Network Topologies
1. What is Topologies?
Topology is the shape of the network.
2. What are the types of Topologies?
• Bus Topology
• Star Topology
• Ring Topology
• Mesh Topology
• Hybrid Topology
3. What is the first topology?
Bus topology
4. What is the most common topology now?
Star topology
Bus Topology
• All the computer (servers, client computers) and other networking devices (Printers) are
connected in a linear Backbone Cable.
Client 1 Client 3
Client 2 Server
Printer
Terminator Terminator
‘T’ connector
Backbone cable (Coaxial
cable)

• Both end of the back bone cable is terminated by the terminators.
• All the computers are connected with a backbone cable by using ‘T’ connectors.
• The terminators at the both ends prevent the data from data loss and prevent the data signals
to bounce back.
Advantages of Bus topology
• It is very cost effective (cheap to implement
• No need of switch and hubs
Disadvantages of Bus topology
• Scalability is very less
• If there is any problem in the backbone cable or connectors, the entire network will fail.
• It is suitable only for small network.

• All the components and other networking devices are connected with the centralized hub or
switch.
• Star topology is one of the most common computer network topology today.
Advantages of star Topology
• Scalability is very high.
• Better performance.
• Isolation of devices.
• Simplicity
Disadvantages of star Topology
• The primary disadvantage of star Topology is the high dependence of the centralized hub or
switch.
• If the centralized hub or switch fails due to power failure or hardware failure the entire network
will fail.
Ring Topology
Client 3
Client 4 Client 2
Client 1
6
• Computers are connected in a ring like fashion.
• Each nod connected to exactly two other nodes forming a single continues pathway for signals
to travel through each node.
• Data travels from node to node.
• It works based on token – Ring standards.
• Data flow in unidirectional in ring topology.
• Token contains the data, source MAC address and Destination MAC address.
Advantages
• No data collision – Because data flow is unidirectional
• Every computer acts as a repeater, it regenerates the signals (tokens) on its own.
• Does not require network server to manage the connectivity between computers.
• Performs better than a star topology under heavy network load.
Ring

• Every device has access to the token and the opportunity to transmit.
Disadvantages
• If any one of the node fails or any problem in the cable can create problems for the entire
network.
• Slower than an Ethernet network.
• Network cards are expensive than Ethernet network cards.
• Moves, adds and charges of devices can affect the entire network.
Mesh Topology:
• All the computers are interconnected with every other computer in mesh topology.
• Dedicated connection.
Node 1 Node 2
Node 3 Node 4

Advantages:
• High fault tolerance
• Mesh network is very reliable.
• Mesh topology is suitable for wireless networks.
Disadvantages:
• It requires more cable segments and more network adaptors.
• It is highly impractical in wired networks.
Hybrid Topology
• It is the combination of two network topologies.
• The resulting network does not exhibit one of the standard topologies (e.g. Star, Ring, etc.)
Example: Star + Bus network = Hybrid topology.

Hub
• A hub is a small electronic devices, that joins multiple computers and other networking devices
such as printers, routers, modems, together within a local area networking (LAN).
• A hub is common connection point for networking devices in a network.
• Hub receives signals from one device and broadcasts it to all other devices in the network.

Types of Hub
1. Active Hub
2. Passive Hub
Passive Hub
• A passive hub passes signals along (or) broadcasts signals but has no addition capability ie, it
doesn’t contain amplifier to regenerate the signals.
• It doesn’t require external power supply
Active Hub
• An active hub is a hub that includes a signal amplifier. It regenerate or amplifies signals and
passes them along.
• It requires external power supply.

