AB ENGLISH 1-A
Meaning:
1.Data Network- A data network is an electronic communications process that allows for the
orderly transmission and reception of data, such as letters, spreadsheets, and other types
of documents. What sets this type of network apart from other forms of communication,
such as an audio network, is that it is configured to transmit data only. This is in contrast to
the audio or voice network, which is often employed for both voice communications and the
transmission of data, such as a facsimile transmission.
2.LAN- A Local Area Network is a computer that interconnects computers within a limited
area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building, using network media.
The defining characteristics of LANs, in contrast to wide area network (WANs), include their
smaller geographic area, and non-inclusion of leased telecommunication lines.
3.WAN- A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a network that covers a broad area using leased
telecommunication lines. Business and government entities utilize WANs to relay data
among employees, clients, buyers, and suppliers from various geographical locations. In
essence, this mode of telecommunication allows a business to effectively carry out its daily
function regardless of location. The internet can be considered a WAN as well, and is used
by businesses, governments, organizations, and individuals for any purpose imaginable
4.Function Of Protocols- Protocols are certain that must be follow according to the mode
and type communication. Based on this protocols we can classify our communication
needs. There are several protocols: TCP. UDP, HTTP, SMTP, ICMP, etc.
5.TCP/IP Protocol Suite- Is the basic communication language or protocol of the internet. It
can also be used as a communications protocol in a private network. When you are set up
with direct access to the internet, your computer is provided with a copy of the TCP/IP
program just as every other computer that you may send messages to or get information
from also has a copy of TCP/IP.
6.WWW- The World Wide Web is a system of interlinked hypertext documents that are
accessed via the internet. With a web browser, one can view web pages that may contain
text, images, videos, and other multimedia and navigate between them hyperlinks.
7.How Network Send Data- -Data usually exists as rather large files. However, networks
cannot operate if computers put large amounts of data on the cable at the same time. As
you see in Figure 3.5, a computer sending large amounts of data causes other computers to
wait (increasing the frustration of the other users) while the data is being moved. This is not
called "sharing"; it is called "monopolizing the network." There are two reasons why putting
large chunks of data on the cable at one time slows down the network:

Large amounts of data sent as one large unit tie up the network and make timely
interaction and communications impossible because one computer is flooding the cable with
data.

The impact of retransmitting large units of data further multiplies network traffic.

These effects are minimized when the large data units are reformatted into smaller
packages for better management of error correction in transmission. This way, only a small

section of data is affected, and, therefore, only a small amount of data must be
retransmitted, making it relatively easy to recover from the error.
In order for many users at once to transmit data quickly and easily across the network, the
data must be broken into small, manageable chunks. This way, users each get their share
of access to the network. These chunks are called packets, or frames. Although the terms
"packet" and "frame" are often used interchangeably, there are some differences based on
the type of network. This lesson uses the term "packet," meaning a unit of information
transmitted as a whole from one device to another on a network."
