Host Computer

A Host Computer is a part of Network structure. It is a computer that is very resource rich.  It is used in organisations. Organisations store application programs and important information in Hosts. These application programs are used to serve the meaningful goals of an organisation. 

Computers based Network Architecture is suitable for Host Computers. As part of a Network, Host gives a great performance. Many small Computers access the Host Computer. Host Computer takes care of the requirements of small Computers. The Host and dependent  small Computers are part of a Network.

The speed at which Hosts work is great. Besides, they have to carry out large amounts of data processing. The size of data handled by Hosts is large. Data comes from many small Computers. Small Computers submit data in small amounts. So, collectively combining these small amounts the size of data becomes large for the Host. 

Problems that cannot be solved by small Computers are sent to the Host. Problems are handed over because small Computers have limitations. They cannot solve many problems on their own. So  small Computers communicate with the Host. These problems are solved by Host Computer. The solutions are dispatched to small Computers. Yes, the Host dispatches solutions.

The Host has no problem. Great processing speed and large memory size of the Host prove to be useful. The Network Architecture makes it very sure that Host service is properly utilised.

The Host and small Computers linked to it stay happily connected. The Host has the privilege to  serve a number of Computers.

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...
