There are three basic theories of communication: electronic theory, social environment theory, and rhetorical theory. The electronic theory emphasizes technical problems of transmitting a message and views communication as a linear process. The social environment theory considers the social situation and rules within an environment. The rhetorical theory views communication as a circular process where the audience provides a response to the message.
There are several techniques that can be used to evaluate concepts, including feasibility judgment, GO/NO-GO screening, basic decision matrices, weighted decision matrices, advanced decision matrices, and analytic hierarchy processes. Each technique has strengths and weaknesses depending on the amount of information available and the complexity of the concepts. Concept evaluation aims to identify the highest potential concepts with limited resources by systematically comparing alternatives against criteria.

It defines a computer network as two or more connected computers that allow people to share files, printers, and other resources. There are two main types of networks based on architecture: client-server networks with a dedicated server and peer-to-peer networks without hierarchy. Other key topics covered include network topologies (bus, star, ring, etc.), transmission media (guided, unguided), protocols, and modes of communication (simplex, half-duplex, full-duplex).
The document discusses computer networks and the data link layer. It provides classifications of computer networks including PAN, LAN, MAN and WAN. It discusses the goals of computer networks which include resource sharing, reliability, cost savings, performance and communication. It then discusses point-to-point subnets and their possible topologies. Finally, it discusses the services provided by the data link layer, including encapsulation, frame synchronization, error control and logical link control.
A computer network is a set of connected computers. Computers on a network are called nodes. The connection between computers can be done via cabling, most commonly the Ethernet cable, or wireless through radio waves. Connected computers can share resources, like access to the Internet, printers, file servers, and others. A network is a multipurpose connection, which allows a single computer to do more.

A computer network is a digital telecommunications network that allows network nodes to share resources. In computer networks, computer devices exchange data with each other using connections (data links) between nodes. These data links are established via network cables such as wire or fiber optics , or wireless media such as Wi-Fi .
Network computing devices that launch, route , and terminate data are called network nodes. [1] Nodes are often identified by network addresses and can include network hosts such as personal computers , phones , and servers , as well as network hardware such as routers and switches. Two such devices can be said to be interconnected when one can exchange information with the other, whether they are directly connected to each other or not. In most cases, application-specific communication protocols are layered (i.e., carry a payload ) over other general communication protocols . This formidable collection of information technology requires skilled network managers to keep all network systems running well.

A computer network connects two or more computers together to allow sharing of resources like files, printers and bandwidth. The main components of a network include computers, networking interface cards, connection medium like cables, and network operating system software. Common network types are LANs for local connections and WANs for wide area connections between locations. Protocols like TCP/IP are used to allow communication between different computers and networks. Ethernet is a common standard for LAN connections using cables like twisted pair or fiber optic.
Networking connects computing devices together to share data. It allows devices to communicate through a mix of hardware like cables and wireless equipment, and software like communication protocols. Networks can be categorized based on their geographic reach - local area networks (LANs) span a small area like a home or office, while wide area networks (WANs) connect across cities, states or globally. The largest public WAN is the Internet. Networks also use common protocols like TCP/IP to define the language devices use to communicate. While wired networks were traditionally used, wireless networking has become more popular for new installations.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of this chapter you will be able to understand :
Introduction of Network
Types of Network
Advantage of Network
Function of Different OSI Layers
Inter Networking
TCP/IP
10.1. INTRODUCTION
A network consists of two or more computers that are linked together in order to share
the resources, such as printers, exchange files among computers, with the help of electronic
communications. The computers on a network may be linked by cables, telephone lines,
radio waves, satellites, or infrared light beams etc.
The computer that provides resources to other computers on a network is known as
server. In the network the individual computers, which access shared network resources,
are known as workstations or nodes.
L
A computer network is a network, in which group of computers and devices
interconnected by communications channels that facilitate communications
among users and allow users to share resources.
Network follows the distributed computer processing in which work is processed by
many computers i.e. a single job is not loaded to the single computer which is distributed
to several computers.
