INFORMATION NETWORKS TIER 9
Let’s Re-Cap… General Concepts • What is Computer? • Data & Information • 3 components of a Computer System • 4 elements of a Computer System • Features of a Computer System • Disadvantages of Computers • Units of Storage
COMPUTER SYSTEM - - - - -
Let’s Re-Cap… COMPUTER NETWORKS • What is Computer Networks? • LAN & WAN • Network Topologies • Modem & Signals • Networking Equipments • NIC, Hub, Switch, Bridge, Router • Cables . . .
Connect Terminals / Nodes ConnectNetworks HUB BRIDGE Connects & transmits only + Intelligence SWITCH ROUTER Sends packet direct to terminal (via address) Detects traffic & failures
COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS • Why do we need protocols for communication?
…GROUP PRACTICE… • Connect 2 PC using LAN • Identify components needed • Draw diagram of the network • Label the components

NETWORK MANAGEMENT Why do we NEED network managers ??? • Collect & analyze traffic info • Find solutions • Checks & monitors bandwidth, circuits & hardware • Identify error • Analyze error • Separate error from network • Correct error • Protection of network • Create & maintain passwords & access control • Monitor & control access • Create & maintain security policy • Collect & maintain info of network • e.g. network system, its status, supplier, component connection
APPLICATIONS • The Internet • Existence = why ? • Physical: Computers, networks & services • Allows access to large resource of data & information hosts / servers • Protocol = what ? • Any computer can act as a host
APPLICATIONS • WWW • WWW ≠ the Internet ! • Difference ??? • “Universal readership” = concept of WWW creation • Tools: • Browsers • Servers / gateways • Addressing schemes • Common protocols • Format negotiation • Server vs. ISP
SUMMARY • COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS • TELEPHONE NETWORKS • NETWORK MANAGEMENT • APPLICATIONS
