Advantages and Disadvantages f Netwrking Netwrking Advantages Reduced hardware csts Applicatin sharing Sharing infrmatin resurces Data management centralizatin Cnnecting peple Disadvantages Lss f autnmy Lack f privacy Security threats Lss f prductivity 18
Peer-t-peer (P2P) netwrks Lcal Area Netwrks Share files withut a file server Easy t set up Best used fr hme r small ffices with n mre than 10 cmputers D nt require a netwrk perating system Can be slw if there are t many users Security nt strng 19
Lcal Area Netwrks Peer-t-peer (P2P) netwrks 20
Lcal Area Netwrks Wireless LAN Cnnects users thrugh radi waves instead f wires Use includes netwrks in: Hmes Hspitals Clleges Secured with a radi transmissin technique that spreads signals ver a seemingly randm series f frequencies. Effective inside range f between 125 and 300 feet 21
Lcal Area Netwrks 22
Lcal Area Netwrks Client/server netwrks Made up f ne r mre file servers and clients (any type f cmputer) Client sftware enables requests t be sent t the server Wired r wireless cnnectins D nt slw dwn with heavy use 23
Lcal Area Netwrks 24
Lcal Area Netwrks Intranet Virtual private netwrk Passwrd-prtected netwrk cntrlled by the cmpany Accessed nly by emplyees Operates ver the Internet Accessible by authrized users fr quick access t crprate infrmatin Uses secure, encrypted cnnectins and special sftware 25
Lcal Area Netwrks LAN tplgies Netwrk tplgy Physical design f a LAN Tplgy reslves cntentin cnflict that ccurs when tw r mre cmputers n the netwrk attempt t transmit at the same time Cntentin smetimes results in cllisins crruptin f netwrk data caused when tw cmputers transmit at the same time 26
Lcal Area Netwrks LAN tplgies Bus tplgy Practical fr hme r small ffice One nde transmits at a time Terminatrs signify the end f the circuit Uses cntentin management technique that specifies what happens when a cllisin ccurs Star tplgy Ring tplgy Fr ffice buildings, cmputer labs, and WANs Easy t add users Fr a divisin f a cmpany r ne flr Nt in cmmn use tday Nde can transmit nly when it has the tken special unit f data that travels arund the ring 27

Wide Area Netwrks WAN prtcls (cn t.) Circuit switching Used by the public switched telephne netwrk t send data ver a physical end-t-end circuit Prvides a direct cnnectin between devices Packet switching Used fr cmputer cmmunicatin Divides and sends utging messages as packets, which are reassembled n receipt Mre efficient and less expensive than circuit switching Latency delay intrduced when a given packet is examined by many ruters Cngestin ccurs when the netwrk is verladed, causing sme packets t be further delayed 36
