    This document contains tutorial questions about computer networks. It defines three categories of network components - devices, media, and services - and provides examples of each. It also contains questions that distinguish between physical and logical network topologies, intranets and extranets, and local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs). Additionally, it asks about network services, interfaces, and provides definitions and examples of these networking terms.

    Tutorial 1A: Introduction to Networks

    Q2(a) Distinguish between a physical topology and a logical topology (4marks)

    Physical topology is to identify the physical location of intermediary devices, configured ports and
    cable installation but logical topology is to identify devices, ports, and IP addressing scheme.

    Physical topology
    Arrangement of the nodes and the physical connections between them (eg. Star, bus, ring topology)

    Logical topology
    - The way a network transfer frames from one node to the next (eg. Token passing, CSMA/CD)
    - Identify devices, ports, and IP addressing scheme.

    (b) Distinguish between Intranet and Extranet (4marks)

    Intranet is a term often used to refer to a private connection of LANs and WANs that belongs to an
    organization and it is only accessible by the employees of the organization. Extranet is to provide
    secure and safe access to individuals who work for a different organization which is not same with
    intranet, extranet allow third party to access to it.

    Intranet
    - A private network that belongs to an organization.
    - It is only accessible by the organization’s members, employees, or other with authorization

    Extranet
    - An intranet that can be partially accessed by authorized outsiders, enabling business to exchange
    information over the internet securely.
    - Eg. Suppliers, vendors, partners, customers, or other businesses

    (c) Differentiate between Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN). (8 marks)
    LAN WAN
    interconnect and devices in a limited area provides access to other networks over a
    such as a home, office building, or campus wide geographical area such as between
    cities, states, provinces, countries, or
    continents

    LANs interconnect end devices in a limited area WANs interconnect LANs over wide
    such as a home, school, office building, or geographical areas such as between cities,
    campus. states, provinces, countries, or continents.

    provide high speed bandwidth to internal end provide slower speed links between LANs
    devices and intermediary devices

    - A LAN is usually administered by a - WAN owned and managed by a


    single organization or individual. telecommunications service provider.
    - The administrative control that governs - WANs are usually administrated by
    the security and access control policies multiple service providers.
    are enforced on the network level.

    - LANs provide high speed bandwidth to - Wans typically provide slower


    internal end devices and intermediary speed links between LANs.
    devices.

    (a) Explain “network services” in the context of computer network. (6 marks)


    When there is a request from the end-user, its response to the user by provides
    information that they request. It contains many of the common network applications
    that using a client-server or peer-to-peer architecture. It used for communication of
    other people, presentation, data storage and etc. Example of network services are web
    hosting service, game server hosting services and email hosting services

    - Network components that provide the functionally that directs and moves the
    message through the network.
    - Network applications that people use every day, Eg. email, world wide web, file
    sharing, instant messaging, online game
    - These services usually implemented using client-server or peer-to-peer architecture,
    based on certain protocols and run at the application layer

    (b) Describe the networking term “Interface” and give ONE (1) example. (3 marks)
    - Is the point of interconnection between a computer and a private or public network.
    - It usually have some form of network address. This may consist of a node identifier
    and a port number or may be a unique node ID in its own right.
    - Provide standardized functions such as passing messages connecting and
    disconnecting

    - Specialized ports on an internetworking device (example router) that connect to


    individual networks. Example serial interface, Ethernet
