Computer Network • An interconnection of computers for the purpose of sharing information and resources. • Typically classified according to: • Reach and complexity • Protocols and topologies
Network Types Defined • Local area networks • Metropolitan area networks • Wide area networks
Wide Area Network (WAN) • Far-reaching system of networks that usually extends over 30 miles and often reaches across states and continents
Enterprise Network • Enterprise network • Combination of LANs, MANs, or WANs that provides users with an array of computer and network resources to complete different tasks
Structure of the Internet • “Internet” comes from “internetworking” • The Internet is a collection of networks connected in a hierarchical fashion • There is no longer any regulated structure to the Internet • Order is maintained by agreement on governing standards

How the Internet Started • In 1968 the Air Force commissioned Paul Baran of the RAND Corporation to figure out how it could maintain control of its operations after a nuclear attack. • Baran suggested a decentralized packet-switched network, an arrangement that would send information from one point to another in packets; like letters in an envelope, each packet would be labeled with its destination, and the system would need no vulnerable central hub. • Info at http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/cold.war/experience/technology/inventions.timeline/arpanet.html
