1 Chapter Summary: Networking is essential to modern computing. Networking requires a transmission medium to carry information from one computer device to another. Transmission media are rated in terms of their: bandwidth, signal-to-noise ratio, bit error rate and attenuation. Copper wire has been the most widely used network conductor, primarily in the form of coaxial and twisted pair cable. Fiber-optic cable has a much higher band-width than copper conductors. Cat 5 is a twisted pair copper cable used most commonly in Ethernet networks; it has a transmission speed of up to 100 Mbps. Wireless technologies allow networking to be conducted by using electromagnetic waves or light. The IEEE family of standards applies to wireless networking. A protocol is a set of rules designed to facilitate communication and is essential to networking. The OSI defines a set of protocols necessary for data communication; the 7 protocol layers are: Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, Application. The main network types are: WAN, LAN, WLAN. LAN topologies are: Star, Ring and Bus. The most popular LAN technology is Ethernet, and token ring is another LAN technology. Various hardware devices are used in networking, such as NICs repeaters, hubs, switches, bridges, gateways routers and firewalls. Voice telephone service is widely used to extend networks, and modems handle the conversion from digital binary to analog audio to make using voice networks possible. Transmission media are shared among users by using FDM and TDM techniques. DSL, cable modems, and satellite are popular broadband WAN solutions.
