    NETWORK & INTERNET

    What is network?
    • Network is a group of two or more computers that are linked together.

    Why do we need a network?


    • We need a network for communication or to share our resources.

    How to create a network?


    • To create a network, we need some kind of connection between the sending and receiving machines.
    That connection can be a wired or wireless connection. So through the connection, the data will move
    from one device to another device.
    HOW MANY TYPES OF NETWORK DO YOU KNOW?
    • There are many different types on networks available. Network can be
    differentiated by their size, structure. distance, and purpose. So
    networks are divided mainly into four types:

    • PAN (Personal Area Network)


    • LAN ( Local Area Network)
    • MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
    • WAN ( Wide Area Network)
    LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN)

    • LAN is a collection of devices connected together in one physical location, such as a building, office, or
    home. A LAN can be small or large, ranging from a home network with one user to an enterprise
    network with thousands of users and devices in an office or school.

    • When computers connect to


    each other on the same
    network, it is called a local area
    network, or LAN.
    WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN)

    WAN is a type of network that provides transmission of


    voice, data, images, and videos over the large
    geographical area. WAN is made with the combinations
    of LAN and MAN. The transmission of data is carried out
    with the help of hubs, switches, fiber optics, modem, and
    routers.

    When multiple networks are connected to each


    other, it is called a wide area network, or WAN.
    WHAT IS ROUTER IN NETWORKING? WHAT IS MODEM?
    • Router is an internetworking device, that • It is a networking device that
    receives IP packets from one computer modulates digital data from a computer
    network and forwards it to another computer into analog signals for transmission over
    network. a communication line.
    • A router is a device that connects two or more
    packet-switched networks or subnetworks.
    INTERNET
    • A global system of interconnected computers, using a standardized
    Internet Protocol suite for communication and sharing information is
    called the Internet.
    ISP
    • ISP stands for Internet Service Provider. This helps in providing direct
    access for using the internet from your office or home, connected
    through landlines. With the introduction of Wi-fi and broadband,
    connecting to the Internet has become wireless.
    IP ADDRESS
    • The Internet Protocol address is a numerical identification code
    assigned for any device connected to a network. It acts as an
    identification interface for Internet users.
    WORLD WIDE WEB
    • World Wide Web or ‘www’ is a collection of webpages which can
