Chapter B, Problem B5.3MBD

Program Plan Intro

Network:

• It is used to connect the more than two computer devices.
• Type of network topologies
  • Bus topology
    • Each computer device are interrelated to a single wire.
    • It is used in small network.
    • It is simple network topology for connecting devices
  • Mesh topology
    • Every node combine to distribute data amongst each other.
    • Since the multiple devices can transmit data simultaneously, it can be able to manage high amount of traffic.
  • Ring topology
    • The network connection made by circular way in this methodology.
    • Here the data flows in same direction so this topology decrease probability of packet crash.
  • Star topology
    • Each device connects to a middle node which might be hub or switch.
    • Using this topology, simply add a node to network.
    • If one device is failed in network, then other node continues the function normally.
  • Tree topology
    • It can be used to connect more than two devices.
  • Hybrid topology
    • It is mix of all topologies.
• Network types
  • Local Area Network (LAN)
    • It can be used to connect devices inside a building.
  • Metropolitan area network (MAN)
    • The network that develops over a broad geographic area
  • Wide area network (WAN)
    • It is same as like LAN however spans a whole city or campus.

Wireless Technology:

• It is used for transfer the data using without cable or with cables.
• The many wireless technology uses the radio waves.
• It is usually used for connecting devices in wireless mode.
• Example for wireless technology
  • Cellular phones and pagers
  • Cordless computer peripherals
  • Global positioning system
