-
Types of Operating Systems:
-
Batch Operating Systems:
- Executes jobs in batches without user interaction.
- Example: Early IBM OS.
-
Time-Sharing Operating Systems:
- Allows multiple users to interact with the computer simultaneously.
- Example: UNIX.
-
Distributed Operating Systems:
- Manages a group of distinct computers and makes them appear as a single coherent system.
- Example: Google’s Android OS.
-
Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS):
- Processes data as it comes in, usually without buffering delays.
- Example: VxWorks.
-
Network Operating Systems:
- Provides services to computers connected over a network.
- Example: Windows Server.
-
Embedded Operating Systems:
- Designed for specific hardware with limited resources (e.g., IoT devices).
- Example: FreeRTOS.
-
-
Popular Operating Systems:
- Windows: Widely used in personal and business environments.
- macOS: Developed by Apple for Mac computers.
- Linux: Open-source OS, known for flexibility and security.
- Unix: A powerful multiuser OS, foundational for many modern systems.
-
Key Components:
- Kernel: Core part of the OS, manages system resources.
- Shell: Interface for user commands (command-line interface or GUI).
- Device Drivers: Specialized programs that allow the OS to communicate with hardware.
-
Trends in Operating Systems:
- Increasing focus on security and privacy.
- Adoption of cloud-based OS and services.

Operating Systems Overview
- Software managing both hardware and software resources, providing services for programs.
Primary Functions of Operating Systems
- Resource Management: Coordinates CPU, memory, storage, and I/O devices for efficient operation.
- Process Management: Oversees the life cycle of processes, including creation, scheduling, and termination.
- Memory Management: Allocates and deallocates memory space dynamically as required by applications.
- File System Management: Organizes data and manages storage systems for files.
- User Interface: Facilitates user interaction via command line or graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
Types of Operating Systems
- Batch Operating Systems: Process jobs in batches without user feedback, exemplified by early IBM OS.
- Time-Sharing Operating Systems: Enable simultaneous user interactions with the system, such as UNIX.
- Distributed Operating Systems: Connect a network of computers, presenting them as a unified system; an example is Google’s Android OS.
- Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS): Handle data instantly, avoiding buffering delays; VxWorks is a notable example.
- Network Operating Systems: Deliver services across computers on a network, with Windows Server as a commonly used example.
- Embedded Operating Systems: Tailored for specific devices with limited resources, like IoT devices, with FreeRTOS as an example.

- Metropolitan Area Network (MAN): Designed for city-wide or large campus coverage.
- Personal Area Network (PAN): Connects personal devices within a short range, typically via Bluetooth.
Network Topologies
- Star Topology: All devices connect to a central hub or switch for communication.
- Bus Topology: Devices share a single communication line, reducing costs but increasing collision risks.
- Ring Topology: Each device connects to two others in a circular configuration, promoting orderly data flow.
- Mesh Topology: Devices are interconnected; can be fully interconnected or partially connected for redundancy.
Networking Devices
- Router: Links different networks and manages data packet routing.
- Switch: Operates within a LAN to connect devices, directing data to specific destinations using MAC addresses.
- Hub: Basic device that connects multiple devices, indiscriminately broadcasting data to all ports.
- Modem: Converts digital data to analog signals for internet connectivity and vice versa.
Network Protocols
- TCP/IP: Essential protocol suite for internet communications.
- HTTP/HTTPS: Protocols for web page transfer, with HTTPS providing secure access.
- FTP: Facilitates file transfer between computers on a network.
- SMTP: Protocol for sending emails across networks.
Network Security
- Firewalls: Protect networks by monitoring and controlling traffic based on security rules.
- Encryption: Secures data by encoding it to ensure confidentiality during transmission.
- VPN: Establishes a secure, encrypted connection over the internet to safeguard user privacy.
IP Addressing
- IPv4: Uses 32-bit addresses, with a total of approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses.
- IPv6: Employs 128-bit addresses, vastly expanding available address space.
Network Services
- DHCP: Automatically allocates IP addresses to devices, simplifying network configuration.
- DNS: Converts domain names into IP addresses for easier navigation.
Wireless Networking
- Wi-Fi: Allows wireless connections to a network, eliminating the need for cables.
- Bluetooth: Enables short-range wireless communication between devices.
Emerging Technologies
- 5G: Represents the next generation of mobile technology, enhancing speed and reducing latency.
- IoT (Internet of Things): Integrates numerous interconnected devices that communicate and share data.
Conclusion
- Understanding these core concepts provides a solid foundation in computer networking principles and practices.
