NETWORKING

P R O J E C T B Y: P R A N A V G E H L O T
INTRODUCTION

• NETWORKING IS THE PROCESS OF


CONNECTING TWO OR MORE
C O M P U T E R S T O S H A R E D ATA A N D
RESOURCES.

• IT CAN BE WIRED OR WIRELESS.


WHY IS NETWORKING
IMPORTANT?

 Enables data and resource sharing

 Improves communication

 Provides Internet access


TYPES OF NETWORKS

• LAN (Local Area Network)

• WAN (Wide Area Network)

• MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)


LOCAL AREA NETWORK
(L AN)

 A small network confined to a limited area

 Used in homes, schools, and offices


WIDE AREA NETWORK
(WAN)

• Covers large geographical areas such as cities

or countries.

• The Internet is the largest example of a WAN


METROPOLITAN AREA
NETWORK (MAN)

 Larger than a LAN but smaller than a WAN

 Covers an entire city or a large campus


NETWORK TOPOLOGIES
• Bus Topology: All devices are connected to a
single central cable

• Star Topology: Devices are connected to a


central hub or switch

• Ring Topology: Devices are connected in a


closed-loop

• Mesh Topology: Every device is connected to


every other device
NETWORK DEVICES

 Router: Connects different networks

 Switch: Connects multiple devices in a LAN

 Modem: Converts digital data into signals for transmission

 Hub: Broadcasts data to all connected devices


NETWORK PROTOCOLS

• TCP/IP: Core protocol for the Internet

• HTTP/HTTPS: Used for web browsing

• FTP: Used for file transfers

• SMTP/POP3/IMAP: Used for email

communication
IP ADDRESSING

 IPv4: 32-bit addressing system (e.g., 192.168.1.1)

 IPv6: 128-bit addressing system (e.g., 2001:db8::ff00:42:8329)


DNS (DOMAIN NAME
SYSTEM)

• Translates domain names into IP addresses

• Example: google.com → 142.250.190.78


NETWORK SECURITY

 Protects networks from cyber threats

 Includes encryption, firewalls, and antivirus software


FIREWALLS

• Monitors and controls incoming and outgoing

network traffic

• Can be hardware-based or software-based


CYBER THREATS

 Malware: Harmful software that damages systems

 Phishing: Fraudulent attempts to obtain sensitive information

 Hacking: Unauthorized access to a network


WIRELESS NETWORKING

• Wi-Fi: Wireless LAN connection

• Bluetooth: Short-range wireless

communication
CLOUD NETWORKING

 Internet-based computing and storage

 Examples: Google Drive, AWS, Microsoft Azure


VIRTUAL PRIVATE
NETWORK (VPN)

• Provides secure and encrypted connections

over public networks

• Used for privacy and bypassing restrictions


INTERNET OF THINGS
(IOT)

 Devices connected to the Internet for automation and data


exchange

 Examples: Smart home devices, smartwatches


FUTURE OF NETWORKING

• 5G Technology: Faster and more reliable

wireless connections

• Artificial Intelligence in Networking:

Automated network management

• Quantum Networking: Highly secure

communication
CONCLUSION

 Networking is essential for modern communication and


business

 Understanding networking basics helps in troubleshooting and


securing networks
