Explain the network architecture of computer network
Answers
Computer Network:
⭒ Two or more interconnected computers or other digital devices and the systems connecting them are called computer networks.
⭒ These computers can exchange electronic information among themselves and are connected to each other by wire or wireless.
⭒ This movement of information takes place through a particular convention, called protocol, and every computer in the network has to follow it.
⭒ Analog and digital methods are used to exchange information. Devices, wires, hubs, switches, routers, etc. can be named in network devices.
⭒ The influence of wireless networks in local computer networking is increasing. Computer networks are used in electronic communication.
⭒ The process of transmitting information from one place to another with the help of electronic is called telecommunication and sending or receiving data between one or more computers and different types of terminals is called data communication.
There are five basic components of a computer network:
1) ⭒The terminal⭒
2) ⭒Telecom processor⭒
3) ⭒Telecom Channels ⭒
4) ⭒Media Computer⭒
5) ⭒Telecommunications software⭒
What is Computer Network?
- The connection of two or more system in order to share data and resources is termed as a network.
- The requirements of a network are: Systems, NIC, Connection medium and OS that supports networking.
What is Network Architecture?
- It is the way we setup a network.
- There are two types of architecture: Peer to Peer and Client-server Network.
- P2P or peer to peer network is the network architecture in which there is no server and the information can be sent directly to the destination.
- The Client-Server network is the network architecture in which there is a server. Any information that has to passed, it has to pass from the server.
