NETWORK
• A network is a group of devices (nodes) connected by
media links. A node can be a computer, printer or any
other device capable of sending and receiving data
generated by other nodes on the netwörk. The links that
connect the node are called communication channels.

Uses :
Peer-to-peer networking has two primary uses are:-
There are two quite different types of LAN : wired LANs and wireless
LANs. As the name simply, wired LANs utilised (fixed) wiring such as
twisted pair or coaxial cable - as the transmission medium, while
wireless LAN utilised Radio or light waves. Examples of LANs are -
• SERVER
• CLIENT
SERVER
• Ring Network
• Star Network
• Mesh Network
Bus Network
• In networking, a method of connections of
computers that allows all network nodes to
receive the same message through the
network cable at the same time.
Advantage of Bus Network
• Short cable length and simple wiring layout.
Because there is a single common data path
connecting all nodes, the bus topology allows a
very short cable length to be used.
• The fact that failure of one node will effect all others
has serious implication for fault diagnosis.
(i) Security/Encapsulation
A system can limit the kinds of interactions
that a user can have with the entire system. For
example, a bank can allow an user access to his own
account through an automated teller machine (ATM)
but not to banks entire database.
(ii) Distributed Databases:
A single system need not have storage capacity for
entire database. So we can use different computer to
store database. For example, the World Wide Web
gives access to information that is actually stored
anywhere on the Internet.
(iii) Fast Problem Solving:
Multiple computers working on segments of a problem
concurrently can solve the problem faster than a single
working alone.