Difference between hub and switch
Hub Switch
Hub works in the physical layer of the OSI model; it
is a layer 1 device.
Switch works in the data link layer of the OSI
model; It is a layer 2 device.
Hub always broadcasts data packets Switch broadcasts data packets for the first time,
second time own wards it unicasts data packets.
Hub shoes the band width Switch doesn’t share the band width
Hub doesn’t understand the MAC address Switch can understand the MAC address
Hub doesn’t maintains the MAC table Switch maintains the MAC table
Network traffic and data collision is high Network traffic and data collision is very less
Differences between switch and router
Router Switch
Router is used to connect two different networks Switch connects different computers within one
network.
Router works in the network layer of the OSI
model, It is a layer 3 devices.
Switch works in the data link layer of the OSI
model. It is a layer model.
A router works on the principal of IP address A switch work on the principal of MAC address.
Routers have their own in built operating system
and they need to be configured before used.
Most of the switches do not require any prior
configuration and are usually ready to use.
Routers are much more sophisticated and
intelligent network device as compared to
switches.
In comparison with router switches are less
sophisticated and less intelligent.
A routers inbuilt hardware and software makes
use of routing algorithms to compute the best
possible path for routing data packets across
different computer networks.
A switch does not perform any such activity.
Different between FAT and NTFS
FAT NTFS
File Allocation Table New Technology File System
FAT volume can be converted to NTFS volume NTFS cannot be converted to FAT32 volume
FAT does not support file compression NTFS support file compression & encryption
FAT provides very little security. It support share
level security only. It doesn’t support file level and
folder level security.
NTFS provide high level security it supports share
level, file level and folder level security.
FAT volume are recognized by all versions of
windows O/S starting from win-98 up to win -7

3 types of Internet Connection
1. Dial-up:
• The internet connection that is established by using telephones and telephone lines as a
medium is known as dialup internet connection.
• Telephone remains busy while ac
• A modem is used to connect the computer to the ISP. Once the connection is established an
activity called “handshaking” takes place between the modem and the remote server.
• The dialup internet connection is also known as ‘transient
connection can be terminated by either the ISP or the other user
• Dialup connection supports up to 56kbps bandwidth.
2. Broadband:
• If any internet connection that support 512kbps or higher bandwidth will be considered as
broadband internet connection.
• Broadband means a wide range of frequencies used to transmit and receive data.
• In broadband IC, the data transfer rates are very high as compared to the dialup internet
connection.
• We can use telephone while accessing the int

• There are various types of broadband internet connections, depending upon the cost , speed
and availability.
1. ADSL
2. SDSL
3. Wireless broadband
4. Cable broadband
5. Satellite broadband
6. Fiber optic broadband
3. Cable Internet Connection:
• Internet can be accessed via the cable TV connection
• The cable TV is used by almost everybody and now the internet connection is also made
available along with the cable TV channels.
• Cable broadband Internet connection provides a speed ranging from 2mbps to 10 mbps
• It is more poplar compared to the ADSL internet connection
• The downloading and uploading speeds of cable & ADSL are the same

OSI – Reference model
OSI – Open System Inter Connection
• OSI model was designed by ISO – International Standard Organization.
• OSI model is logical model; it is not a physical model.
• There are seven virtual layers in OSI model each layer performs a well defined function.
• Without OSI (or) TCP/IP model data communication is not possible between computer in a local
area network as well as in the internet.

1. Application Layer
This layer is point of contact between the user and the network therefore; it brings the basic
network service to the user, such as file transfer, email, remote login.
• Protocols: HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, Telnet, Pop3
2. Presentation Layer
This layer deals with the syntax and semantics of the transmitted data, it processes the data so
as to make it compatible between communicating tasks. This layers can covert, format, encrypt
and compress the data
3. Session Layer
This layer sets up and synchronizes the exchange between distant processes. It binds logical
addresses for distributable tasks.
4. Transport Layer
• The layer is responsible for the good/reliable delivery of messages to the recipient /
destination. Its main road is to take the messages of the session layer, split them in to
smaller units (segments) and give them to the network layer.
• This layer can use one network connection to transport several messages at the same time
using multiplexing unit.
• This layer is also responsible for flow control. The information unit for this layer is the
message or segment.
• Protocols in Transport layer(TCP/UDP)
5. Network Layer
• This layer is in charge of sub network ie. The routing packets over the subnet work and the
inter connection on the various sub networks.
• The information unit for this layer is the ip packets.
• Protocols of the network layer: IP, IPSEP, ICMP, IGMP, RIP, IGRP, EGRP, OSPF.

