Define the elements of communication
– 3 common elements of communication
• Message source
• The channel
• Message destination

Define a network
– Data or information networks capable of carrying
many different types of communications

A network is a set of hardware devices
connected together, either physically or
logically to allow them to exchange
information.


Define the components of a network
– Network components
• Hardware
• Software

End Devices and their Role in the Network
– End devices form interface with human network &
communications network
– Role of end devices:
• Client
• Server
• Both client and server

Identify the role of an intermediary device in
a data network and be able to contrast that
role with the role of an end device
– Role of an intermediary device
• Provides connectivity and ensures data
flows across network

Define network media and criteria for
making a network media choice
– Network media – this is the channel over which a
message travels

Networking Layers
◦ Networking technologies are most often
compartmentalized in this manner by dividing their
functions into layers, each of which contains
hardware and/or software elements.

Networking Models

Networking Architectures
◦ Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)
◦ An architecture is essentially a set of rules that
describes the function of some portion of the
hardware and software that constitute a stack of
layers.
11

A networking protocol defines a set of rules,
algorithms, messages and other mechanisms
that enable software and hardware in
networked devices to communicate
effectively. A protocol usually describes a
means for communication between
corresponding entities at the same OSI
Reference Model layer in two or more devices.
12
13
14

A connection-oriented protocol is one where
a logical connection is first established
between devices prior to data being sent.
15

In a connectionless protocol, data is just sent
without a connection being created.
16

TCP/IP, it has two main protocols that
operate at the transport layer of the OSI
Reference Model. One is the Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP), which is connectionoriented; the other, the User Datagram
Protocol (UDP), is connectionless.

◦ WMANs; IEEE 802.16 is an example of a WMAN
standard

Personal Area Networks (PANs)
23

Define Local Area Networks (LANs)
– A network serving a home, building or campus is
considered a Local Area Network (LAN)

Define Wide Area Networks (WANs)
– LANs separated by geographic distance are
connected by a network known as a Wide Area
Network (WAN)

Define the Internet
– The internet is defined as a global mesh of
interconnected networks
