Components of Computer Network

Components of Computer Network 



The  components that make up a computer network are - 

1. Client 
2. Server 
3. Middleware 
4. Router and Switch 
5. IP address 

Client - Client is a computer that retrieves information from or uses resources provided by the server or main computer.

Server - A server is an instance of a computer program that accepts and responds to requests made by client. 
Servers are used to manage network resources. 
For example, a user may setup a server to control access to a network, send/receive e-mail, manage print jobs, or host a website. 

Application Servers 
  • Audio/Video Servers
  • Chat Servers 
  • Fax Servers 
  • FTP Servers 
  • Groupware Servers 
  • IRC Servers 
  • List Servers 
  • Mail Servers
  • Proxy Servers 
  • Telnet Servers 
  • Web Servers
Middleware is the software that connects two otherwise separate applications.

Most networks today, including all computers on the Internet, use the TCP/IP protocol as the standard for how to communicate on the network. 

In the TCP/IP protocol, the unique identifier for a computer is called its IP address. TCP - is responsible for verifying the correct delivery of data from client to server. IP - is responsible for moving packet of data from node to node.
