer Network
- Communication protocols, such as Internet Protocol (IP), serve to establish and manage connections between devices on a network, facilitating data transmission and routing.
