INTRODUCTION TO INTERNET

• In the early days, most people just used the


internet to search for information. Today's
internet is a constantly evolving tool that not
only contains an amazing variety of
information, but also provides new ways of
accessing, interacting and connecting with
people and content. As a result, new terms
are constantly appearing as new
technologies are introduced.
INTRODUCTION TO INTERNET
The internet is the most cost-effective communications method in
the world, in which the following services are instantly available:
• Email
• Web-enabled audio/video conferencing services
• Online movies and gaming
• Data transfer/file-sharing, often through File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) • Instant messaging
• Internet forums
• Social networking
• Online shopping
• Financial services
Time-Line and brief history of Internet with its
application we can get idea from below figure
Advantages of Internet

• E-mail
• 24 hours a day - 7 days a week: availability
• Information
• Online Chat
• Net banking
• E-commerce
• Entertainment
• Software Downloads
Limitations of Internet
• Theft of Personal information
• Negative effects on family communication
• Internet addiction
• Children using the Internet
• Virus threat
Computer Network
• Computer network is a collection of
autonomous computers and devices
connected to each other
• The computers can be geographically located
anywhere. The term autonomous implies that
the computers can function independently of
others. However, the network allows
computers to communicate with each other
and to share resources and information.
Computer Network
• In a short period of time computer networks
have become an indispensable part of
business, industry, entertainment as well as all
aspects of our daily life. The computer that
provides resources to other computers on a
network is known as server. In the network
the individual computers, which access shared
network resources, are known as workstations
or nodes
Importance of Computer Network
Important benefits of computer networks are:
• Resource sharing – sharing program, data, peripheral devices like printers,
scanners, CD-ROM etc.
• Powerful communication system – Computer network provides a powerful
communication system (e-mail, teleconferencing, and video conferencing)
among widely separated people.
• Scalability – Computer network provides ability to increase system
performance gradually as workload grows just by adding more processor in
the network.
• Security – Security starts with the login procedure to ensure that a user
accesses the network using his or her own user account.
• Lower cost.
• Higher reliability.
• Higher flexibility.
Different types of Computer Network
There are three types of computer networks based on geographical area

LAN is data communication system that allows number of independent


computers to communicate directly with each other in a limited
geographic area.
LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN)
• Local Area Network, generally
called LANs, is privately owned
network within a single
building, or inside buildings
close to each other. This usually
Single Building LAN
spans about 0 to 5 kilometers
and is generally a private
network owned by an
organization. For example:
Office LAN, Hospital LAN,
Campus-wide LAN, etc.
LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN)
• Local Area Network, generally
called LANs, is privately owned
network within a single
building, or inside buildings
close to each other. This usually
spans about 0 to 5 kilometers
Multiple Building LAN
and is generally a private
network owned by an
organization. For example:
Office LAN, Hospital LAN,
Campus-wide LAN, etc.
LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN)
Advantages
• The reliability of network is high because the failure of
one computer in the network does not affect the
functioning of other computers.
• High speed and error free data transmission is
possible - 10 Mbps to 1000 Mbps and more.
• Peripheral devices like magnetic disk and printer can
be shared by other computers.
• Addition of new computer to network is easy.
• Lower cost.
METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK (MAN)
• A Metropolitan Area Network,
or MAN, is basically a bigger
version of a LAN and normally
uses similar technologies. This
usually spans 5-50 kilometers
of range. It might cover a
group of nearby corporate
offices or a complete city and
might be either private or
public. Speed is about 10
MBPS standard. Its reliabilityMAN
is is a network designed to extend over as
entire city.
moderate.
WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN)
• A Wide Area Network, or WAN, spans a large
geographical area (unlimited), often a country or
continent. WAN is more sophisticated and
Expensive technology. Data transfer rate is low (few
KBPS to 10 MBPS) and error rate is much higher

Wide Area Network


Personal Area Network (PAN)
• Personal Area Network is an ad hoc type network
operable over a small area such as a room.
Bluetooth wireless technology which is a short
range radio technology is developed for Personal
Area Network (PAN). Bluetooth wireless
technology makes it possible to transmit signals
over short distances between telephones,
computers and other devices and thereby simplify
communication and synchronization between
devices.
Difference between LAN and WAN
• LAN is restricted to limited geographical area of few kilometers,
but WAN covers long distance even worldwide.
• In LAN, the computers are connected with wires and coaxial
cables but in WAN communication are done through telephone
lines and satellite links.
• Cost of data transmission in LAN is less because the transmission
medium is owned by a single organization. In the case of WAN the
cost of data transmission is very high because the transmission
medium used is hired either telephone lines or satellite links.
• Few data transmission errors occur in LAN compared to WAN.
• In LAN the speed of data transmission (0.1 to 100 megabyte per
second) is much higher than WAN (1800 to 9600 byte per second).
Hardware Requirements for Network
(Wired LAN)
• Two or more computers
• Switch or Hub
• LAN card with each computer
• Cable and Connector
• Operating System
