Networking

Bayani Gaba-gaba

Networking is a fundamental aspect of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) that entails the interconnection of multiple devices for the purpose of sharing resources and information. In the realm of computer networks, various types exist, each serving different scales and purposes. These include Personal Area Networks (PANs), Local Area Networks (LANs), Wide Area Networks (WANs), Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs), Millimeter Area Networks (Milne), Extinct Networks, and the ubiquitous Internet.

Personal Area Networks (PANs) are typically the smallest in scale, encompassing devices within an individual's workspace, such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets. On the other end of the spectrum, Wide Area Networks (WANs) span large geographical areas, connecting disparate locations like branch offices across different cities.

The topology of a network refers to its physical or logical layout, with common types being Star, Bus, and Ring configurations. In a Star topology, devices are connected to a central hub or switch, enabling efficient data transmission. Conversely, Bus topology features a single communication line shared by all devices, whereas a Ring topology involves devices forming a closed loop for data transfer.

Network devices play pivotal roles in ensuring seamless connectivity and data exchange within networks. Hubs serve as central connection points for devices, while Modems facilitate internet access via phone or cable lines. Switches direct data between devices within a network, ensuring efficient communication paths.

Routers guide data packets between different networks, determining the optimal path for information exchange. Gateways link disparate networks with varying protocols, facilitating seamless communication. Additionally, Repeaters amplify and retransmit signals to extend network coverage, enhancing connectivity.

Furthermore, Access Points Interface (APIs) provide access to network services, enabling the interaction of software components with networks. Network Interface Cards (NICs) are hardware components that allow devices to connect to networks, enabling data transmission.
