Network ArchitectureNetwork Architecture
Network Architecture Is a design of a network It is classified according to how it being controlled
and distance between nodes• Network can be controlled (administered) in 2 main
ways :- Locally administered
• Peer-to-peer (P2P) Centrally administered
• Client/server

Network Architecture :Network Architecture :Peer-to-Peer NetworksPeer-to-Peer Networks
• Nodes communicate with each other– nodes in this type are Peers(equals)
• Share peripheral devices• Common in home networks

Network Architecture : Network Architecture : Client/Server NetworksClient/Server Networks
• Networks with 10 or more nodes• Client computers
– Users who make requests • Server computers
– Provide resources to clients– Central network control
• Internet– A large, multiserver, multiclient network
11
Network Architecture Classification : Network Architecture Classification : Distance between NodesDistance between Nodes
Another way to classify network is thru the distance between nodes. Local Area Network (LAN) Home Area Network (HAN) Wide Area Network (WAN) Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

HANs and LANsHANs and LANs
• Home area network (HAN)– Connects digital devices within a home
• Local area network (LAN)– Nodes are within a small geographic region
• Computer lab at Schools• Small businesses

13
WANs and MANsWANs and MANs
• Wide area network (WAN)– Made up of LANs connected over long distances
• A few miles to thousands of miles• Uses telecommunications lines
• Metropolitan area network (MAN)– Provides access within a specific geographic
region, such as a city

Types of Peer-to-Peer NetworksTypes of Peer-to-Peer Networks
• Three main types P2P:1.Wired Ethernet networks2.Wireless Ethernet networks3.Power-line networks• The difference : is the transmission media by
which the nodes are connected and the bandwidth each achieves.

P2P Network :P2P Network :Wired Ethernet NetworksWired Ethernet Networks
• A commonly used technology in LAN architecture– Consists a series of standard specification for
LAN architecture : 802.3 (“Ethernet”) ; developed by IEEE
• Ethernet networks use the Ethernet protocol as the way the nodes on the network communicate.

• Data is transmitted through the wires of an Ethernet network in packets.
Ethernet SwitchesEthernet Switches• Keep track of data packets• Amplify and retransmit signals• Keep the network running efficiently

Ethernet RoutersEthernet Routers
• Transfer packets from one network to another
• Home Internet routers transfer data from the Internet to the home network
• Allows for network-ready devices such as network printers or networkattached storage (NAS)

Wireless Ethernet NetworksWireless Ethernet Networks
• Ethernet networks that use radio waves instead of wires to connect nodes
• Based on the IEEE 802.11 standard, also known as Wi-Fi
• Each node requires a wireless network adapter Contains transceivers
• A device that translates electronic data into radio wave

Wireless Access Point (WAP)Wireless Access Point (WAP)
• Device added to a wireless network to extend the range of the wireless network
• Must connect to either a switch, a router, or a node on the network

Power-Line NetworksPower-Line Networks
• Computers are connected to a house’s electrical wiring to create a network
• A power-line network adapter connects nodes to electrical outlets

Choosing a Peer-to-Peer NetworkChoosing a Peer-to-Peer Network• Things to consider
- Whether existing wiring is available- Whether you want wireless communications- How fast you want your network connection to be- How much money you can spend on your network

Configuring Software Configuring Software for Your Home Networkfor Your Home Network
• Windows Vista and later versions– Use wizards launched from Network and
Sharing Center in Control Panel• Before running wizards:
1.Install network adapters on each node.2.For a wired network, plug all the cables into the
router, network adapters, and so on.

Networking Multiple Versions Networking Multiple Versions of Windowsof Windows
• Set up Windows 7 and Vista machines first– Automatically detect other computers running
Windows on network– Windows XP will need adjustment to see other
versions of Windows• Give each Windows computer a unique
name• Place all computers in the same

Why we need to have EXTRA Why we need to have EXTRA caution in using wireless network?caution in using wireless network?
• Wireless network range doesn’t stop at the property line – may extend outside of your house
• Default device and network ID settings allow intruders to enter the network
• Internet bandwidth can be stolen• Piggybacking is connecting to a wireless network (that is Piggybacking is connecting to a wireless network (that is
not your own) without the permission of the owner.not your own) without the permission of the owner.• Computers can be vulnerable to hacker intrusion and
takeover

Securing Wireless NetworksSecuring Wireless Networks• To secure a wireless network, do the following:
– Change your network name (SSID)– Disable SSID broadcast– Change the default password on your router
• Use at least 8 characters ; combination of letters, symbols and numbers
– Turn on security protocols• Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) : stronger
– Implement media access control (MAC)– Limit your signal range– Apply firmware (software on router) upgrades
