Basics of Computer Networks

A computer network is a group of computers that use a set of common communication


protocols over digital interconnections for the purpose of sharing resources.

Types of Networks:
1. LAN (Local Area Network)
2. WAN (Wide Area Network)
3. MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
4. PAN (Personal Area Network)

Networking Devices:
- Router: Directs data packets between networks.
- Switch: Connects devices in a LAN and uses MAC addresses to forward data.
- Hub: Basic networking device that broadcasts data to all connected devices.

Protocols:
- TCP/IP: Foundation of internet communication.
- HTTP/HTTPS: For web browsing.
- FTP: File transfer protocol.
- DNS: Domain name system translating URLs to IP addresses.

OSI Model:
1. Physical
2. Data Link
3. Network
4. Transport
5. Session
6. Presentation
7. Application
