Every one is uses internet right? It is widely used in entire world. It can give many benefits to the people who used it, like it can communicate two people despite of the distances; it gives more information in things you would like to know by searching it in the net,it is very useful to everybody and many more.. But does every one know how this technology works? i think no.. even myself before doesn’t know how those things happen and works. But since someone teaches us about that stuff it gives us knowledge in technology world. He teaches many things that we never knew before. And thanks to him atleast now we learn a lot. We talked more focus in networking. We’ve learned that the when the two or more computers are connected to each other called networks. One of these computers will act as server which is the central storage of files and other application server including the sharing of printers and the computer that are connected to the server are called clients. Server is the program that awaits and fulfills the request of the clients program in the network. We also tackle wirings and cables like twisted pairs, coaxial and optical fibers. U-Twisted pair is the most common cable used in computer networking.It often groups in 25 pairs according to standards 25 pair color code and used often for phone lines. Coaxial is an electrical cable consisting of a round conducting wire.It used as a high frequency transmission line to carry a high frequency broadband signal. It resembles around cable TV wiring and still carries cable television signal. Long coaxial canle is used to connect radio networks and television networks. Optical fiber widely used in fiber optic communication which permits transmission over long distance and at a higher data in any form of communication. It also used to connect desktop and workstation to the network and link to adjacent buildings. Network Interface Card or NIC a piece of computer hardware that installed in a computer system which allows computer to communicate over a computer network. It allows user to connect to each other either by using cables or wirings.Hubs a device that interconnect the client and server repeating for amplifying signal between them. It also joins multiple computers together to form a single network segment. On this network segments all computers can directly communicate each other. We also talk about bridges which is similar to hubs it is a single port of switch. It is a device that connect network at physical layers. Switches, smarter than hubs and offer more bandwidths. It can support multiple conversation and move much traffic through the network. Routers a device that extracts the destination of a packet it receives select the best path to the destination and forward data packets to the next device along the path. It connect the LAn and Wan to access the internet. Bandwidth, it is a data carrying capacity in the computer connection used as indication of speed.We discuss also the Lan technologies like token ring a lan technologies which all computers are connected in a ring form and bit or token passing scheme in order to prevent the collision of data bet two computers that want to send message at the same time. FDDI or fiber distributed data interface a lan technologies based 100mBs token passing network running over fiber optic cable usually reserved for network backbones in a large organization and composed 2 ring 16MBs.Remote access is the ability to get access to a computer network from a network distance.
