NETWORK TOPOLOGY


TOPOLOGY
A topology represents graphical arrangement of computers or devices. It is geometric representation of the relationship of all the links and linking devices (usually called nodes) to one another.
There are basic topologies possible:
1.        Linear Topology
2.        BUS Topology
3.        Ring Topology
4.        Star Topology
5.        Tree Topology
6.        Mesh Topology
Linear Topology: In Linear topology, nodes are connected serially with each other except the last node at both ends. In this topology, the entire network fails in case any node within the network breaks down or is disconnected.

BUS Topology: In bus topology, each node in the network is connected to the single common communication wire and this single communication line is referred as a ‘BUS’. Bus network is the simplest way to connect multiple clients.

Star Topology: In star topology, computers or its devices are not directly linked to each other but they are connected via centralized network component called as ‘HUB’.

The hub acts as a central controller and if a node wants to send data to another node, it can send the same through the hub only. In this the whole network does not fail, even if any of the node is not working.

Ring Topology: In ring topology, computers are placed in a circle of cable without any terminating end since there is no disconnected end. Every node has two neighbors for communication.
        All data travel through the ring (clockwise or anti-clockwise) until they reach their destination in such topology, sometimes the rate of data transfer is more.

Tree Topology: A tree topology combines the characteristics of linear, bus and star topology. It consists of group of networks connected to a bus cable. This topology allows for easy expansion of an existing network.

Mesh Topology: In a mesh topology, every node has dedicated point to point link to every other node. Message sent on a mesh topology can take any of the possible path from source to destination. Though the structure of this connectivity looks quits jumbled up, but it enables a faster flow of data its comparison if other topologies.

ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS ON BINARY NUMBER

Binary arithmetic is simpler to learn because binary number system deals with only two digits - 0 and 1. Binary number perform all arithmetic operation such as Addition, Substraction, Multiplication and compliment as in decimal number system. Binary Addition The addition table for binary arithmetic consist of only the following four entries: 0+0=0 0+1=1 1+0=1 1+1=0 , plus a carry of 1 to the next column.     1011        + 1100    10111     1100    + 1100     11000 Binary Substraction There are three ways to do substraction between binary numbers:- 1. Simple Substraction 2. Substraction using 1's Complement 3. Substraction using 2's Complement Simple Substraction: The complete table of binary substraction is as follows: 0-0=0 0-1=1, borrow 1 from next column 1-0=1 1-1=0    1101 - 0101   1000     1001   - 0111    0...

Media Of Communication Part 2

Unguided Media Unguided media transport electromagnetic wave without using a physical connection. This type of communication referred as wireless communication. We can divided wireless transmission in :-   1. Radio Wave:- Electromagnetic   waves ranging in frequencies between 3KHz and 1GHz are normally called radio wave.   On radio wave connectivity used communication used Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc.     Bluetooth :- It is a wireless network connectivity that enables to connect or transfer data between devices over a short range the physical range of connection up to 100 meter. Ex- Mobile phone, barcode scanning, portable speaker, wireless keyboard, mouse etc.      Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity):- Wi-Fi is a network of wireless connection. Wi-Fi network establish by radio frequency like Bluetooth, but has more power, resulting a strong connection.    ·   Wi-Fi is also called wireless Ethernet. It has connectivity range up...

Application OF Computer

Communication : - In the past, people used to communication through letters, telephones etc. The advent of computers has made it possible to share or exchange information in real time (instant). Information can be textual, graphics or visual from any corner of the world in different ways. Like – Email, Online chatting, Video conferencing, FTP (File Transfer Protocol), Telnet, Social Networking. News & Broadcasting : The delivery and reception of news has changed dramatically with the advent of computers. Earlier, Journalists used snail mail, reel-to-reel recorders, dark-room processing for photos and typewriters for composing contents. But now computers have facilitated in Instant Broadcast, Online Newspapers, Online News Channels, etc. Social Networking: Before the advent of computer, people used to interact with friends and relatives in closed groups and meet them during family functions, religious ceremonies and gatherings at local temples, gurudwaras, mosques or church...
