▶ Introduction to Data Communication Networking

        

        * Data Communications

        * Components of Data Communication

          * Data Representation

* Basic Concepts -

                                       (i)     Servers,

                                       (ii)    Client, 

                                       (iii)   Workstation, Hosts

  * Types of Computer Network : LAN, MAN & WAN

* Types Network Architecture -

                                        (i)     Peer-to-peer,

                                        (ii)    Client-Server,

                                        (iii)   Distributed

* Transmission Types : Simplex, Half duplex and Full duplex
