Network Information Systems
Abstract
This report contains a lot of information about Networking. It can also be used by
someone who has some knowledge about networking. This contains a lot of information about
the impact of network topology, communication, and bandwidth management. Also talks
about how protocols enable the effectiveness of networked systems. It is very important. This
report contains further information about networking approaches, the importance of network
management systems, and the independence of hardware, software, and networking. It also
contains information about network protocols and standards and different network monitoring
systems.

4. Computer networking
4.1. What is the Network?
A computer network is often located on network nodes. And this is a group of
computers that share the resources provided. Computers use common communication
protocols to communicate with each other. These interconnections consist of
telecommunication network technologies based on physically wired, optical, and
wireless radio frequency methods that can be arranged in various network
topologies.Nodes in a computer network include personal computers, servers,
networking hardware, or general-purpose hosts.Computer networking has made many
of today's tasks easier. People got the maximum results from this networking during
the world corona pandemic. During this time, even big companies easily did their
necessary work in the digital world. It provided facilities for the small child to the old
person.
As networking needs increased, so did the types of computer networks that served
those needs. Some types of such computer networks are mentioned below.
 PAN – This network Serves only one person.

 LAN - A LAN connects computers over a relatively short distance. This allows sharing of
data, files, and resources. For example, a LAN can connect all computers in a university.
 MAN - A MAN is usually larger than a LAN but smaller than a WAN.
 WAN - A WAN connects computers across a wide area, such as region to region or
continent to continent. The best example of this is the Internet.
4.2. What is Topology?
Organizations often use network topology to define how their network nodes
connect to each other. This is a physical arrangement. It is used by various endpoints
and links in an enterprise network to communicate with each other.There are several
types of network topology. They are as follows.
 Point-to-point topology - This is a simple topology that directly connects two nodes.
Here a cable or wire is used to physically connect point to point.
 Bus topology - The leading cable acts as a standard cable in a bus topology. Another
type of cable known as drop a line is used here. It helps connect stations to this main
cable. The main cable acts as the backbone of this topology.
