that they can communicate with each other.
Network = Connectivity +

Network Types
Local Area Network (LAN)
A high speed network that covers a relatively small geographic
area, contained within a single building or campus.
Wide Area Network (WAN)

A network that spans large geographical locations, usually to
interconnect
multiple LANs.
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

A network that spans several LANs across a city-wide
geographic area.
Five Components of Communication
Sender

Medium
Protocol
Message
Protocol
Rules that govern the method by which
devices share data and services.
Types of Communication
Topology
Mesh Topology
Star Topology
Bus Topology
Ring Topology
Hybrid Topology
Internet
internet
is two or more networks that can communicate
with each other.
Internet
is collaboration of more than hundreds of
thousands of interconnected networks.
OSI Model
Established in 1947, the International
Standards Organization (ISO) is a

multinational body dedicated to worldwide
agreement on international standards.
In 1978, Open System Interconnection (OSI)
model was introduced.

ISO is the organisation. OSI is the
model.

The Function of a Layer

Each layer deals with one aspect of
networking
Layer 1 deals with the communication media
Each layer communicates with the
adjacent layers
In both directions
Ex: Network layer communicates with:
Transport layer
Data Link layer
Each layer formats the data packet

Ex: Adds or deletes addresses
OSI Model
OSI in Action
A message begins at the top application layer
and moves down the OSI layers to the bottom

physical layer.
As the message descends, each successive
OSI model layer adds a header to it.
A header is layer-specific information that
basically explains what functions the layer
carried out.
Conversely, at the receiving end, headers are
striped from the message as it travels up the
corresponding layers.