10.2. GOALS OF COMPUTER NETWORKS
The goals of computer network are as following:
2. 10-2
COMPUTER NETWORK
1. Resource sharing. The first goal of networking is resource sharing. It permits sharing
of resources which are available on the network without the regard to the physical location
of the resource and the users.
2. High reliability. The second goal is to provide high reliability. This is achieved by
having alternative source of resources. For example, all files could be replicated on two
or more machines, so if one of them is unavailable the other copies could be available.
3. Saving money. The third goal is saving money. Small computers have a much better
price/performance ratio than larger ones. Mainframes are roughly a factor of ten times
faster than the fastest single chip microprocessors, but they cost thousand times more.
This imbalance has caused many system designers to build systems consisting of powerful
personal computers, one per user, with data kept on one or more shared file server
machines. This goal leads to networks with many computers located in the same building.
Such a network is called a LAN (local area network).
4. Increased the systems performances. The fourth goal of computer networks is to
increase the systems performances as the work load distributed, by just adding more
computers to the networks.
5. Communication medium. Computer networks provide a powerful communication
medium. A file that was updated or modified on a network can be seen by the other
users on the network immediately.
6. Distributed computer processing. The distribute computer processing which one
work is processed by many computers i.e. a single job is not loaded to the single computer
which erase distributed to several computer.
10.3. TYPE OF NETWORK
Computer Network can be divided into two different methods :
1. According to Range.
2. According to topology.
10.3.1. According to Range
According to range network can be dived into three parts: Local Area Network (LAN),
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), Wide Area Network (WAN).
(a) Local Area Network (LAN). LAN is used in small office building or in a campus.
LAN network can be two or more computers are connected with switches as shown in
Fig. 10.1.
3. 10-3
COMPUTER NETWORK
Fig. 10.1. Local Area Network.
In this network those computers and peripherals are connected which shares the data
internally. Mostly, LAN uses same type of transmission media. LAN can be of two
types: Wired LAN and Wireless LAN.
(b) Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a
network that connects two or more local area networks or campus area networks together
as shown in the Fig. 10.2.
Fig. 10.2. Metropolitan Area Network.
4. 10-4
COMPUTER NETWORK
It does not extend outside the boundaries of the immediate town/city. Routers, switches
and hubs are connected to create a metropolitan area network.
(c) Wide Area Network (WAN). A wide area network (WAN) is a computer network
that covers a broad area as shown in the Fig. 10.3.
Fig. 10.3. Wide Area Network.
It is network whose communications links cross metropolitan, regional, or national
boundaries.
In other words, a WAN is a data communications network that covers a broad geographic
area such as one city to another and one country to another country and that often uses
transmission facilities provided by common carriers, such as telephone companies. The
example of this type of network is internet.
10.3.2. According to Topology
The term topology in the context of network refers to the way the computers or
workstations in the network are linked together. According to the physical arrangements
of workstations and nature of work, topology network can be dived in to: Bus topology
network, Ring topology network, Star topology network and Mesh topology network
(a) Bus topology network. In bus topology all workstations are connected to a single
communication line called bus as shown in Fig. 10.4. In this type of network topology
there is no central node as in star topology. Transmission from any station travels the
length of the bus in both directions and can be received by all workstations. The advantage
of the bus topology is that
โข It is quite easy to set up.
โข If one station of the topology fails it does not affect the entire system.
The disadvantage of bus topology is that any break in the bus is difficult to identify.
In the bus topology we use only single cable to connect many computers on nodes in a
network.
5. 10-5
COMPUTER NETWORK
Fig. 10.4. Bus Topology Network.
(b) Ring topology network. This is that network in which computer are connect in the
form of close network. A ring topology is a LAN architecture that consists of a series of
devices or workstation connected to one another by unidirectional transmission links to
form a ring as shown in the Fig. 10.5.
Fig. 10.5. Ring Network.
Whenever the message is passed the message contains the information plus address of
the node, the node before receiving the message checks the message is for the current
node. This network is very fast and expensive.
