What is Networking Architecture?
Computer networking
must sound very
familiar term as it is
now very much
adopted by everyone.
It started ages ago;
the original concept
was to connect two
separate computers with each other for communications.
This concept was commercially adopted by most of computer
users, Institutions, schools, IT departments within the decay
and networking of computers got very popular compulsion
on the broader scale computers networking is collection of
multiple computers, printers, scanners and other devices to
communicate and share information share files and software
etc.
This cannot be possible without the concept of networking;
networks have made lives easier for many people in their
professions. One can command the computer to print the
document out without even sitting on it. Computers are
everywhere now it is the must have machine in every field of
profession. If you have more than one computer at your

place having it networked is as important and useful as
having computer itself.
In this section of tutorials and articles we will teach you what
computer networks are, what are computer network types?
Which network type is best used for which approach,
hardware requirement, advantages, software requirement,
and computer network security? There are as many as eight
types with which computer networks can be formed.
Computer Network types Local Area Network (LAN) is
technical name for computer networks which is normally
developed among a single house and office etc. Immense
work is done on networking by networking device
manufacturers and it is still going on, every now and then
there is new and better solution to network multiple
computers.
LAN is been implemented and been replaced by WLAN
already, WLAN is wireless local area network which performs
same function as LAN does but wirelessly. LAN however is
still used and understanding it is very important before
moving to better and enhance solutions. Browse through the
navigation towards your left which will help you understand
the entire concept involving deployment of computer
networks and that should be able to help you build your very

own local area network.
Wide Area Network, (WAN) Wide area network is
communication among computers which are located far from
each other. Internet is one classic example of WAN, It is the
collection of large number of computers connecting together
to share information with each other and accessible from
everywhere.
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) Man is not used as
commonly as WAN and LAN networks are, it posses its
importance when it comes to connect two offices or
organization remotely located together to build networks
among computing systems. It covers large area but not as
much as WAN is capable of.
This page contains very basic information on computer
networking. However we have tried our best to provide you
all relevant articles on computer networking with which it
should be easy to form computer networks without
additional help. You can go through different articles on left
menu, follow the steps and you should be able to sticks
hands to forming computer network communication design
in which the physical components of computers are arranged
in a sequence so that they can communicate with each other.
Network is a combination of hosts, applications, routers,

hardware, software and links of media. Network architecture
is a guideline and technology for designing building and
managing a network.
Purpose of Network Architecture
The purpose of network architecture is to provide assistance
and guidance to implement high quality network. The
network architecture not only helps you to deploy the
network but also assists you in troubleshoot and maintaining
architecture. Network architecture also helps you security
management and disaster recovery.
Network architecture is composed of many layers. In the
process of layering the communication tasks are divided into
smaller parts, each part is further divided into sub tasks for
accomplishing tasks. These subtasks interact with the other
communication processes. The process of layering keeps the
network design simple. There are many ways to design and
set network architecture.
There are many choices available to set up a network
however every network must have three basic parts like
network users, applications and devices. Network itself is
operating at physical layer of the OSI model. The devices are
operating mostly at data link layer or network layer. The
application exists at the session layer of the OSI model. Lastly

the user is at the last two layers of the model including
presentation and application layer.
The Network Topologies
The network topologies play an important role in the
formation of a network. Network architecture designs closely
related to design of the network topology. There are many
types of network topologies like star topology, bus topology,
ring topology, mesh and tree topology. The choice of
network topology is dependent upon the type and size of
network architecture. Most commonly used network
topology is mesh. However the application of topology
depends upon the amount of space in which one has to
establish network architecture. The network architecture
which comprises of ten to twelve computers mostly is
designed on using bus topology as a network. In a bus
topology an array of computer terminals is connected to one
after the other computer and a network is established. In
order to establish larger networks Mesh topology is used.
Mesh network architecture is a complex design and it
involves the redundancy of interconnections attached to the
routers and switches in a network.
Components of Network Architecture

There are six basic network architecture components such as
servers, proxies, clients, command consoles, server modules
and cores. The server is the backbone of any network. The
role of servers in network architecture is to communicate
with proxies and other peered servers. They are at the top
layer of the network and they do not communicate directly
with client. Moreover servers receive complete projects and
tasks .proxies can be termed as the focal point of the
network because it facilitates the communication of the
devices. Proxies usually perform buffering and they also
communicate with the others of its type to share the loads of
the network.
The client systems are the workers of the network. They
receive tasks, they interact with the users and they perform
user applications. Command consoles are the network
guidelines which provide assistance to users about how to
control the authorize network nodes. The core is the real
work done in the system. The cores are verified within the
network and with the clients to prevent bad cores. Server
modules handle the particular tasks of the server. Server
module is generally registered with the server libraries; this
would help the server to perform the needed task.
