Study Notes
Internet of Everything (IoE)
- IoE brings together people, data, process, and things to make networked connections more relevant and valuable.
- IoE enables new capabilities, richer experiences, and unprecedented economic opportunities for businesses, individuals, and countries.
Key Components of IoE
- People: Connecting people in more relevant, valuable ways.
- Data: Converting data into intelligence to make better decisions.
- Process: Delivering the right information to the right person (or machine) at the right time.
- Things: Physical devices and objects connected to the Internet and each other for intelligent decision making (also known as Internet of Things (IoT)).
Network Components
- Network infrastructure consists of three broad categories of network components: devices, media, and services.
- Network devices: intermediary devices, end devices, and network media.
Open Systems Interconnection Model (OSI)
- The OSI model groups communication functions into seven logical layers.
Human Networks
- A network consists of two or more entities, or objects, sharing resources and information.
- Examples of human networks: peer network, family network, and restaurant network.
Computer Networks
- A computer network consists of two or more computing devices connected to share resources and information.
- Computer networks can be classified by their geography: Local Area Network (LAN), Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), and Wide Area Network (WAN).
Importance of Networks in Our Lives
- Networks support the way we learn, communicate, work, and play.
Internet
- The internet is a service that interconnects all smart communication devices with a valid address.
- The internet is a worldwide interconnection of devices.
Network Devices
- Hub: operates at Layer 1, receiving and sending data.
- Switch: operates at Layers 1 and 2, receiving data, checking MAC addresses, and sending data.
- Router: operates at Layers 1, 2, and 3, receiving data, checking MAC addresses, checking IP addresses, and sending data.
Server
- A web server is a computer that stores web server software and a website's component files.
- A mail server is a computer that can handle and deliver e-mails over a network.
This quiz provides an overview of the Internet of Everything (IoE) concept, which combines people, data, processes, and things to create valuable networked connections. It explores how IoE turns information into actions, leading to new capabilities, enhanced experiences, and economic opportunities.
