SOUTH BRIDGE AND NORTH
BRIDGE (MOTHERBOARD
• The Northbridge connects directly to the processor via the front
side bus (FSB). A memory controller is located on the
Northbridge, which gives the CPU fast access to the memory. The

The southbridge is slower than the northbridge, and information
from the CPU has to go through the northbridge before
reaching the southbridge. Other busses connect the southbridge
to the PCI bus, the USB ports and the IDE or SATA hard disk
connections.

Types of NetworksTom Hanstead

There are several types of computer networks: - Local area networks (LANs) connect devices within a home or office through inexpensive equipment like Ethernet cables and routers. They have transmission speeds up to 1000mbps. - Personal area networks (PANs) connect devices a single person uses through Bluetooth or infrared with speeds around 700kbps. - Wide area networks (WANs) connect thousands of networks globally through telecommunication lines with speeds from 1.2kbps to 30mbps. They have higher costs than LANs. - The Internet uses various transmission media like satellite, fiber optics, and radio waves with connection speeds varying by provider from 10mbps to 100mbps.

Network topologiesTom Hanstead

Star, bus, ring, mesh, and tree are common network topologies. In a star topology, all devices connect to a central hub or switch. If the hub fails, the entire network fails. A bus topology uses a single cable to connect all devices in a line, allowing messages to travel in both directions until reaching the destination. A ring topology forms a continuous loop, with each device acting as a repeater to strengthen the signal as it passes to the next device. A mesh topology connects each device to every other device, providing redundancy so failure of one connection does not disconnect a device. A tree topology combines aspects of the bus and star topologies, allowing branching of servers to multiple sub-networks.

Network protocols and standards posterTom Hanstead

TCP/IP defined the first two networking protocols, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP). The IEEE 802.2 standard provides a general interface between different protocols like TCP/IP and different network types such as Ethernet or Token Ring. The token ring IEEE 802.5 LAN protocol connects all stations in a ring where each station can directly hear transmissions from its immediate neighbor and needs permission to transmit granted by a circulating token.

Application layer protocolTom Hanstead

Wireless technologies posterTom Hanstead

802.11 is a set of wireless networking standards for local area networks using radio technologies operating in the 2.4, 3.6 and 5GHz bands. 3G refers to third generation mobile networks that provide wide-area wireless access for voice calls, mobile internet, and video calls using mobile phones. Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances between devices like sending photos between phones. Infrared uses short-range wireless signals to allow computing devices to communicate and transfer files or data between devices.
