Applications of Networks

Networks are designed to serve. They are used for practical purposes in the following fields:

  1. Healthcare: Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Pathological Laboratories use Computer Networks to meet health requirements of the people. The healthcare professionals and assistants closely cooperate for a healthy society. The professionals and assistants come together using Networks. It can be said that Networks keep the healthcare units in functional state.




  1. Educational Institutions: These institutions use Networks for many purposes. Student admissions, teaching work, laboratory work, and project report generation are possible using Networks. Teachers refer to online tutorials and their valued classroom  sessions are admired by the student community. 


  1. Government Agencies: Government programmes work at different levels. The lower level activities are reported to high ranking officers. These reports are carefully studied. After making the study at the officers' level fresh instructions are given.This kind of exchange of reports cannot be possible without Networks. 

  2. Banks: Banks operate quickly and fast. No long queues. No worries. Networks help Bank employees to verify the customer details. 

Customer information is verified using Computers. These Computers are linked to Networks. 

ATM machines operate at the Banks. These ATMs use Networks.

  1. Online Stores: The world has changed and so has our requirements. Using Networks we can sell and buy things online. Online sale and purchase is becoming common these days. Big online stores use advanced Network technologies. Now, people are able to shop from their homes.


  1. International Organizations: These organisations provide vital data for the world community. Data related to public health, literacy, and per capita income is carefully studied by highly qualified experts. The results are communicated to related agencies across the world.


  1. Security Agencies: Criminals and law-breakers are being brought to justice. This has become possible with the valuable Network resources. Declarations can be flashed  to arrest law breakers. Criminals can be tracked. Security wings can be put on early alert. Attempts of terrorists can be frustrated. We read court decisions in cases of money laundering. Border Security can be easily boosted anytime.

Interface Message Processor ( IMP )

Interface Message Processor ( IMP ) is a special purpose Computer. The Processor plays a vital role in Host-to-Host communication. IMP is placed between Host Computers.  IMP helps Hosts to exchange information. IMPs ( Interface Message Processors ) form a group. The group dedicates itself towards reliable transmission of Packets. _________________________ Note: An Interface Message Processor can be supposed to have a face. Firstly this supposed face of IMP is in the direction of the first Host, which sends the  message. Secondly, this face is turned towards the other Host.  Now, the IMP,  with its face turned around, communicates with this other Host.  Transformed message from IMP is communicated to this Host. __________________________ Message ( a piece of information ) sent from the Host ( source of information  ) is transformed into Packets. Transformation of the message into Packets is performed by an IMP. These Packets are forwarded to the receiver H...

Understanding Distribution

Distributed presence means that more than one object is there. Also, these objects are situated at more than one location.  One object may establish communication with another object. The first object may deliver some message. The message can be received by another object. It can be said that object distribution is successful, as one object has succeeded in delivering a message. The second object has successfully received the message. Two objects are at a distance. Communication brings them closer. The successful communication has served to highlight that the idea of distribution is meaningful. Distribution helps exchange of information. Many different objects can form a group.  Two groups can occupy different locations.  It may happen that at a particular location there are several objects. But, all these objects talk among themselves.They talk among themselves and make things happen.  There is a resultant of this talk process. All the communicating objects  at...

Message Switching

Message is a piece of information. Switching means movement.  In a Network there are a number of nodes. Nodes are vital junctions of a Network. Message Switching means transmission from one node ( one point ) of a Network to another node ( another point ). So, transmission is from point to point. Transmission from one point to another point is a single hop ( jump ). Message Switching means switch over of a Message. In one step of Message Switching,  Message switches over from one node to another.  The two nodes involved in a Switching operation are on the same Network. It cannot be that the beginning node ( source node) is on one Network and the second node ( sink node ) is on a different Network. In a point to point ( one junction to another junction ) transmission, a Message travels a part of its journey. Message moves from previous point to next point. The Network is Point-to-Point Network. A Switching activity means movement of a message. Indeed, the Message has mov...
