Internet, Networking and HTML By Lorenc Cici and Peter McIlwee

Networking Hardware components of networks Different types of networks: –Personal Area Network –Local Area Network –Wide Area Network –Virtual Private Network

Types of Networks Personal Area Network –Networking containing computer devices around a personal computer, like scanners, printers etc. Local Area Network –Networking containing more than one computer in the same building, able to share information between them Wide Area Network –This network consists of a lot of computers connected by routers and public communication links. Example: The internet Virtual Private Network –Information carried by open connections in a larger network, like the internet. Enables user to access other desktops.

Hardware Components Repeaters -Receives signal and sends it back out at higher level to avoid degradation Bridges -Local Bridges -Connects LANs directly -Remote Bridges -Can create a WAN between LANs, older version of a router -Wireless Bridges -Connects remote stations to LANs

Hardware Continued Switches –Forwards and filters information between ports Routers –Create a WAN between LANs by sending information throughout a specific network

C-Program We plan on starting by using Yana’s algorithm of a linear search: –location = LinearSearch(array, SIZE, number); –if (location != -1 ) printf("The value %d appears in place %d \n", number, location ); –else printf("The value %d is not in the given array\n ", number);
