Computer networks notes

Computer networks is an important subject for gate cse exam.Computer networks notes or gate cse syllabus for computer networks subject is presented in this post. These computer networks notes are explained in form of different article. Link of computer networks tutorial for different topic is given here.I hope these computer networks tutorial will assist to cover gate cse syllabus for computer networks and preparation.

Data communications and networking

In data communications and networking we connecting different computers and communications devices to make a computer networks this had a large influence. On the way computer systems are organized. The concept of the ‘computer center’ as a server room with a large computer  and devices to which users bring their work for processing is now  become obsolete. 
 
The old model of a single computer serving all of the organization’s computational needs has been replaced by one in which a large no. of separated but interconnected computers do the job in data communications and networking. These system are called computer network.
Objectives behind the study of this data communications and networking subjects are
  • To develop an understanding of computer architecture and its performance.
  • To Introduce students about different types of network and network topology.
  • To Introduce about different networking protocols and their working.
  • To make aware students with emerging technologies and their impact.
Pre-Requisites:  Student should  have knowledge of Computer Fundamental, Hardware, Basic of  networking devices.
