What network?

N in the world of computers, networks, the practice of linking two or more devices together on the computer, for the purposes of data sharing. Networks with a mixture of computer hardware and computer software.

Area Networks

The networks can be of several types. An approach defined the nature of the network of the geographical area bounded. Local Area Networks (LANs), for example, who, as a general rule, which is accessible by a single house, and Wide Area Networks (WAN), and reach across cities, countries, or in the world. The Internet is the biggest festival of the public WAN.

Network Design

Computer networks also differ in their design of the two types of high-level design are referred client-server and peer-to-peer. Client-server network with a central server, computers, storing e-mails, Web pages, files and / or applications. In the case of a network peer-to-peer, in contrast, tend to take charge of all computers, the same functions. Client / server networks are much more common in business and peer-to-peer much more common in homes.

A network topology present its layout or structure from the point of view of data flows. In the so-called bus systems, for example, all computers to share and communicate on a common approach, whereas in a star network, all data flowing through a central. Common types of network topologies, bus, star, ring and mesh.

Network protocols

In networking, language communication devices used by a computer means the record. Another way to classify networks is the amount of minutes they support. Networks often several protocols supported to implement specific applications. More popular are the TCP / IP protocols, the protocol most commonly found on the Internet and home networks.
Wired Wireless Networking?

Several of the same network protocols such as TCP / IP, working in the wired and wireless networks. Networks Ethernet cables are superior in businesses, schools and homes for several decades. In recent times, however, the wireless networking, alternatives have been identified as the main technology for the development of new networks.
