Networking
•Computer network A collection of
computing devices that are connected in
various ways in order to communicate and
share resources
Usually, the connections between
computers in a network are made using
physical wires or cables
However, some connections are wireless,
using radio waves or infrared signals
Networking
•Computer networks have opened up an
entire boundary in the world of computing
called the client/server model
Networking
•The generic term node or host refers to
any device on a network
•Data transfer rate
The speed with which data is moved
from one place on a network to another
Networking
•File server
A computer that stores and manages files
for multiple users on a network
•Web server
A computer dedicated to responding to
requests (from the browser client) for web
pages
Types of Networks
Types of Networks
•Personal-area network (PAN)
is a
computer network for
interconnecting devices
centered on an individual
person's workspace
Local-area network
Types of Networks
•Local-area network (LAN)
A network that connects a
relatively small number of
machines in a relatively
close geographical area
15-10
Types of Networks
•Various configurations, called topologies, have
been used to administer LANs
Ring topology
A configuration that connects all nodes in a closed loop on
which messages travel in one direction
Star topology
A configuration that centers around one node to which
all others are connected and through which all
messages are sent
Bus topology
All nodes are connected to a single communication line that
carries messages in both directions
15-13
Metropolitan-area network (MAN)
Types of Networks
•Metropolitan-area network (MAN)
The communication infrastructures that have been developed in
and around large cities
-essentially a LAN version of the larger size and usually
use the same technology to the LAN.
MAN can include corporate offices are located adjacent
or also a city and can be used for private purposes
(private) or public.
MAN capable of supporting both
voice and data, can even relate to the cable television
network.
Wide-area network (WAN)
Types of Networks
•Wide-area network (WAN) A network that
connects two or more local-area networks over a
potentially large geographic distance
Often one particular node on a LAN is set up to serve as a
gateway to handle all communication going between that
LAN and other networks
Communication between networks is called
internetworking
The Internet, as we know it today, is essentially the ultimate
wide-area network, spanning the entire globe

Internet Connections
•Dial-up access is cheap but slow. A modem (internal or
external) connects to the Internet after the computer dials a phone
number.
This analog signal is converted to digital via the modem
and sent over a land-line serviced by a public telephone network
•DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line.
It is an internet
connection that is always “on”.
This uses 2 lines so your phone is
not tied up when your computer is connected.
There is also no
need to dial a phone number to connect.
DSL uses a router to
transport data and the range of connection speed, depending on the
service offered, is between 128K to 8 Mbps.
15-25
Internet Connections
•Cable provides an internet connection through a
cable modem and operates over cable TV lines.
There
are different speeds depending on if you are uploading
data transmissions or downloading.
Since the coax
cable provides a much greater bandwidth over dial-up or
DSL telephone lines, you can get faster access.
15-26
Internet Connections
•Wireless, or Wi-Fi, as the name suggests, does not
use telephone lines or cables to connect to the internet.
Instead, it uses radio frequency. Wireless is also an
always on connection and it can be accessed from just
about anywhere.
•Satellite accesses the internet via a satellite in
Earth’s orbit. The enormous distance that a signal travels
from earth to satellite and back again, provides a
delayed connection compared to cable and DSL.
15-27
Internet Connections
•Cellular technology provides wireless Internet access
through cell phones.
The speeds vary depending on the
provider, but the most common are 3G and 4G speeds.
15-28
•Which is responsible for taking large
amounts of data, compiling it into packets
and sending them on their way to be
received?
15-29
TCP/IP
•TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol
TCP software breaks messages into packets,
hands them off to the IP software for delivery,
and then orders and reassembles the packets
at their destination
•IP stands for Internet Protocol
IP software deals with the routing of packets
through the maze of interconnected networks
to their final destination
15-30
TCP/IP (cont.)
•UDP stands for User Datagram Protocol
–It is an alternative to TCP
–The main difference is that TCP is highly
reliable, at the cost of decreased
performance, while UDP is less reliable, but
generally faster
15-31
Which will filter ingoing and
outgoing messages?
15-32
Firewalls
•Firewall A machine and its software that
serve as a special gateway to a network,
protecting it from inappropriate access
–Filters the network traffic that comes in,
checking the validity of the messages as
much as possible and perhaps denying some
messages altogether
–Enforces an organization’s access control
policy
Firewalls

Network Addresses
•Hostname A unique identification that
specifies a particular computer on the
Internet
For example
matisse.csc.villanova.edu
condor.develocorp.com
15-36
Network Addresses
•Network software translates a hostname
into its corresponding IP address
For example
205.39.145.18
Network Addresses
•An IP address can be split into
–network address, which specifies a specific network
–host number, which specifies a particular machine in
that network
15-38
Domain Name System
•A hostname consists of the computer name
followed by the domain name
•csc.villanova.edu is the domain name
–A domain name is separated into two or more
sections that specify the organization, and possibly a
subset of an organization, of which the computer is a
part
–Two organizations can have a computer named the
same thing because the domain name makes it clear
which one is being referred to
15-39
Domain Name System
•The domain name system (DNS) is
chiefly used to translate hostnames into
numeric IP addresses
–DNS is an example of a distributed database
–If that server can resolve the hostname, it
does so
–If not, that server asks another domain name
server
How to connect to other
computer network?