The advantage of this topology is that any signal transmitted on the network passes
through all the nodes. The disadvantage of ring network is that the breakdown of any
one station on the ring can disable the entire system.
(c) Star topology network. In star topology a number of workstations or nodes are
directly linked to a central node as shown in Fig. 10.6. Any communication between
stations on a star LAN must pass through the central node. There is bi-directional
communication between various workstations. The central node controls all the activities
of the nodes. The advantages of the star topology are:
6. 10-6
COMPUTER NETWORK
โข It offers flexibility of adding or deleting of workstations from the network.
โข Breakdown of one station does not affect any other devices on the network.
Fig. 10.6. Star Topology.
Signal travels through the hub to all other computers, it requires more cable. If hub goes
down, entire network goes down. If one computer goes down, the network functions
normally most scalable and reconfigurable topology. The star topology is it uses n(n โ 1)
wires to connect all the n nodes.
(d) Mesh topology network. The mesh topology connects each computer on the
network to the others as shown in Fig. 10.7.
Fig. 10.7. Mesh Topology.
7. COMPUTER NETWORK
10-7
Meshes use a significantly larger amount of network cabling than do the other network
topologies, which makes it more expensive. The mesh topology is highly fault tolerant.
Every computer has multiple possible connection paths to the other commuters on the
network, so a single cable break will not stop network communications between any two
computers.
10.3.1. Advantages of Networks
There are number of advantages of network:
1. Speed. Network provide a very fast method for sharing and transferring files from
one computer to another. Without a network, files are shared by copying them to floppy
disks or sending the disks from one computer to another.
2. Security. The network system provides security, which protects the system from
other users. For example : In banking organization the bank can set permission the user
to view and manuputate their account with providing thin user identification and password.
3. Cost. Computer network support sharing of a program on a network allows for
easier upgrading of the program. The changes have to be done only once at the file
server instead of on all the individual workstations.
4. Fast Problem Solving. When we use networks any problem can be sorted out
faster than the single computer because most of the times problems are shared by he
different computers.
5. Resource Sharing. Sharing of resources is another area in which a network useful
as compare to stand-alone computers. Most of the organisation cannot afford enough
laser printers, fax machines, modems, scanners, and CD-ROM players for each computer.
However, if these or similar peripherals are added to a network, they can be shared by
many users.
6. Electronic Mail. The presence of a network provides the hardware necessary to
install an E-Mail system. E-mail aids in personal and professional communication for all
organisation and it facilitates the dissemination of general information to the entire
organisation staff. Electronic mail on a LAN can enable to communicate with others. If
the LAN is connected to the Internet, we can communicate with others throughout the
world.
7. Workgroup Computing. Workgroup software (such as Microsoft BackOffice) allows
many users to work on a document or project concurrently. For example, educators
located at various schools within a country could simultaneously contribute their ideas
about new curriculum standards to the same document and spreadsheets.
8. 10-8
COMPUTER NETWORK
10.4. ISO- OSI MODEL
The international standard organization is a multination body dedicated to worldwide.
L
An ISO standard that covers all aspects of network communication is
the open system interconnection model. OSI model is not a protocol. It is
a model for understanding and designing an international architecture
or network architecture.
It divides network architecture into seven layers as shown in Fig. 10.8, from top to
bottom, are the Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data-Link, and
Physical Layers. It is therefore often referred to as the OSI Seven Layer Model.
Fig. 10.8. ISO-OSI Model.
1. Physical layer. The Physical Layer is the first and lowest layer in the seven-layer
OSI model of computer networking. The physical layer functions are to transmit a bit
stream over a physical medium. It deals with the specifications of the interface and
transmission medium. It also defines the procedures and functions that physical devices
and interfaces have to perform for transmission to occur.
9. COMPUTER NETWORK
10-9
2. Data link layer. The Data Link Layer is Layer 2 of the seven-layer OSI model of
computer networking. This layer transforms the physical layer a transmission facility to
a reliable link and is responsible for node to node delivery. It makes the physical layer
appear error free to the upper layer (network layer).
