3- Network components
Network has three main components
End devices (servers and hosts)
- Source of applications (network aware applications)
- ex: HTTP (Hyper Text Transmission Protocol),
FTP (File Transfer Protocol),
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3)
Telnet
Network Devices
- Devices that interconnect different computers together
- ex: Repeaters, hub, bridge, switch, router, NIC and modems
Connectivity
- Media that physically connect the computers and network devices
- ex: Wireless and cables

End devices

End devices:
Computers (work stations, laptops, file servers, web servers)
Network printers
VoIP phones
Security cameras
Mobile handheld devices (such as wireless barcode scanners, PDAs)

End devices are referred to as

hosts.

A host device is either the source or destination of a message.

Media

Network media: The medium provides the channel over which the
message travels from source to destination.
Metallic wires - encoding into patterns of electrical impulses.
Fiber optics encoding into pulses of light (infrared or visible light ranges)
Wireless encoding patterns of electromagnetic waves.

Ring Topology
A ring topology connects one host to the next and the last host to the first.
This creates a physical ring of cable.
If the first host needs to send data to the last host, the data must path
through all the hosts before reaching the end host.
Ex.: Token Ring, & FDDI

Mesh Topology
A mesh topology is implemented to provide as much
protection as possible from interruption of service.
Each host has its own connections to all other hosts.
Although the Internet has multiple paths to any one
location, it does not adopt the full mesh topology.

5- Network Types
LAN (Local Area Network):
It is a group of network components that work within small area.
It characterized by high data speeds (up to 10Gbps) using:
Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, GigaEthernet,10Gigabit Ethernet
and ATM.
MAN (Metropolitan Area Network):
It is a group of LANs that are interconnected within small area.
It characterized by very high data speeds (up to 40Gbps) using:
Metro Ethernet, ATM over SONET and SDH.
WAN (Wide Area Network):
It is a group of LANs that are interconnected within large area
It characterized by slow data speeds (up to 155Mbps & 622Mbps
using:
analog dial-up, digital dial-up (ISDN), leased lines, X.25, DSL,
Frame-Relay & ATM.

An individual network usually spans a single geographical area, providing
services and applications to people within a common organizational
structure, such as a single business, campus or region.

A framework (guideline) for network implementation and
troubleshooting
Divides complex functions into simpler components
Importance of reference model:
Vendor interoperability standardization.
Better understanding of data transfer

Reference model types :


OSI (Open System Interconnection ).
TCP/IP (DOD Model)

Reference Models & Interoperability problem.


In the mid-1980s, the network technologies that had
emerged had been created with a variety of different
hardware and software implementations.
Each company that created network hardware and
software used its own company standards.
Consequently, many of the new network technologies
were incompatible with each other.
Need:
Achieve open interconnection between multi vendors

OSI Model
It standardizes network
components to allow multiple
vendor development and
support.
It allows different types of
network hardware and software
to communicate with each other.

S/W

It prevents changes in one layer


from affecting other layers.
It divides network
communication into smaller
parts to make learning it easier
to understand.
