Network Goals

Network is a multipurpose connected structure. They are established to meet certain goals. 

We know institutions and organisations have to serve. They have to carry their mission forward. In general Networks are designed with following goals:


  1. Sharing: The physical structure of the Network allows itself to be shared. Sometimes a Network line allows a number of information to pass out. This is because the Network line is able to carry more than one information at a time. Its capacity to carry information is really appreciable.

There is a scope that idle Networks can be shared.


Sharing of Network by many users helps in communication. It makes life easy. Because many users get Network benefits, they can collectively invest. This brings down  the financial burden.


  1. Maintenance of Information Flow: Network maintains the flow of Information. 

Many types of disturbances affect information, when it is traveling. A Network protects information. Anything ( like interference from something annoying ) that may cause unwanted trouble is pushed and neutralised. Yes, information on its way is carefully monitored. If information content is somehow affected, correction follows.


  1. Maximize Transmission: Network is a facility. A facility must be utilized properly. It must give the best results. Losses must be minimised. Network technology has advanced. The focus is on using  Networks for maximum transmission capacity. There are limitations of Networks. It is really attempted to get the maximum of a Network as regards support for transmission. Fortunately, things have shown up.


  1. Guaranteed Performance: Networks cause movement of information. Such movement carries multiple risks. There can be leakage of information. Content on the fly can be stolen. Despite risks, performance is largely praiseworthy.

Networks are able to handle the demand, if the number of users increases. Also, data traffic congestion is properly handled. Fast transmission speed is moderated. Slow transmission can also materialize. This way a Network can operate when speed varies. Lost information can be recovered.

Networking Techniques suggest solutions. As a result, Networks guarantee accurate and efficient communication.

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...
