Computer network
• A network is a number of computers and their peripheral devices connected
together in some way. The simplest form of network is when one computer is
linked to another computer. The Internet is a connected set of networks that
links millions of computers.
• Computers communicate with each other through a network. The role of a
network is to transfer data from one location to another. Data stored on one
computer can be obtained by people using computers, often thousand of
kilometers away.

INFORMATION NETWORK
Establishing a network
• Networks have changed the way we live and work. In most workplaces or schools they are a necessity.
There are number of advantages and disadvantages of setting up a network.

INFORMATION NETWORK
Advantages Disadvantages
• Allows users to share peripherals such as printer, hard disks and the internet.
• Expensive to install.
• Allows users to share applications where for instance a software can be used on the same site by a certain number of users
• Maintenance of network requires considerable time and expertise.
• Allows users to share data • When the server goes down the entire network does not operate.
• Files are restricted. Only authorised users can have access.
• Damage equipment such as a broken cable can stop the entire network.
• Improved communication • Networks are targets for hackers and viruses.
Network components• There are range of components for networks such as servers, work stations, hubs,
switches, routers, data transmission medium, etc.
A server is a controlling computer in a network that stores the programs and data
shared by the user. It provides access to files, applications or peripheral devices.
Examples of servers are file server, print server, mail server, web server.

INFORMATION NETWORK
A workstation is a personal computer on a network. It has memory,
storage and processing capabilities. They access a server for files and
applications but process the data themselves.
A hub is a central connecting device in a network. Each node is
connected directly to a hub. Most hubs receive a data packet from one
node and send that data packet to all nodes on the network. This created
a lot of unnecessary network traffic as most of the nodes will ignore the
data because it is not addressed to them. A better type of hub is called a
switch.

A switch is an intelligent hub that only sends data to a specific node. It
looks at the address of the data packet and sends it to that address. A switch
reduces the volume of traffic on a network compared to a hub.
A router is also a very intelligent hub that directs (routes) to and from other
networks. A router maintains a table of the available routes and their
conditions. It uses this table to determine the best route for a given data
packet. Routers are often used to connect to the Internet.
Data transmission medium refers to the pathway for transferring data
between the devices. It is either a wire transmission or a wireless
transmission.
Wire(cable) transmission (Guided Media) transfers the data through
wires and cables.
Wireless transmission (Unguided Media) moves the data through air
and space.

Local Area Network (LAN) – this network is formed
whenever computers are connected together in a small
geographical area e.g. floors, building, school etc.
within a radius of 10m up to 3km. A LAN is a often a
collection of computers and peripheral devices. It
enables users to share resources and communicate
with each other effectively.

16
Wide Area Network (WAN) – this network covers
unlimited geographical area e.g. across states, entire
country or entire world. They are expensive to build
and have low data rates and higher speed (over
100Mbps or higher).
It is often made up of a collection of LAN. A WAN may
use a private leased line, the normal telephone
network or a combination of both.
The Internet is a WAN that links all computers all over
the world.
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) – this network covers a metropolitan
area, like a town or city within a radius of between 5 and 50km. It is a
geographically distributed telecommunications network that interconnects
multiple local area networks (LANs).
A MAN may consist of connections to a company’s headquarters,
branch offices, cloud services and other facilities. Typically a router is
used to connect a LAN to WAN.
Personal Area Network (PAN)- is the interconnection of information
technology devices within the range of individuals person, typically within a
range of 1 meter. It provides data transmission among devices such as
computers, smartphones, tablets and personal digital assistants
