Discovering Computer Networks Today

In many countries of the world, companies and educational institutions occupy the majority of society. In these places, you need a way to share and communicate information in business and school. You also need to be able to share business plans and other information with external organizations. The computer was originally intended for personal use only. Due to the importance of sharing data, manufacturers are forced to create technology to connect computers. This is the beginning of the computer network.
The Internet has not been found as a prior goal, but to solve the problem of allowing scientists to communicate on a single network in the late 1960's. With this, ARPANET (Advanced Research Institutions Network) funded by the US Department of Defense and the Internet of all smart products were born. Likewise, the Global Positioning System (GPS) was not found to use Google Maps on the iPhone, but rather to solve certain US problems in competition with the Soviet spacecraft at the peak of the Cold War It could be used for military and intelligence purposes. Sputnik In short, both the Internet and GPS are ripple effects from the task.
Historically, computer networks can be categorized into topologies, technologies for connecting computers. The most common topology today is a collapsible ring. This is due to the success of the network protocol called Ethernet. The protocol or network language supports the Internet, LAN, and WAN. The star topology is a network design where the central node extends the cable to each computer on the network. In a star type network, computers are independently connected to a network center. If the cable is disconnected, other computers will operate normally. Star topology requires a lot of wiring
The network topology is the layout of the interconnected nodes of the computer network or the organization hierarchy. Different network topologies may affect throughput, but reliability is more important. In many technologies such as bus networks, a single failure can cause the network to fail completely. In general, the more interconnections, the more robust the network and the more expensive to install. The physical layout of the nodes in the network may not necessarily reflect the network topology. For example, in FDDI, the network topology is a ring (actually two reverse rotation rings), but since all adjacent connections can be routed through a central physical location, the physical topology is usually a star.
