Networks and Corporate Infrastructure
• A network consists of two or more connected
computers.
• Each computer on the network contains a
network interface device called a network
interface card (NIC).
• The connection medium for linking network
components can be a telephone wire, coaxial
cable, or radio signal in the case of cell phone
and wireless local area networks.

Networks and Corporate Infrastructure (Continued)
• The network operating system (NOS) routes and
manages communications on the network and
coordinates network resources.
• Networks also contain a switch or a hub acting as
a connection point between the computers.
• Hubs are very simple devices that connect
network components, sending a packet of data to
all other connected devices.

• A switch has more intelligence than a hub and
can filter and forward data to a specified
destination. Switches are used within individual
networks.
• A router is a special communications processor
used to route packets of data through different
networks, ensuring that the message sent gets to
the correct address.

CONTEMPORARY NETWORKING INFRASTRUCTURE
Client/Server Computing:
• Client/server computing is a distributed computing
model in which much of the processing power is
located within small, inexpensive client computers.
• The powerful clients are linked to one another
through a network that is controlled by a network
server computer.
• The server sets the rules of communication for the
network and provides every client with an address
so others can find it on the network.

CONTEMPORARY NETWORKING INFRASTRUCTURE
TCP/IP and Connectivity:
• TCP/IP is the communications protocol used by the
Internet and all Internet devices.
• TCP/IP provides for breaking up digital messages
into packets, routing them to the proper addresses,
and then reassembling them into coherent
messages.
• TCP/IP uses a suite of protocols: TCP and IP.

A LAN connects computers and other digital
devices within a short distance (One building or
several buildings in close proximity).
It allows all computer users to connect with each
other to share information and devices, such as
printers.
Cabling or wireless technology links computers,
network interface cards, and software
Ethernet is the dominant LAN standard.

addresses to English-like domain names.
• The domain name is the name that corresponds to
the unique 32-bit numeric IP address for each
computer connected to the Internet.
