Nt1210 Network Communication

Satisfactory Essays

The main way networks communicate is through a process called protocols which is basically the instructions that the computer follows when transmitting and receiving information. You can’t see any of these processes happening, they are all different types of networks with different variations of protocols which make networks connect together and be able to communicate with each other. All this is then displayed to the client on the screen without them being able to see anything except from a few clicks. For example the way a Router communicates to a computer is through an IP address which is assigned by the router which will then find the computer and transmit information to and from the computer. Networks are different types of equipment, …show more content…

LANs standards and protocols are Ethernet, IEEE 802.2 [IEEE 802.3, 100BaseT, Token Ring/IEEE 802.5 and FDDI. • WAN (Wide area network) WAN connects computers and devices within a wide area WAN is usually used in business to send data between employees, buyers, and suppliers from anywhere in the world. WANs standards are pretty much the same as LAN’s standards and protocols they are both on TCIP. IEEE 802.14 Cable modem, IEEE 802.6 MANs (DQDB), IEEE 802.7 Broadband LAN using Coaxial Cable ISDN and ASL broadband these are the standards for …show more content…

• Client Server is a computer system where a central server provides data of networked workstations. The following are all network topologies. • bus • ring • star • tree • mesh Bus topology • All the nodes (file server, workstations, and peripherals) on a bus Topologies are connected by one single cable. • A bus topology consists of a main cable with terminators at each end. All nodes (file server, workstations, and peripherals) are connected to the linear cable. • Popular on LANs because they are cheap and easy to install. Ring topology • In a ring network, each device has exactly two neighbours for communication purposes. • All messages travel through a ring in the same direction. • A failure in any cable or device breaks the loop and can take down the entire network. • To implement a ring network we use the Token Ring technology • A token, or small data packet, is continuously passed around
