1. Definition of Computer Networking
Computer networking is the interconnection of computers and devices to share resources, data, and services using communication channels.
2. Types of Networks
a) LAN (Local Area Network)
Covers a small area (school, office, home)
High speed
Example: Computer lab network
b) MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
Covers a city or large town
Connects multiple LANs
c) WAN (Wide Area Network)
Covers large geographical areas (countries/continents)
Example: The Internet
3. Network Topologies
Bus – All devices share one communication line
Star – All devices connect to a central hub/switch
Ring – Devices connected in a circular form
Mesh – Devices interconnected with multiple paths
Tree – Combination of star and bus
4. Network Devices
Router – Connects different networks
Switch – Connects devices within a network
Hub – Broadcasts data to all devices
