📘 CHAPTER 7 – PART 1
Networking & Communication Basics
🟢 SLIDE 1: Networking and Communication
Trends
🔹 Convergence
Convergence means different types of networks merging into one system.
Earlier, there were two separate systems:
o Telephone network → used only for voice calls
o Computer network → used only for data (internet, files)
👉 Now both are combined into one digital network using Internet standards.
✔ Meaning: You can now call, chat, video call, and send data all using the internet.
🔹 Broadband
Broadband means high-speed internet connection.
It allows large amount of data to be transferred quickly.
👉 Example:
Streaming YouTube
Online gaming
Video calls
✔ Most households now use broadband instead of slow dial-up.
🔹 Broadband Wireless
Broadband wireless means internet without cables.
Uses:
o Wi-Fi
o Mobile data (4G/5G)
👉 Voice + data both travel through wireless networks now.
✔ Meaning: Internet is no longer fixed to wires.
🟢 SLIDE 2: What is a Computer Network?
🔹 Definition
A computer network is 2 or more connected computers that communicate with each
other.
👉 They share:
Data
Files
Resources (like printers)
🔹 Main Components of Network
1. Client and Server Computers
Client = user device (laptop, mobile)
Server = powerful computer that provides services
👉 Example:
You open Google → your phone is client, Google server sends data
2. Network Interface Card (NIC)
NIC is a hardware chip inside devices.
It allows device to connect to network.
👉 Without NIC → no internet connection possible.
3. Transmission Media (Connection Medium)
This is the path data travels through.
Wired media:
Ethernet cable
Fiber optic cable
✔ Fast and stable connection
Wireless media:
Wi-Fi
Radio waves
✔ Flexible but sometimes unstable
4. Network Operating System (NOS)
Special software that manages network.
Controls communication between computers.
👉 Example:
Windows Server
✔ It decides:
Who can access network
What data can be shared
5. Networking Devices
Router
Connects different networks together
Example: home internet router
Switch
Connects devices inside same network
Sends data only to correct device
Hub
Basic device
Sends data to all devices (less efficient)
6. Software Defined Networking (SDN)
Network controlled by software instead of hardware manually.
👉 Meaning:
Instead of configuring each device, a central software controls everything.
✔ Makes network smarter and faster to manage.
🟢 SLIDE 3: SDN (Software Defined
Networking)
🔹 What is SDN?
SDN is a modern networking system.
It separates:
o Control (decision making)
o Data movement (traffic flow)
👉 Control is handled by software controller.
🔹 How SDN works
1. Controller decides best path for data
2. Sends instructions to switches
3. Switches forward data accordingly
✔ Meaning: Central brain controls whole network
🔹 Advantages
Central control → easy management
Flexible → easy to change network
Scalable → can expand easily
Faster configuration → quick setup
🔹 Disadvantages
Single point failure → if controller breaks, system stops
Security risk → centralized system can be attacked
Needs new infrastructure → expensive setup
🟢 SLIDE 4: SDN vs Traditional Networking
🔹 Traditional Networking
Each device decides its own rules
Manual configuration required
Hard to manage large networks
🔹 SDN Networking
Central controller decides everything
Easy software-based control
Faster updates and changes
🔹 Key Differences Explained
Control:
o Traditional → distributed
o SDN → centralized
Configuration:
o Traditional → manual setup
o SDN → software-based
Scalability:
o Traditional → limited growth
o SDN → easily expandable
Cost:
o Traditional → expensive hardware
o SDN → cheaper hardware
🟢 SLIDE 5: Simple Computer Network
(Figure 7.1)
Explanation:
This diagram shows:
PCs (clients) → used by users
Switch → connects PCs
Server → stores data and manages network
Router → connects to internet
👉 Flow:
PC → Switch → Server → Router → Internet
✔ Meaning: All devices are connected through central system.
🟢 SLIDE 6: Networks in Large Companies
Large companies use complex networks.
🔹 LANs (Local Area Networks)
Small internal networks in offices or departments
🔹 Corporate Network
Connects all LANs together in company

Internet connects company to outside world
Servers manage data and applications
Employees use:
o PCs
o mobile phones
o Wi-Fi networks
✔ Meaning:
All communication flows through centralized systems + internet.
🟢 SLIDE 8: Client/Server Computing
🔹 What is it?
Network model where:
o Client requests data
o Server provides data
🔹 Explanation:
Clients = users (phones, laptops)
Server = central system
🔹 How it works:
1. Client sends request
2. Server processes request
3. Server sends response
🔹 Importance:
Replaced old mainframe systems
Internet works on this model
✔ Example:
Google search = client sends query → Google server responds
🟢 SLIDE 9: Packet Switching
🔹 What is it?
Data is broken into small pieces called packets.
🔹 How it works:
1. Message is split into packets
2. Packets travel different routes
3. Destination reassembles them
🔹 Advantage:
Faster communication
Efficient network usage
No fixed path required
🔹 Old system comparison:
Circuit switching = one fixed path (slow)
Packet switching = multiple paths (fast)
🟢 SLIDE 10: TCP/IP Model
🔹 What is TCP/IP?
Rules for internet communication.
🔹 4 Layers:
1. Application Layer
User services like:
o Web browsing
o Email
2. Transport Layer
Ensures data delivery
TCP = reliable
UDP = fast
3. Internet Layer
Finds best path for data (routing)
4. Network Access Layer
Sends data physically (cables/Wi-Fi)
✔ Meaning: Every internet action uses these 4 layers.
