Computer Network:

  • Computer network is defined as two or more computers used to communicate with each other.
  • Group of computers can share resources and information through networks.
  • The important part of the modern world is the computer networks, because internet is based on computer networks only.

Type of computer networks:

There are three types of computer networks as follows:

  • Local Area Network (LAN)
  • Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
  • Wide Area Network (WAN)

Explanation of Solution

 Difference between LAN, MAN and WAN:

 

Local Area Network (LAN)Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)Wide Area Network (WAN)
Within a small area, a network that is used to connect the computers is called as LAN.

Within several buildings in the same city a network that connects the computer is called as MAN.

The large geographical area must be connected via WAN.

In small areas, the LAN gives an interface between the computers and shares some of the resources.

It is a collection of numerous LANs and is executed using high backbone methods such as fiber optical cable...

Write a program that reads a list of 10 integers, and outputs those integers in reverse. For coding simplicity, follow each output integer by a space, including the last one. Then, output a newline. Ex: If the input is: 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 the output is: 20 18 16 14 12 10 8 642 To achieve the above result, first read the integers into an array. Then output the array in reverse. 623802 1031906 nx3zmv7.
6.3B-2. Multiple Access protocols (2). Consider the figure below, which shows the arrival of 6 messages for transmission at different multiple access nodes at times t=0.1, 0.8, 1.35, 2.6, 3.9, 4.2. Each transmission requires exactly one time unit. 1 2 3 4 t=0.0 t=1.0 t=2.0 t=3.0 5 6 t=4.0 t=5.0 For the slotted ALOHA protocol, indicate which packets are successfully transmitted. You can assume that if a packet experiences a collision, a node will not attempt a retransmission of that packet until sometime after t=5. 1 2 3 4 5 K
