Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 7, Problem 1RQ
Explanation of Solution
Features of simple network:
- The client computers, server computer, network
operating system software, network interfaces, hub, and a connection medium are the entities of a simple network. - The basic responsible for network operating system software is controlling the network and its functions.
- One client computer is connected to another client computer within the same network.
- Hubs and switches function is sending packets of data to all other linked devices.
- The network helping up web pages to storing data and network operating system.
- The switch has the capability to select a particular destination while the hub sends a packet to all other linked devices.
- The network components links with the connection mediums such as coaxial cables, radio signals or telephone wires.
- The Microsoft Window Server, Linux and Novell Open Enterprise Server are the most commonly used network operating system software...
Explanation of Solution
Principal technologies and trends:
- Client/ Server computing
- Packet switching
- TCP/ IP and Connectivity
Client/ Server computing:
- Client/ Server computing is defined as a distributed computing model where a part of the processing power is placed within cheap client computers and exist in laptops, handled devices or desktops.
- It also allows for computing to departments, factory floors, workgroups and other parts of a business that couldn’t be worked by a centralized architecture.
- The clients are linked to other clients through networks that is controlled by a network server computer.
- It has replaced by centralized mainframe computer.
- The process of the client/ server computing has no longer take place on a central large mainframe computer.
Packet Switching:
- Messages transferring in the internet are divide into fixed size unit of data called packet.
- Messages are divided into packets to increase the performance and reliability of the internet.
- Ιt also improves the effectiveness of the communication line in the internet.
- Packets travel through several routers before it reaches the destination.
- Router is a device that provides a path for the packet to reach the destination...
