CHAPTER TWO NETWORKING SYSTEMS AND LOCAL AREA NETWORKS (LAN) A network is a system of two or more computers that are connected in some manner. Each computer on the network has access to the files and peripheral equipment (such as printers or modems) on all the other computers on the network. The origin of local area networks can be traced‚ in part‚ to IBM terminal equipment introduced in 1974. At that time‚ IBM introduced a series of terminal devices designed for use in transaction-processing

Computer Networks NETWORKING CONCEPTS Network A network is basically an interconnection of various points to make a connected system e.g Road‚ Telephone‚ Social Data Network A computer network therefore refers to an interconnection of computers and other peripherals by use of a communication link Peer to Peer Networks In a peer-to-peer network‚ all computers are considered equal; they all have the same abilities to use the resources available on the network. Peer-to-peer networks are designed

COMMUNICATION NETWORK Communication network are large system distributed in wide area which are designed to send and receive information from one computer to another computer and this computers are called host. Network achieves this providing a set of rules which in terms of networking are called protocols. This protocols are set for communication which every host should follow and participate. The network is made up of two types of components: Nodes and

1. Introduction With the rapid development of new communications technology and network technology‚ some industries such as information industry show significant network externality characteristics. Network externality has been defined as "a change in the benefit‚ or surplus‚ that an agent derives from a good when the number of other agent consuming the same kind of good changes" (Liebowitz & Margolis‚ 1996). In other words‚ the product will be more valuable if more people use it. For example

INTRODUCTION In today’s modern world computer networks are the basic source of information exchange for all types of businesses. Different technologies are used within the context of networking depending on the requirements of an organization. Ethernet is off course the best technology for the “local area network” (LAN)‚ but when the organization spread their business to much longer distances (cities) then WAN technologies need to be deployed to keep the business running. The selection of an appropriate
