How would you define a network? What is bandwidth? What is a NIC? List three types of media used for network connections. I would define a network as a group of computers that are connected together with physical cables or wireless capabilities along with a series of peripheral devices such as, routers, switches, servers or printers etc…for sharing data, software and other resources between different users. When talking about bandwidth, it is a range of frequencies or wavelengths in which data is transmitted. With digital devices, bandwidth is calculated by bits per second or bytes per second and with analog devices, by cycles per second, or hertz.
A network interface card or a NIC is a circuit board or card you can install in your computer so that it can be connected to a network. It allows

Coaxial cable uses a single conductor in the middle of a cable and the central conductor is surrounded by an insulator which is called the dielectric. Coax cables have become obsolete. Unshielded twisted pair cabling, also known as UTP cabling, has become the most common used network cabling. UTP cabling consists of four twisted pairs of wire, which have a different number of twists per foot, all encased on one sheath. This cabling is graded by different categories. Category 5 is recommended for Ethernet speeds of 100 Mbps. Category 5e, for running gigabit Ethernet or 1000BaseT networks. Category 6 and Category 6a are used to give better performance at higher speeds. Fiber optic cable is wave guided or light guided because it guides the light waves along the length of the cable. Single mode fiber optic cable can operate over long distances. Because fiber allows one mode of light to propagate, light pulses put on the fiber keep their shape much longer. This allows the light pulses to travel much further without interfering with other
1)A network is when two or more computers are connected together and are able to share data and communication.
Some of the networking basics are discussed below like TCP, UDP, TCP/IP, and OSI model.
There are 3 security features about Hamachi: (1) Encrypted communications:Secure communications using AES 256-bit encryption, over public and private networks; (2) Centralized access controls: Control network access and usage, including password management, network authentication, network locking, and ongoing network membership; (3) Network / client configuration management:Configure default settings for individual networks and clients, with support for full, restricted and minimal client interface modes
This created physical connection between PC’s and the network line. Connected data’s are transporting data’s through the network. Cable is a medium through which information usually moves to one network to another network.
This protocol use Dijkstra algorithm. It maintains a complex data base, also called as link state database, which contains full information about the remote routers and the exact network topology. The goal from this protocol is to provide similar information about network connection to each router, so each router can calculate the best route to each network this is happen when each router generates information about itself and pass these information to other routers in the network so each router make a copy of this information without changing it.
Each layer has a specific function and the layers work together to allow an application to send data over a computer network without really specifying the exact protocols and/or physical wiring within each layer. In line with the figure above, when the first CEO sends an email message to the second CEO, email ‘application worker’ firstly prompts the first CEO to enter a message and specify that the receiver is the second CEO. The application worker then creates the necessary data package with message contents and the destination email address and send s this to a ‘transport worker’. The transport worker provides transport integrity. The transport worker may establish a connection with the receiver (second CEO); monitor the overall
NIC - A network interface controller (NIC, also known as a network interface card, network adapter, LAN adapter, and by similar terms) is a computer hardware component that connects a computer to a computer network
Computer Network: A LAN (local area network) that connects computers in a house, at school or at work.
Bus – All computers and devices are connected asynchronous to one linear cable known as a trunk or generally known as a backbone. each ends of the trunk should be terminated to prevent the signal from bouncing duplicate the cable. as a result of the network
1. Identify the types of connectivity devices being used the local are network at your school or workplace, and describe why they are being used. Are any of the devices networked managed? How do your network administrators use the information collected from the managed devices?
During this section of my blog you would be able to view all the different types of typical services provided by networks and the purpose of each where I discuss the advantages and disadvantages of them all.
Physical media is what physically connects the computers connected on the internet. For this network two physical media will be used to allow access to the application layers of the system. The coaxial cables will be used to create a WAN. While a wireless protocol will be used in allowing users to roam within the network. A LAN will be represented as follows;
A computer network is a network that consist of two or more computers that are able to share information between them or their users. There are a large variety of different networks and the advantages or disadvantages are strongly related to the type of network we choose.
A graphics card is a card that connects to the motherboard of a computer system and it outputs images. A graphics card is also known as a video card.
In ITGS, a network is defined as ‘system of interconnected computers, telephones, and/or other communications devices that can communicate with one another and share applications and data’. This system of interconnected devices, known as simply networks, can be either wired or wireless, depending on the size of the network and the availability of suitable equipment.
