    Worksheet – Class VII

    Network and Communication


    Fill in the blanks

    1. A __________ is a connection of devices.


    Ans. Network
    2. _________ Server manages files on the network.
    Ans. File
    3. NIC stand for ______________________________.
    Ans. Network Interface Card
    4. ______________ is a network of personal devices.
    Ans. PAN
    5. An example of Wide Area Network is ___________.
    Ans. Internet

    Short Marker Questions 2

    1. Define Intranet and Internet.

    Ans. Intranet - An intranet is a private enterprise network, designed to support


    an organization’s employees to communicate, collaborate and perform their
    roles.

    Internet - is the global system of interconnected computer networks. It is


    a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and
    government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of
    electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies.

    2. State any two advantages of network.

    Ans.

    2. It enhances communication and availability of information.


    Networking, especially with full access to the web, allows ways of
    communication that would simply be impossible before it was developed. Instant
    messaging can now allow users to talk in real time and send files to other people
    wherever they are in the world, which is a huge boon for businesses.
    2. It allows for more convenient resource sharing.
    Ans. This benefit is very important, particularly for larger companies that really
    need to produce huge numbers of resources to be shared to all the people.

    3. Explain NIC in detail.

    Ans. A network interface card (NIC) is a hardware component without which a


    computer cannot be connected over a network. It is a circuit board installed in a
    computer that provides a dedicated network connection to the computer. It is
    also called network interface controller, network adapter or LAN adapter.

    4. What do you mean by communication channel? Name its types.

    Ans. Communication channels are the facilities used to interconnect computers in


    a network, such as twisted-pair wire, coaxial cable, and optical fiber cable.
    Transmission media are sometimes called transmission medium channels, links or
    lines.

    Wired Media- Coaxial Cable, UTP Cable, Fibre Optics Cable


    Wireless Media- Infrared, Radio Frequency, Bluetooth etc.

    5. Differentiate between LAN and MAN.

    Ans. LAN - A LAN (local area network) is a group of computers and network
    devices connected together, usually within the same building. By definition, the
    connections must be high speed and relatively inexpensive (e.g., token
    ring or Ethernet). Most Indiana University Bloomington departments are on
    LANs.

    MAN - A MAN (metropolitan area network) is a larger network that usually


    spans several buildings in the same city or town. The IUB network is an example
    of a MAN.

    6. What are the advantages of peer-to-peer architecture?

    Ans. Advantages are -

     Easy file sharing: An advanced P2P network can share files quickly over
    large distances.
     Reduced costs: There is no need to invest in a separate computer for a server
    when setting up a P2P network.
     Adaptability: P2P network extends to include new clients easily. This benefit
    makes these networks more flexible than client-server networks.
     Reliability: Unlike a client-server network, which can fail if the central server
    malfunctions, a P2P network will likely remain functional even if the central
    server crashes.
     High performance: While a client-server network performs less effectively
    when more clients join the network, a P2P network can improve its
    performance when more clients join it. This is due to the fact that each client
    in a P2P network is also a server that contributes resources to the network.
     Efficiency: Emerging P2P networks enable collaboration between devices that
    have different resources that can benefit the whole network.

    7. Name and define any two components of a network.

    Ans.

    Servers - Servers are computers that hold shared files, programs, and the network
    operating system. Servers provide access to network resources to all the users of
    the network. There are many different kinds of servers, and one server can
    provide several functions. For example, there are file servers, print servers, mail
    servers, communication servers, database servers, fax servers and web servers, to
    name a few. Sometimes it is also called host computer, servers are powerful
    computer that store data or application and connect to resources that are shared
    by the user of a network.

    Clients - Clients are computers that access and use the network and shared
    network resources. Client computers are basically the customers(users) of the
    network, as they request and receive services from the servers. These days, it is
    typical for a client to be a personal computer that the users also use for their own
    non-network applications.

    Transmission Media - Transmission media are the facilities used to interconnect


    computers in a network, such as twisted-pair wire, coaxial cable, and optical fiber
    cable. Transmission media are sometimes called transmission medium channels,
    links or lines.

    8. Differentiate between Hub and Switch.

    Ans. HUB - A hub is sent out a message from one port to other ports. For
    example, if there are three computers of A, B, C, the message sent by a hub for
    computer A will also come to the other computers. But only computer A will
    respond and the response will also go out to every other port on the hub.
    Therefore, all the computers can receive the message and computers themselves
    need to decide whether to accept the message.

    SWITCH - A switch is able to handle the data and knows the specific addresses to
    send the message. It can decide which computer is the message intended for and
    send the message directly to the right computer. The efficiency of switch has been
    greatly improved, thus providing a faster network speed.
