• A network is an interconnected or interrelated chain, group, or system
Network ConceptsNetwork Concepts
• The number of possible connections on a network is N(N–1) or N2 –N
• N = number of nodes (points of connection)
• Example: 10 computers on a network = 10(10–1) =10x9 = 90 possible connections

• Metcalfe’s Law
Network ConceptsNetwork Concepts
• The usefulness, or utility, of a network equals the square of the number of users
• The more users on a network, the more useful it becomes
• Until critical mass is reached, a change in technology only affects the technology
• Once critical mass is attained, social, political, and economic systems change
• Example: The Internet is growing exponentially. We can expect more value, for less cost, virtually every time we log on.

• Middleware
Network ConceptsNetwork Concepts
• A general term for any programming that mediates between two separate programs
• Allows a particular database to access other databases without custom programming
• Commonly known as the “plumbing” of an information system
• routes data and information between back-end data sources and end user applications
• An essential component of any IT infrastructure

• Network Computing: Thin clients provide a browser-based user interface for processing small application programs
A thin client, sometimes also called a lean client, is a computer (client) in client-server architecture networks which depends primarily on the central server for processing activities.

Slide 12
What Types of Telecommunications are What Types of Telecommunications are there??there??
• Peer-to-Peer: file-sharing software connects each PC to a central server or to another online user’s PC
A pure peer-to-peer network does not have the notion of clients or servers, but only equal peer nodes that simultaneously function as both "clients" and "servers" to the other nodes on the network.
Some networks and channels use a client-server structure for some tasks (e.g. searching) and a peer-to-peer structure for others.
