Classification of computer networks!

Clasification of computer network

Computer communication, information sharing, electronic mail, electronic libraries, bulletin boards, etc. using computer networks are increasing in prevalence and spread. As a result, different types of networks are used in different countries of the world today. That is why the computer networks used in the world are classified from different points of view: namely--

(a) Classification of Networks by Ownership :

(i) Private Networks and

(ii) Public network.

(b) Computer network according to type of work According to the type of work computer network can be mainly divided into three parts. These are-

(i) Peer-to-peer network

(ii) Client-server network

(iii) Hybrid network

(c) Classification of networks according to geographical extent :

(i) Personal Area Network (PAN)

(ii) Local Area Network (Local Area Network-LAN)

(iii) Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

(iv) Wide Area Network (Wide Area Network-WAN)


In general, network segmentation refers to the classification according to geographical distribution.


Peer-to-peer network:

The literal meaning of the word peer is peer. In the network, such PCs act as clients and servers, i.e. all computers work in the same class. In this type of network, each computer plays an equal role in resource sharing. There is no specific server, so there is no ranking of computers in terms of importance. In other words, each computer in this type of network is simultaneously a server and a workstation. Here each computer is decentralized or scattered. Plays an equal role in resource sharing. There are no dedicated servers, so there is no hierarchy between computers. Each computer is responsible for its own data security. The computer user determines which of his files or data will be open for use by others on the network. In a peer to peer network each user can share their resources with others.


Features of Peer to Peer Network:

Some of the features of peer to peer network are --

(i) Users can share various resources of their computer, such as file-folders, printers, CD-ROM drives, etc.

(ii) Such network is convenient for 10 or less users.

(iii) Files or resources are not stored in one location.

(iv) Here each user administers his own computer, no need for a dedicated administrator.

(v) It does not require any special software or operating system to create it. It is not possible to centrally control the users and security of the entire network.

What should the processor look at?

The things that we all should keep an eye on are the processor or not; 1. Clock speed 2. Number of course 3. cache memory 4. FBS 1. Clock Speed: It is also called GH2. All processors are written on. Clock speed means how fast your computer can work. That's what this signal means. The speed of the processor is known through this clock speed, how fast the calculation can be done. 2. Number of Cores: The more cores the processor has, the faster the processor can work. If I give an example to explain the matter, I hope you can understand it very easily. Suppose if a person had many hands, then he could do many things at the same time. That is, if we go to the market and buy a smartphone, then we will see what the configurations of the phone are. If we look closely at the configuration of the smartphone, we will see that Dual Core Processor, Quad Core Processor, Octa core processor, Hexa core processor, Deca core processor. This means that the dual core processor has two arms or cores, ...

What is transmission media? Introduction to different types of data transmission cables

Transmission media: When a PC communicates or wants to communicate with another PC, it has to take the help of some transmission media. The most commonly used media in the network are twisted pair cable, coaxial cable, fiber optic cable. Nowadays, the use of optical fiber is increasing greatly. Radio wave, microwave and infrared technologies are prominent among wireless media. Among these mediums, optical fiber has the highest data transfer speed. The type of medium used in a network depends on the type and location of that network. The connection system for exchanging information between the sender and the remote receiving end is called a channel. The means or methods used to implement the channel are called media. such as-- (i) Cable or wire. (ii) Common telephone lines. (ii) Radio waves. (iv) Microwave. (v) Geo-satellite systems etc. Cable or Wire: Cable is an important medium in data communication. Cables are generally used for data transfer over short range networking such as LAN...
