Abstract

The networks have evolved significantly since the first network architecture has been proposed. Lately, the architecture is seen more as a framework which specifies not only the network topology, network type, network components, and their functionality, but also presents data communication protocols, data formats used, and supported services. This chapter introduces network topologies, network types, and network components, and discusses several network communication technologies.