3. Network layer. The Network Layer is Layer 3 of the seven-layer OSI model of
computer networking. This layer is responsible for the source to destination delivery of
a packet possibly across multiple network (links) whereas, the data link layer over sees
the delivery of the packet between the system on the same network (links), the network
layer ensures that each packet gets from its point of origin to its final destination.
4. Transport layer. The Transport layer is Layer 4 of the seven-layer OSI model of
computer networking. This layer is responsible for source to destination (end- to end)
delivery of the entire message. The transport layer, on the other hand, ensures that the
whole message arrives intact and in order, overseeing both error control and flow control
at the source to destination level. The transport layer may create a connection between
the two parts.
5. Session layer. The session layer is Layer 5 of the seven-layer OSI model of computer
networking.This layer is the network dialog controller. It establishers, maintain and
synchronizers the interaction between communicating systems. The main responsibility
of this layer is to control the flow of the communication. It is also concerned that the
flow of the communication will be unique reaction by directional. The session layer also
consider that the first request is fulfilled or not before receiving the second.
6. Presentation layer. The Presentation Layer is Layer 6 of the seven-layer OSI
model of computer networking. The presentation layer is concerned with the syntax and
semantics of the information exchanged between two systems. Mainly encoding is done
at the presentation layer the presentation layer controls the encoding of the data. It
changes the one language to another every computer does not uses the data encoding
scheme.
7. Application layer. The application layer enable the user, whether human or software
to access the network. It provides user interfaces and support for services such as
electronic mail remote file access and transfer shared database management, and other
types of distributed information services.
10.5. FUNCTION OF VARIOUS OSI LAYERS
The functions of various layers in OSI model are given below :
1. Physical layer. The function of physical layer is as following:
(a) Physical interfaces and media. The physical layer defines the features of the
interface between the devices and the transmission medium. It also defines the
type of transmission medium.
(b) Representation of bits. The physical layer data consist of a stream of bits
must be encoded into signals electrical or optical. The physical layer defines the
type of encoding (how 0s and 1s are changed to signals).
10. 10-10
COMPUTER NETWORK
(c) Data rate. The number of bits sent each second is also defined by the physical
layer. In other words the it defines the duration of a bit which is how long it lasts.
(d) Line configuration. The physical layer is concerned with the connection of
devices to the medium. In a point to point configuration, two devices are
connected together through a dedicated link. In a multipoint configuration a link
is share between several devices.
(e) Physical topology. The physical topology defines how devices are connected
to make a network. Device can be connected using a mesh topology, a star
topology, a ring topology or a bus topology.
(f) Transmission mode. The physical layer also defines the direction of
transmission between two device simple, half duplex or full duplex.
2. Data link layer. The responsibilities of the Data link layer are as following:
(a) Framing. The data link layer defines the stream of bits received form the network
layer into data units called frames.
(b) Physical addressing. If frames are to be distributed to different system on the
network the data link layer adds the header to the frame to define the physical
address of the sender.
3. Network layer. The responsibilities of the network layer include the following:
(a) Logical addressing. The physical addressing implemented by the data link
layer, handles the addressing problems locally. The network layer adds a header
to the packet coming from the upper layer that among other things includes the
logical address of the sender and receiver.
(b) Routing. When networks are connected together to create an internetworking
that connecting devices (called routers or gateways) route the packets to their
final destination. One of the functions of the network layer is to provide this
mechanism.
4. Transport layer. The functions of the transport layer include the following:
(a) Service point addressing. Computers often run several programs at the same
time for this reason source to destination delivery means delivery not only from
one computer to the next, but also from a specific process on one computer to a
specific process on the other. The transport layer header therefore, must include
a type of address called a service point address.
(b) Segmentation and reassembly. A message is divided into transmittable
segment where each segment containing a sequence number. These numbers
enable the transport layer to reassemble the message correctly upon arriving at
the destination and to identify and replace packets that were lost in the
transmission.

(c) Connection control. The transport layer can be either connection less or
connection oriented. A connection oriented transport layer makes a connection
with the transport layer at the destination machine first before delivering the
packets
(d) Error control. Like the data link layer the transport layer is responsible for
error control.
5. Session layer. The functions of the session layer include are as following:
(a) Dialog control. Dialog control allows the communication between two
processes to take place either is half duplex (one way at a time) or full duplex
(two way at time).
(b) Synchronization. The session layer allows a process to check synchronization
points into a stream of data.
6. Presentation layer. The responsibilities of the presentation layer are as following;
(a) Translation. The process in two systems is usually exchanging information in
the form of character strings, numbers and so on.
(b) Encryption. To carry sensitive information, a system must be able to assure
privacy. Encryption means that the sender transformers the original information
to another form and sends the resulting message over the network. Decryption
reverses, the original process to transform the message back to its original form.
(c) Compression. Data compression reduces the number of bits to be transmitted.
7. Application layer. The functions provided by the application layer are the following:
1. Virtual terminal. A network virtual terminal is a software version of a physical
terminal. It allows a user to log on to a remote host.
2. File transfer access and management (FTAM). This application allows a
user to access and retrieve files from a remote computer and to manage or
control files in a remote computer.
3. Mail services. This application provides the basis for e-mail forwarding and
storage.
4. Directory services. This application provides distributed database sources
and access for global information about various objects and services.
10.6. INTERNETWORKING
Internetworking involves connecting two or more different computer networks or network
segments by a common routing technology. The result is called an internetworking as
shown in Fig. 10.9.
12. 10-12
L
COMPUTER NETWORK
The interconnection among or between public, private, commercial,
industrial, or governmental networks may be defined as an
internetworking.
Fig. 10.9. Internetworking.
The simplest may simply involve two networks in nearest offices which are easily
connected by using a bridge. More complex networks can be form by using routers or
gateways. That links together network of different type of LANs or to interconnect
LANs to a larger computer, such as a mainframe computer.
10.6.1. Type of Internetworking
There are three type of internetworking, depending on who administers and who
participates in them:
1. Intranet. An intranet is a set of networks, using the internet protocol and IP-based
tools such as web browsers and file transfer applications, which are under the control of
a single administrative entity. Most commonly, an intranet is the internal network of an
organization. A large intranet will typically have at least one web server to provide users
with organizational information.
Intranets and extranets may or may not have connections to the Internet. If connected
to the Internet, the intranet or extranet is normally protected from being accessed from
the internet without proper authorization.
13. 10-13
COMPUTER NETWORK
2. Extranet. An extranet is a network or internetworking that is limited in scope to a
single organization. For example a companyโs customers may be given access to some
part of its intranet.
3. Internet. The Internet is a specific internetworking. It consists of a worldwide
interconnection of governmental, academic, public, and private networks based upon the
networking technologies of the internet protocol suite.
It is the successor of the advanced research projects agency network (ARPANET)
developed by DARPA of the U.S. department of defense. The Internet is also the
communications backbone underlying the world wide web (WWW).
10.6.2. Internetworking Devices
To connect networks together we can use several devices. They are as follows:
1. Bridge
2. Router
3. Repeater
4. Gateway
5. Hub
6. Network Interface Card
1. Bridge. It is a network component that is used to connect two different types of
network but it is compulsory that network operating system must be same type and
software should be same of both networks. This device is helpful to transfer data from
one network to other as shown in the Fig. 10.10.
Fig. 10.10. Bridge.
14. 10-14
COMPUTER NETWORK
If one network is UNIX than other network is also be UNIX operating system. Protocols
are different for different operating system. But in bridge protocols must be same.
2. Routers. Router is a hardware device that enables which is the several possible paths
between source and destination. Routers are more sophisticated devices which work on
the network layer. (i.e. OSI model). It contains the software that helps in selecting best
possible path for the particulars transmission. Router is also used to connect the two
LANS as shown in Fig. 10.11.
Fig. 10.11. Router.
The routing algorithm is that part of the network layer, responsible for deciding which
output line and incoming packet should be transmitted on.
3. Repeater. It is a network component as shown in Fig. 10.12. This component is
worked on network. It is used to increase the frequency of signals. It increases those
frequencies which are low.
15. 10-15
COMPUTER NETWORK
Fig. 10.12. Repeater.
4. Gateway. A gateway is generally software which is installed within the routers. The
gateway understands the protocol used by each network link into the router and is
therefore, able to translate from one into another.
Gateway is a protocol converter. A router transfers packet only across the network
using similar type of protocols. But a gateway can accept a packet formatted for one
protocol (Apple Talk) and convert it to a packet formatted for another protocol.
5. Hub. It is a hardware network component as shown in the Fig.10.13. This component
is used in start topology. With the help of hub we can connect node and services
connections. Today different sizes of hubs are available like 16 sokets, 24 sokets. In
normal hub a pin slot for the server and remaining for the node.
Fig. 10.13. Hub.
16. 10-16
COMPUTER NETWORK
Through hub we also can identify which node is not working because each slot provides
the lighting facility. If light is not working is means particulars node is not working.
6. Network interface card (NIC). This card is fixed inside of CPU without this card
no computer can be connected with other. It is also called ethernet card as shown in
Fig. 10.14. It is necessary to install in computer then we can connect systems.
Fig. 10.14. Network Interface Card.
This card is fixed inside of CPU in all computers of networks.
10.7. TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROTOCOL /INTERNET
PROTOCOL (TCP/IP)
First of all we should know what is protocol a why it is needed. The protocol is a set of
rules for communication. It is needed because you do not know the operating system
where you are communicating. Therefore based on type of hardware used to set of
rules for communicating two or more different devices.
In TCP/IP protocol TCP is a transport layer protocol and IP is a network layer protocol.
TCP/IP evolved in a response to input from a wide variety of industry sources.
Consequently TCP/IP is a most open of the protocol suits supported by the wide variety
of vendors. There are many different protocols defined in the Internet which comes in
model called TCP/IP suite (Transmission control protocol / internet protocol) this suite
consist of five layers as shown in Fig. 10.15.
17. 10-17
COMPUTER NETWORK
Fig. 10.15. TCP/IP.
1. Physical layer
2. Data link layer
3. Network layer
4. Transport layer
5. Application layer
1. Physical layer. Physical Layer contains all the hardware devices, which helps in portability
of data. The devices are as below:
1. Bridge
2. Router
3. Gateway
2. Data Link Layer. Data Link Layer helps in establishing link between two different data.
It includes the following protocols.
(a) Post office protocol (POP). This protocol helps in working with E-mail. All uploading
and downloading works can be done with the help of this protocol.
3. Network layer. This layer helps in establishing network connectivity between two
different terminals. It includes the following protocols.
(a) Address resolution protocol (ARP). This protocol helps in converting internet
address to hardware address.
(b) Reverse address resolution protocol (RARP). This protocol helps in
converting hardware address to internet address.
18. 10-18
COMPUTER NETWORK
(c) Internet control message protocol (ICMP). This protocol is used to control
errors and messages.
4. Transport layer. This layer helps in data transmission, which is in the form of packets.
Protocols in this layer are as below:
(a) Transmission control protocol (TCP). This protocol is used in data
transmission. It works with the help of another protocol named IP (internet
protocol), which helps in gathering the address of machines connected to the
internet. TCP along with IP is called TCP/IP.
(b) User datagram protocol (UDP). This protocol helps in transmitting datagram
(a package containing different information).
5. Application layer. This is the layer, which helps the users to interact with internet. It
contains the following protocols:
(a) File transfer protocol (FTP). This protocol is used to transfer file from one
system to another system.
(b) Simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP). This protocol is used for the purpose
of electronic mail. Here only one-way communication is possible. That is can be
send only but can not be received.
POINTS TO REMEMBER
(i) We are using star topology in our labs.
(ii) Internet is network of networks.
(iii) Protocol is a set of rules to communicate with other devices.
(iv) Networking with in organization is called intranet.
(v) Networking of an organization which is located in different cities are called
internet.
