Internet, Networking and HTML

By Lorenc Cici and Peter McIlwee

Networking

• Hardware components of networks

• Different types of networks:– Personal Area Network

– Local Area Network

– Wide Area Network

– Virtual Private Network

Types of Networks

• Personal Area Network– Networking containing computer devices around a

personal computer, like scanners, printers etc.• Local Area Network

– Networking containing more than one computer in the same building, able to share information between them

• Wide Area Network– This network consists of a lot of computers connected by routers

and public communication links. Example: The internet

• Virtual Private Network– Information carried by open connections in a larger network, like

the internet. Enables user to access other desktops.

Hardware Components•Repeaters

-Receives signal and sends it back out at higher level to avoid degradation

•Bridges

-Local Bridges

-Connects LANs directly

-Remote Bridges

-Can create a WAN between LANs, older version of a router

-Wireless Bridges

-Connects remote stations to LANs

Hardware Continued

• Switches– Forwards and filters information between

ports

• Routers– Create a WAN between LANs by sending

information throughout a specific network

C-Program

We plan on starting by using Yana’s algorithm of a linear search:

– location = LinearSearch(array, SIZE, number); – if (location != -1 )

• printf("The value %d appears in place %d \n", number, location );

– else • printf("The value %d is not in the given array\n ",

number);
