One way of understanding huge and complex technology such as networking is to be familiar with its components. Realize that you must know how they are related to come up with a network of connected computers. When there are a multiple computers connections, there is a server. The server act as the organizer of the activities going on in a network, it provides the services that fit to the clients. Examples of the services are File Server, Web Server, Database Sever, etc. Clients on the other hand are the computers connected to the server; could also be referred to as the users who avail the services provided by the server. Consider how are the computers connected, there is the use of networks devices like hubs, switches and routers, cables or the connected mediums, there is also operating system software and NIC (Network Interface Card). NIC are adapters, it provides two-way communication between computers and the network devices; these are installed on computers. There are several types of medium and there are these primary types, one is the UTP, which is the popular among the mediums, there is coaxial wire and fiber optics which is the most expensive. In selecting medium in planning to build a network in an office or Ethernet for different purposes, consider future updates and since technology nowadays innovates constantly. For fast transmission of data from workstation to workstation, a router can provide more bandwidth and can send signals specific to the intended receiver is helpful. Unlike the hubs and switches, routers are more superior. It uses a complete packet address in determining the exact workstation it intends to send, and it ensures that it moves across the most efficient path. It’s not that hard to build your own Ethernet, it’s a matter of dedication in reading and learning, information is everywhere, you just have to grab them.
