What are the different components of a computer network? Explain them briefly
Answers
Computer networks share common devices, functions, and features including servers, clients, transmission media, shared data, shared printers and other hardware and software resources, network interface card(NIC), local operating system(LOS), and the network operating system (NOS).
Answer:
The different components of network are TCP/IP protocol and UDP protocol...
TCP (Transmission control protocol) / IP (Internet Protocol) is the standard protocol model used on any network.
To send data from one place to another, first of all the computers should be correctly identified on the network, this is done with the help of IP addresses. An IP address is an unique identification number given to every computer on network. The IP address may represent, for example a website on a server machine on Internet as: www.gmail.com
Therefore, to open 'gmail.com' site, we can type the site address as 'www.gmail.com' or it's IP address as '216.58.194.197'. Almost all protocols on internet use TCP/IP model internally...
UDP is another protocol that transfers data in a connection less and unreliable manner. It will not check how many bits are sent or how many bits are actually received at the other side. During transmission of data, there may be some loss of bits, also the data sent may not be received in same order. UDP is used to send images, videos, audio files.