Explain Computer Networking
15-55
Network Design
•Network design refers to the planning of
the implementation of a computer network
infrastructure.
•Network design is generally performed by
network designers, engineers, IT
administrators and other related staff. It is
done before the implementation of a
network infrastructure.
15-56
Typically, network design includes the following:
•Logical map of the network to be designed
•Cabling structure
•Quantity, type and location of network devices
(router, switches, servers)
•IP addressing structure
•Network security architecture and overall
network security processes
15-57
Connection
•In networking, a connection refers to
pieces of related information that are
transferred through a network.
•This generally infers that a connection is
built before the data transfer (by following
the procedures laid out in a protocol) and
then is deconstructed at the at the end of
the data transfer.
15-58
Packet
•the most basic unit that is transferred over a
network. When communicating over a
network, packets are the envelopes that
carry your data (in pieces) from one end
point to the other.
•Packets have a header portion that contains
information about the packet including the
source and destination, timestamps, network
hops, etc.
15-59
Network Interface
•A network interface can refer to any kind
of software interface to networking
hardware.
•For instance, if you have two network
cards in your computer, you can control
and configure each network interface
associated with them individually.
15-60
Protocol
•A protocol is a set of rules and standards
that basically define a language that
devices can use to communicate.
•There are a great number of protocols in
use extensively in networking, and they
are often implemented in different layers.
15-61
Interface
•are networking communication points for
your computer. Each interface is
associated with a physical or virtual
networking device.
•Typically, your server will have one
configurable network interface for each
Ethernet or wireless internet card you
have.
15-62
Media Access Control
•is a communications protocol that is used
to distinguish specific devices.
•Each device is supposed to get a unique
MAC address during the manufacturing
process that differentiates it from every
other device on the internet.
15-63
Internet Protocol
•is one of the fundamental protocols that
allow the internet to work.
•IP addresses are unique on each network
and they allow machines to address each
other across a network. It is implemented
on the internet layer in the IP/TCP model.
15-64
ICMP
•stands for internet control message
protocol. It is used to send messages
between devices to indicate the availability
or error conditions.
•These packets are used in a variety of
network diagnostic tools, such as ping and
traceroute.
15-65
TCP
•is one of the protocols that encapsulates
data into packets. It then transfers these to
the remote end of the connection using the
methods available on the lower layers.
•On the other end, it can check for errors,
request certain pieces to be resent, and
reassemble the information into one logical
piece to send to the application layer.
15-66
HTTP
•stands for hypertext transfer protocol. It is
a protocol defined in the application layer
that forms the basis for communication on
the web.
15-67
FTP
•stands for file transfer protocol. It is also in
the application layer and provides a way of
transferring complete files from one host to
another.
•It is inherently insecure, so it is not
recommended for any externally facing
network unless it is implemented as a
public, download-only resource.
15-68
DNS
•stands for domain name system. It is an
application layer protocol used to provide
a human-friendly naming mechanism for
internet resources.
•It is what ties a domain name to an IP
address and allows you to access sites by
name in your browser.
15-69
IPv4 vs. IPv6 addresses
•IPv4
•The version of the Internet Protocol (IP) that is
commonly used is version
4 (IPv4), which has
not changed substantially since RFC
791 was
published in 1981.
•IPv4 is robust, easily implemented,
interoperable, and capable of scaling to a
global utility that can function with the Internet.
15-70
•IPv6
•IPv6 significantly increases the number of
addresses that are available.
•The most obvious difference between IPv6
and IPv4 is the size of the addresses. An
IPv4 address is 32
bits long, and an IPv6
address is 128
bits long, which is four
times longer than an IPv4 address
15-71
IPv4 vs. IPv6 addresses
Dynamic vs. static IP addresses
•Dynamic IP addresses
•Dynamic IP addresses are acquired from a
DHCP server, and they may change from
time to time.
•You can provide dynamic IP addresses to the
computers on your network by configuring
one or more DHCP servers. The DHCP
server must be assigned a static IP address.
15-72
•Static IP addresses
•A static IP address does not change. It is
assigned by the network administrator,
and it is manually entered into the
properties for the network adapter that is
on a server or on a client computer.
•A static IP address does not require that a
DHCP server is running on the network.
15-73
Dynamic vs. static IP addresses
Network connectivity
•Network connectivity describes the
extensive process of connecting various
parts of a network to one another, for
example, through the use of routers,
switches and gateways, and how that
process works.
•
15-80
Network connectivity
•Ping
is a utility first developed by Michael
Muss
in 1983 that is used to verify whether or
not a
network data packet is capable of being
distributed to an address without errors. The
ping utility is commonly used to check for
network errors.
15-81
Network connectivity
•The image is an example of what happens when a ping
is sent. The user would first start by using the ping
command to ping the
IP address 204.228.150.3. Next,
the request is sent over the network
hub and router, in
this example, to the other
computer with this IP
address. Once successfully received, the computer
replies to the ping with a
pong response. The time
between these two transmissions is calculated to
generate an average response or
latency time.

command,
meaning
network statistics, is
a
Command Prompt command used
to display
very
detailed information
about how your computer is
communicating with other computers
or network devices.

•Internet Protocol Configuration
(ipconfig) is a Windows console
application that has the ability to
gather all data regarding current
Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
configuration values and then display
this data on a screen.
Network connectivity
15-89
•Ipconfig also refreshes the Domain
Name System (DNS) and Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
settings each time it is invoked. When
invoked without additional parameters,
ipconfig simply displays the IP address,
default gateway and subnet mask for
all available adapters.