6. Data Link Layer
• It has a role of binder, it splits input data of the sender in to frames since this frames in
sequence and manages the acknowledgment frames send back by the receiver.
• An important role of this layer consists in detecting and correcting errors that occurs in the
physical error.
• This layer integrates also a flow control function to avoid the blocking of the receiver.
• The information unit of this layer is data frame.
• Protocol: PPTP, L2TP, MAC, ARP, RARP.
7. Physical Layer
• This layer is in charge of the transmission of bits over a communication channel.
• This layer must guarantee perfect transmission of the data.
• The information of this layer is the binary bits.
• Devices at physical layer: Physical layer has no additional functionality, but it depend on
data link layer for all the function
• Devices working at physical layer: Hub, repeater, Cable, connector such as RJ11, RJ45,
Ethernet, token ring, ATM, Frame riley.

• Protocols in Transport layer(TCP/UDP)
• It has the same role as the transport layer of the original model.
• Its role is to split up the message to be transmitted into a form the internet layer can
handle.
3. Internet layer
• This layer is in charge of sub network ie. The routing packets over the subnet work and the
inter connection on the various sub networks.
• The information unit for this layer is the ip packets.
• Protocols of the network layer: IP, IPSEP, ICMP, IGMP, RIP, IGRP, EGRP, OSPF.
• This layer is responsible for the inter connection of the remote networks without
establishing a physical connection. Its role is to inject packets in to any network and
deliver to the destination independently to one another.
4. Host- to – network layer
• This layer seems to cover both physical and data link layer of the OSI model.
• This layer has not been really specified the only constrain of this layer is to allow a host to
send a IP packets of a network.
• There is no protocols
• Devices working at physical layer: Hub, repeater, Cable, connector such as RJ11, RJ45,
Ethernet, token ring, ATM, Frame riley.

Similarities:
• They share similar architecture both of them are constructed with layers
• They share a common application layer
• Both models have comparable transport and network layers
• Both models assume that packets are switched; basically this means that individual packets may
take different path in order to reach the same destination.

Wireless communication Techniques
• Wireless communication is the transfer of information over a distance without the use of
electrical conductors or wires.
The distance involved may be
1. Short distance WC – a few meters as in Television remote control.
2. Long distance WC – thousands or millions of kilometers for radio communications (Radio, TV,
broadcasting )
Example of Wireless communication devices
1. Mobile phone (or) cellular phones
2. Cordless telephones
3. PDA (Personal Digital Assistant)
4. Wireless computer networking
5. Wireless mouse and keyboard
6. TV remote control
7. Satellite TV & Radio
Advantages of Wireless network
• Wireless communications permit services such as long distance communications, which are
impossible or impractical to implement with the use of wires.
• It covers greater distance.
• No need of cables and connectors.

Energy we use to transfer data wirelessly.
• Radio frequency (RF)
• Infra red light or wave
• Laser light
• Visible light
• Sound energy
• Microwaves (or) electromagnetic wave
Bluetooth
• Bluetooth is an open wireless protocol for exchanging data over short distance (using short
length radio waves) from fixed and mobile devices.
• Bluetooth is a standard and a communication protocol primarily designed for low power
consumption, with a short range based on low – cost transceiver microchips in each devices.
• Bluetooth makes it possible for these devices to communicate each other when they are in
range, because the devices use radio waves, they do not have to be in line of sight of each other.
Infrared
• Infrared radiation is electromagnetic radiation with the wave length between 07 and 300 micro
meters, which equates to a frequency range between approximately 1 and 400 htz.
• Its wave length is longer when the frequency is lower
• Its wave length is Shorter when the frequency is higher
• Shorter
§ Shorter infrared waves are not hot at all in fact you cannot even feel them. These
shorter wave lengths are the ones used by your TV’s remote control.
§ Far infrared waves: we experience this type of infrared radiation everyday in the form of
heat.
§ The heat that we feel from sunlight, a fire, a radiator is infrared.
Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi)
§ Wi-Fi is a wireless LAN technology that enables laptops, PDAs, and other devices to connect
easily to the internet.
§ Wi-Fi is sometimes called “Wireless Ethernet”
§ Wi-Fi is less expensive and nearing he speeds of standard Ethernet and other common wirebased
LAN technologies.
§ Wi-Fi uses the same radio frequencies as Bluetooth but with higher power, resulting a stronger
connection.
§ Wi-Fi enables a faster connection, better ranges from the base station , and better security than
Bluetooth.

