Networks Lab

About

  • This lab is used to provide students with a theoretical and practical base in computer networks issues.
  • Understand the structure and organization of computer networks; including the division into network layers, role of each layer, and relationships between the layers.
  • Identify and use various networking components Understand different transmission media and design cables for establishing a network.
  • Implement any topology using network devices
  • Understand the basic concepts of error-detection and correction techniques, multiple access protocols, point to pint protocols, and characteristics of link layer media (including wireless links).

Facilities

Network components are the physical and software elements that facilitate device communication and resource sharing. These components work together through hardware devices and protocols to ensure efficient data transfer

Component

Peer

Devices acting as both clients and servers in P2P networks.

Transmission Media

Pathways for data transfer, including physical and wireless media.

Connecting Devices

Devices like routers, switches, hubs, and gateways that connect other network components.
