1-1 DATA COMMUNICATIONS
The term telecommunication means communication at a
distance. The word data refers to information presented
in whatever form is agreed upon by the parties creating
and using the data. Data communications are the
exchange of data between two devices via some form of
transmission medium such as a wire cable.

1-2 NETWORKS

A network is a set of devices (often referred to as nodes)


connected by communication links. A node can be a
computer, printer, or any other device capable of sending
and/or receiving data generated by other nodes on the
network.

1-3 THE INTERNET

The Internet has revolutionized many aspects of our daily


lives. It has affected the way we do business as well as the
way we spend our leisure time. The Internet is a
communication system that has brought a wealth of
information to our fingertips and organized it for our use.

Topics discussed in this section:


A Brief History ( IMP => interface message processor)
The Internet Today (ISPs)

1-4 PROTOCOLS AND STANDARDS

In this section, we define two widely used terms: protocols


and standards. First, we define protocol, which is
synonymous with rule. Then we discuss standards, which
are agreed-upon rules.

Topics discussed in this section:


Protocols (syntax, semantics, timing)
Standards (De facto, De jure)
Standards Organizations
Internet Standards (RFC)
