Unit 4, Assignment 1
Learning Objective 1: Know about networking management tools and technologies
Task 1
Davide Palma 2
Operative systems• The Operative System is an huge program which:• Initialise hardware• Gives the user a way to communicate with hardware• Gives the user an user interface to use the computer• Gives the user the ability to run programs or commands
Almost every OS is • Multi-Tasking (Has the ability to switch between applications)• Multi–User (Different users can log in and use the same file at the same time)• Not Real-Time (Unpredictable execution times)• Batch (Shift jobs in free periods)
• Operative Systems are very different and slightly purpose-specific
Davide Palma 3
Windows™Belongs to
Closed source (its behaviour belongs to MS)Used by 90,52% of desktops [1]
Preinstalled in almost every PCPowerful and easy to use
There is a server versionThere is a mobile version
You have to buy it! Business licenses can be very expensive!
Davide Palma 4
Just Linux for friends
Open source: It means that you can study its code and modify its behaviour basing on YOUR needs
Completely free! Plenty of Linux versions (distributions) made for different purposes
There are plenty of server distrosThe mobile OS Android is actually a GNU/Linux distro
A clone of the UNIX OS: It is defined “Unix-Like”Used on 99.40% of supercomputers [1]
Can be Real-Time with a patch
No technical supportIf something breaks, you will be on your own!
Davide Palma 5
macOS (previously known as Mac OS X)
Belongs to
• Closed source, like Windows
• It cannot be installed on normal PCs
• Used only on 7,37 % of computers [1]
There is a server versionThere is a mobile version (iOS)
Davide Palma 6
Protocols• Protocols are essentially rules that explain how things are made and
how they should work• They are essential: Can you imagine driving without rules?
No, because you won’t even know what is a road, what is a car, what does it do and how it works!!!
Davide Palma 7
TCP/IP (read as TCP over IP)
• The Internet Protocol is used to establish routes between computers.
• The Transmission Control Protocol is used to encapsulate data into packets that are sent or received using the Internet Protocol.
Its main features are the check for packet damage (checksum) and the automatic retransmission if some packets are lost or damaged.
Davide Palma 8
HTTP(S) – Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (Secure)• HTTP use port 80, HTTPS use port 443 of the TCP.
• It is used to transfer data, mostly HTML code, which mean website• It has a request-response model [1]
• It is designed to be FAST [1]
• HTTPS is a encrypted version of HTTP. Data transferred using HTTPS can be seen just from the receiver and from the sender.
FTP• The File Transfer Protocol uses the port 21 of TCP.• Connection can be crypted• Remote drivers can be mounted so they look like local

Network topologies
9
Connecting various devices of the network
Every topology has some advantages and disadvantages
Topology =
Davide Palma 10
StarSometimes data go through a central device
Quite expensive
Central device breaking is fatal
Device breaking is not fatal
Very fast!
Cable breaking is not fatal
Optimal network size: Very small - Medium
Davide Palma 11
BusAll data use the main line (the “bus”)
Slow if the bus is busy
Device breaking is not fatal
Cheap
Easy to set up!
Optimal network size: Small
Bus breaking is fatal
Davide Palma 12
RingData can flow in one direction only
Extremely cheap!Fast
Optimal network size: Very small
Any type of damage will be fatalTo add or remove a device, the network must be stopped
Davide Palma 13
MeshThe mesh can be partial or total
Way too expensive
Device redundancy
Lightning fast!!
Cable redundancy
Optimal network size: Any
Very hard to set up!
Davide Palma 14
Wireless technologies• They are a radio communication method• Cables are not needed, so it`s cheaper• They usually carry IP packets (Internet)• They have technologies to fight radio interference• They are usually slower than a wired connection• The radio frequency allocation is moderated by Governments

• Targets Local and Metropolitan Area Networks• Operative range: up to 20m indoors [1]
• Transfers IP packets, making it a way to build networks
• Max theoretical downlink speed: 433Mbps (802.11ac) [1]
Davide Palma 16
Bluetooth• Targets Personal Devices and equipment• Operative range: up to 10m indoors• Can be used for a lot of things:

LTE (Long Term Evolution, also known as 4G)• Targets a wide area network with tens of thousand of users• Operative range: Miles• Can be used for Voice or for TCP/IP packets (Internet)• It uses a lot of radio frequencies [1]

Servers and workstations• They both are special-purpose computers• Share the same CPU architecture (x86_64)
Servers
High availabilityHigh efficiencyHigh durability
Workstation
Just a more powerful computer, used for special applications like 3d modeling,
rendering, autocad...
Davide Palma 19
Routers, switches and hubsThey all transfer data… But the difference is intelligence.
The router is essentially a computer which understands, manage and routes data
The switch transfers data from one computer to another.
The hub transfers data to one computer to every computer connected; the computers have to decide if they are the destination

Network cardThe network card is an expansion card. There are many types of that.

Portability Efficiency
If the software and the hardware are designed together, they will work better, but they won`t work at all with other hardware/Software.
If the software and the hardware are designed to be universal, they will work with everything, but performances will not be very high.
