    A computer network connects devices like computers and printers through communication channels so that data can be shared. A network is defined as a set of connected nodes that can send and receive data. The criteria that a computer network must meet are performance, reliability, and security. Performance is measured by transit time, response time, and the efficiency of connected hardware. Reliability depends on how frequently the network fails. Security protects data from unauthorized access as it travels through different layers of the network.

    What is Computer Networks?

    Computer Networks
    Modern world scenario is ever changing. Data
    Communication and network have changed
    the way business and other daily affair works.
    Now, they highly rely on computer networks
    and internetwork.
    Computer Networks
    A set of devices often mentioned as nodes
    connected by media link is called a
    Network.
    Computer Networks
    A node can be a device which is capable of sending
    or receiving data generated by other nodes on the
    network like a computer, printer etc. These links
    connecting the devices are called Communication
    channels.
    Computer Networks
    Computer network is a telecommunication channel
    using which we can share data with other computers
    or devices, connected to the same network. It is also
    called Data Network.
    The best example of computer network is Internet.
    In a network there must be a criteria,
    what do you think are those?

    Give at least three.


    A network must be able to meet certain
    criteria’s, these are mentioned below:
    Performance
    Reliability
    Security
    Computer Networks: Performance
    It can be measured in the following ways:

    Transit time : It is the time taken to travel a


    message from one device to another.

    Response time : It is defined as the time elapsed


    between enquiry and response.
    Computer Networks: Performance
    Other ways to measure performance are :

    Efficiency of software
    Number of users
    Capability of connected hardware
    Computer Networks: Reliability
    It decides the frequency at which network
    failure take place. More the failures are, less is
    the network's reliability.
    Computer Networks: Security
    It refers to the protection of data from any
    unauthorized user or access. While travelling
    through network, data passes many layers of
    network, and data can be traced if attempted.
    Hence security is also a very important
    characteristic for Networks.
