Lecture 8 Summary Introduction to Computer Networks A computer network is an interconnected group of computers using wired or wireless connections. It allows sharing of resources such as data, printers, and applications. Networks can be classified as wired or wireless based on their mode of connectivity. Types of Networks and Topologies Network types include LAN, MAN, WAN, and PAN, each serving different scales and purposes. Common topologies are star, bus, and ring, each with unique advantages and use cases. Network Architectures Client-server networks have a centralized server managing resources, while peer-to-peer networks distribute resources among all nodes. P2P networks are simpler and cost-effective but less secure. Transmission Media and Protocols Data transmission occurs over media like twisted-pair cables, fiber optics, and wireless technologies. Protocols such as TCP/IP, HTTP, and FTP ensure efficient and secure communication. Internet and WWW The Internet connects millions globally, governed by bodies like ICANN. The WWW enables multimedia interactions, with HTML and browsers facilitating website navigation and creation. Advanced Questions Q1. Question based on Lecture 8 content. Q2.
