Specific Objective 4 Distinguish among networked, client-server, and distributed;
=>Networking: Network management (user accounts, access logs) Networking Protocols (TCP/IP)
=>Network Architecture: Ethernet, FDDI.
=>Network topology: Star, Ring, Bus, Hybrid
=>Network devices: Modems, switches, routers, bridges, network interface cards (NIC), hubs.
=>Transmission media: wired (twisted pair, fibre-optics, coaxial); wireless (satellite, microwave) IEEE1394 (Firewire) and cable connectors using diagrams.
=>Protocol: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Hypertext Transfer Protocol(HTTP); Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure Sockets Layer(HTTPS); IEEE802.11a/b; IEEE802.16g; characteristics of Voice Over Internet Protocol; Open System Interconnection (OSI) model.
=>Access Methods for mobile networks: CDMA, TDMA, GSM, GPRS
=>Network consideration: cost, security, management, expandability, interconnectivity, wired vs wireless.
=>Network Configuration: Types: Multi-user; client server, centralized vs. distributed system, peer to peer.
=>Network Security: Firewalls
Specific Objective 5: Design Simple Networks.
=>Use diagrams to design networks.
My question to you is, what do you know about Networks? Give a paragraph summary of what you know.
