Computer communication and networks
Data communication involves the exchange of data between two devices via some transmission medium. There are five key components: the message being sent, the sender, the receiver, the transmission medium such as a wire or cable, and protocols which establish communication rules. Data can flow in simplex, half-duplex, or full-duplex mode. A network connects multiple devices called nodes and data is generated and shared between these nodes. Connections can be point-to-point between two nodes or multipoint between more than two nodes where the channel capacity is shared.

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. 2

- 9. TYPES OF CONNECTIONS: Point-to-Point: In telecommunications, a point-to-point connection refers to a communications connection between two nodes or endpoints. The entire capacity of the link is reserved for transmission between two devices. Communication link may be wire or microwave or satellite link. An example is a telephone call, in which one telephone is connected with one other, and what is said by one caller can only be heard by the other. 9
- 10. MULTIPOINTS A multipointconnection is a connection in which more than two terminals share one communications link. In multipoint environment the capacity of the channel is shared. if several devices can use the link simultaneously, then it is spatially share connection. If user take turns .it is timeshared connection. 10
