Study Notes
Network Resource Sharing
- Individuals like June, Wally, and the Beaver need to acquire personal laser printers without a shared network.
- Resources such as internet connections and hard drives can be shared among multiple users on a network.
Protocols in Networking
- A single protocol for all devices is ideal but not currently feasible; multiple protocols exist, each with unique features.
- User Datagram Protocol (UDP) operates as a "fire-and-forget" protocol, assuming that sent data arrives intact.
- Confirmation of data delivery is handled by upper-layer protocols, not by UDP itself.
Ring Topology
- In a ring topology, computers are interconnected in a circular format.
- Data packets travel around the ring from one computer to another.
- Each computer examines incoming packets to determine if the message is meant for it; if not, the packet is forwarded to the next computer.
- A hub or switch is unnecessary for this network setup, as each device directly communicates in the ring.
