Full transcript

1. 0:00have you ever asked yourself how
2. 0:01computerss actually communicate well in
3. 0:04this video you're going to find out
4. 0:06we'll explore the basics of computer
5. 0:08networks how they work and how they
6. 0:10enable all the digital interactions we
7. 0:12rely on every day from the key Concepts
8. 0:15and different types of networks to the
9. 0:17essential devices that keep them running
10. 0:19by the end of this video you'll have a
11. 0:21solid understanding of how computers
12. 0:23talk to each
13. 0:24other first let's get familiar with some
14. 0:26basic terms a network is a collection of
15. 0:29connected devic devices designed to
16. 0:31exchange data these devices called nodes
17. 0:34include computers servers routers and
18. 0:37switches to make sure this data exchange
19. 0:40happens smoothly we use protocols sets
20. 0:43of rules and standards for example the
21. 0:45HTP protocol allows your browser to
22. 0:48request and receive data when you visit
23. 0:50a
24. 0:51website every device in a network has a
25. 0:53unique identifier called an IP address
26. 0:56this helps in routing the data to the
27. 0:58right place there's also a Mac address a
28. 1:00hardware specific identifier that is
29. 1:02unique to each device unlike IP
30. 1:04addresses which can be reused IP
31. 1:07addresses can be local for internal
32. 1:09networks or public for global internet
33. 1:12communication next we have ports which
34. 1:15help direct the data to the correct
35. 1:16application within a device and finally
36. 1:19the DNS system translates humanfriendly
37. 1:21domain names like google.com into
38. 1:24machine readable IP addresses computer
39. 1:27networks come in various forms depending
40. 1:29depending on their scale and purpose a
41. 1:32lan or local area network connects
42. 1:34devices in a small area like your home
43. 1:36or office when you connect wirelessly
44. 1:39you're using a w Lan or wireless LAN on
45. 1:43a larger scale we have wands wide area
46. 1:46networks that link devices across cities
47. 1:48countries or even continents Cloud
48. 1:51networks allow companies to use Virtual
49. 1:53components instead of maintaining their
50. 1:55own Hardware this reduces cost and
51. 1:57maintenance efforts while providing
52. 1:59flexible data storage and processing
53. 2:02networks can also be open or closed an
54. 2:04open system is connected and ready for
55. 2:07communication while a closed system is
56. 2:09isolated and
57. 2:12non-communicative now let's talk about
58. 2:14Network architecture the structure of
59. 2:16how devices are organized and
60. 2:18interact in a client server architecture
61. 2:21one or more servers manage the data and
62. 2:23requests from clients for example when
63. 2:26you send an email or browse the web
64. 2:28you're interacting with a server
65. 2:31on the other hand in a peer-to-peer
66. 2:32Network all devices or peers can act as
67. 2:36both clients and servers this
68. 2:38decentralized approach is commonly used
69. 2:40in blockchain
70. 2:42technology Network topology defines the
71. 2:45layout of a network how devices are
72. 2:47connected a mesh topology connects each
73. 2:50device to every other device in the
74. 2:52network ensuring fast communication but
75. 2:55requiring complex setup it's often used
76. 2:57in military Communications
77. 3:00in a star topology all devices are
78. 3:02connected to a central Hub which manages
79. 3:05the data transmission this setup is
80. 3:07common in home
81. 3:09networks finally a bus topology links
82. 3:12all devices to a single communication
83. 3:14line it's simple and efficient for small
84. 3:16networks but not ideal for larger
85. 3:19ones let's imagine you're searching for
86. 3:21something online using your smartphone
87. 3:23or laptop the first thing that happens
88. 3:25is your device connects wirelessly to a
89. 3:27wireless access point this swap acts as
90. 3:30a bridge linking your wireless device to
91. 3:33your home network once the wayp receives
92. 3:35your search request it passes it along
93. 3:37to a switch the switch's job is to
94. 3:40direct this data to the appropriate
95. 3:42device within your network but since
96. 3:44your search request needs to reach the
97. 3:45internet the switch forwards it to the
98. 3:47rotor the router now takes over
99. 3:50determining the best path for your data
100. 3:52to travel to reach the internet it sends
101. 3:54your request out into the vast network
102. 3:56of networks we call the internet
103. 3:58directing it to the appr web server that
104. 4:01hosts the website you're trying to
105. 4:02access along the way your data might
106. 4:05pass through a repeater especially if
107. 4:07the distance is great or the signal is
108. 4:09weak the repeater boosts the signal
109. 4:11ensuring that your data reaches its
110. 4:13destination intact the web server
111. 4:16receives your request processes it and
112. 4:18then sends the requested information
113. 4:20like a web page back through the
114. 4:22internet following the reverse path the
115. 4:25data is received by your router then
116. 4:27passed to the switch which directs it
117. 4:29back to the WAP finally the WAP
118. 4:32transmits the data wirelessly to your
119. 4:34device where the web page is displayed
120. 4:36in your browser in this entire process
121. 4:38the data packet travels through a
122. 4:40sequence of devices each performing a
123. 4:42specific role to ensure your search
124. 4:44request is processed efficiently and
125. 4:47accurately if you found this video