1- The World Wide Web (www) or simply the web is global information medium. Users can read and
write via computers connected to the internet.
2- The term is often mistakenly as a synonym for the internet itself, but the web is a service that
operates over the internet, as e-mail does -> the World Wide Web is a system of interlinked hyper
text documents accessed via the internet.
3- The world wide web was invented in 1989 by the English physicist Tim Berners – Lee

3-ARPNET was the first internet, invented by
ARPA.
How can we protect small office or home office or computer network?
1- Install or implement basic hardware firewall at the gateway
2- Install Antivirus software (AVG, McAfee, E-scan, Symantec etc)
3- Use username & password for all user accounts
4- Assign Static IP Address to all client computers
5- When using a wireless connection, use the strongest security technique such as WPA or WPA2
6- Install a fairly strong hardware firewall
33
7- Install a proxy server to keep unwanted people out.
8- Install antivirus server and update it regularly.
9- For authentication, use strong password and change it on weekly base.
Various Memory
1. Cache memory
2. Virtual memory
3. Secondary memory
4. Main memory
Main Memory
• Main memory is also known as internal memory, Primary memory, memory.
• Internal storage area in the computer, the term memory indentifies data storage that comes in
form of chips and the word storage is used for memory that exists on disk or tapes.
• Main memory has arrays of boxes each of which can hold a single byte of information.
ROM RAM
ROM SRAM
PROM DRAM
EPROM SDRAM
EEPROM RDRAM
DDR I
DDR II
DDR III
Characteristics of Main Memory
• Main memory is volatile memory
• CPU can directly access main memory (RAM)
• Storage capacity of main memory is very less compared to secondary storage devices.
Secondary memory (or) storage
Characteristics of Secondary memory (or) storage
• Secondary storage devices are non volatile memory
• Permanent memory
• CPU access secondary storage devices through input / Output channels.
• Storage capacity is huge compared to main memory.
34
• Secondary storage devices are used to store huge amount of data permanently for future use.
• Data is kept for a longer time on secondary storage devices.
• Secondary storage does not loss the data when the device is power down.
• Eg. Internal Hard Disk, External Hard Disk, CD/DVD, Floppy Disk, Magnetic Tape, Pen Drive
Virtual Memory
Virtual memory is a computer system technique which use an application program the impression that it
has contagious working memory. While in fact it may be physically fragmented and may even over
flower on to disk storage.
Cache memory
• Cache memory is the smallest memory among all.
• Cache memory is the fastest memory among all. (Speed of cache memory is the equal to the
speed of processor.)
• CPU contains cache memory.
• A cache memory is used by the processor (CPU) to reduce the average time to access the main
memory (RAM)

WINS & DNS
WINS –Windows Internet Name Service
DNS –Domain Name Service
• WINS & DNS are both name resolution service for TCP / IP networks.
• Environments that include some computers that use NetBIOS names (win-98, Win-NT, Win-me)
and other computers that use domain names (win-XP, vista, 7, 2000, 2003, 2008) most include
both wins and DNS servers.
• The server which provides wins services to the client computers is called as wins server.
• The server which provides DNS services to t he client computers is known as DNS servers.
• If you are using NetBIOS over TCP / IP you will need to have Wins server running so that each
computer can find the correct IP address of the other to communicate.
• If you are using Domain names over TCP / IP you will need to have DNS server running so that
each computer can find the correct IP address of the other to communicate.
What is an IP address?
• An IP address is a unique numeric identifier for a host, printer, router, modem, placed in
network.
• An IP address (internet Protocol address) will allow the host to communicate with other host in
a network.
• Networking devices will be assigned IP addresses in order to identify and communicate with
each other in a network utilizing the internet protocol.
• Any participating network device including routers, switches, client and server computers,
network printers, internet fax machines, modems, and some IP telephones can have it own IP
address that is unique within the scope of the specific network.
• IP addresses are created and managed by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authorities (IANA).
• If IP address is not assigned to a computer that particular device cannot participate in the
network.
