information over the web.
2. IP address identifies a computer location with a unique set of numbers.
3. The origin of Internet devised from the concept of ARPANET.
4. Computer network is a network of computers and servers created by connecting them
through the internet.
5. The An intranet is a private network that belongs to a particular organization

7. extranet is a private network that securely shares internal information and operations
of a firm with authorized people outside the firm without giving access to the
company's entire network.
8. Extranet is set up in the form of a Virtual Private Network as it is prone to security threats due
to the use of the internet to connect outsiders to an organization's intranet.
9. To provide more security to Intranet, the following two measures are also taken by
an organization: intranet and (10) Extranets

Discussion: Explain the following briefly.

1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of internet?
ADVANTAGES
Source of Information:
It is the best source of a variety of
information. Now even students of
colleges and universities mainly
depend on it to complete not only
their assignments but also to keep
themselves up-to-date. There is no
better source of research other than
the internet. We can find the latest
trends, we can talk to specialists
without actually visiting them, and
we can also get professional assistance
through the internet.
Source of Entertainment:
Online games, chatting, surfing,
music, movies, dramas, and TV
shows are becoming the most
common sources of entertainment.
DISADVANTAGE
A Waste of Time:
Most people argue that spending a
lot of time using the internet is bad
which leads to obesity in the young
generation.
Not Safe Place for Children:
If children are allowed to use the
internet then parents become
worried if they are spending much
time on the internet.
Privacy Exposure:
Because of the hacker's community
now it’s very easy to decipher
someone’s chat or email messages.
As we know data is transmitted in
the form of packets, hackers sniff
that packets and easily reconstruct.

Keep Informed: Online Threatening or Harassment:

Internet is a source of the newest
news because there are hundreds
and thousands of news-groups and
services which keep you informed
with every tick of the clock.
If someone manages to get your
personal IDs or email address then it
becomes easier to harass in chat
rooms, online messages, and through
emails.

Online Shopping:
Internet shopping is becoming
popular because of virtual shops
where you can buy anything you
want and need without going out of
the home. Virtual shops are earning
much money recently.

2. What is the difference between intranet and extranet?

Ans: An intranet is a network where employees can create content, communicate, collaborate, and
develop the company culture. Meanwhile an extranet provides controlled access to authorized customers,
vendors, partners, or others outside the company.

Answer the following. You may use another sheet for your answer.
Define the following:

1. Computer network
Ans: Computer networking refers to interconnected computing devices that can exchange data and
share resources with each other. These networked devices use a system of rules, called
communications protocols, to transmit information over physical or wireless technologies.
2. Local Area Network
Ans: The computers in a LAN connect to each other via TCP/IP ethernet or Wi-Fi. A LAN is normally
exclusive to an organization, such as a school, office, association or church.
3. Wide Area Network
Ans: WANs can facilitate communication, the sharing of information and much more between devices
from around the world through a WAN provider.
4. Metropolitan Area Network
Ans: A MAN is larger than a local area network (LAN) but smaller than a wide area network (WAN).
5. Topologies
Ans: Physical network topology examples include star, mesh, tree, ring, point-to-point, circular,
hybrid, and bus topology networks, each consisting of different configurations of nodes and links.

Discussion: Explain the following briefly.

1. Differentiate the 4 types of computer networks. Provide an example.
Ans: The vital computer network is divided into four types based on their size and functions. They
are LAN, MAN, PAN, and WAN. Here LAN stands for Local Area Network, MAN stands for
Metropolitan Area Network, Personal Area Network is abbreviated into PAN whereas WAN is expanded
as Wide Area Network.
