In the previous, when two individuals have been keen to share information between one other, they have been tally on movable disks comparable floppy disks and CD-ROM. These methods of transmission information between distant computer systems are sometimes difficult particularly if the recordsdata power be transmitted fairly often.

Because of the above difficulties in transmission information throughout movable disks, the thought of networking two or extra pc has been arisen. Instead of transmission the recordsdata throughout movable disks, the computer systems are coupled to one other by cables by ports on the pc. When person must transmit the info to a different pc, he only can share the recordsdata he must transmit throughout the community. This means no movable disk is required and the matter is simpler.

When speaking about pc networking, one should differentiate between the various varieties that exist for the community. The pc community will be classified in accordance with the geographical space they occupy or in accordance with the way they may behave when sharing and accessing information between the computer systems inside the community.

Let us first see how they’re classified in accordance with the geographical space. The that means of this classification is how much the community will occupy or just what the scale of the community is. There are three varieties for any networks in accordance with this classification. They are the LAN, WAN, and MAN. The LAN (Local Area Network) has the smallest measure with respect to the opposite varieties. The LAN can occupy a room, a flooring, a constructing comparable firm, or at most a gaggle of contiguous buildings. The MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) can occupy an entire metropolis or possibly a whereas state. On the opposite hand, the WAN can occupy an entire nation, group of nations, and even the entire world.

The second classification is in accordance with the info distribution throughout the community and the way the computer systems which are coupled to one other are handled. There two forms of networks in accordance with this classification. The first one is peer to look community. The that means of this classification is that each one computer systems inside the community are handled as equal. Thus the scale of the info on one pc will be adequate to the scale on one other pc. Also the processing and storage energy of the all gadgets are equal. Thus there isn’t any pc on the community that’s accumulated in worth than the opposite pc. Hence the identify peer to look community.

The second rather networks in accordance with the above classification is the client-server community. In this kind, the matter is entirely different in that not all computer systems are equal in worth. At the least, there’s one pc (that acknowledged as the server) that has much processing energy and storage energy. Therefore the info is saved on that pc to be shared throughout the community. Every pc that wants some information that’s shared throughout the community can take it from the server solely. This is as a result of all computer systems apart from the server have much less sizes of recollection and likewise CPU energy.
