©Brooks/Cole, 2003 Chapter 6 Computer Networks
©Brooks/Cole, 2003 Understand the rationale for the existence of networks. Distinguish between the three types of networks: LANs, MANs, and WANs. After reading this chapter, the reader should be able to: O BJECTIVES List different connecting devices and the OSI layers in which each device operates. Understand client-server models. Understand the OSI model and TCP/IP.

©Brooks/Cole, 2003 The Open Systems Interconnection model is a theoretical model that shows how any two different systems can communicate with each other. Note:
