Network Architecture
Overview
This section provides an overview of the network infrastructure, including the components and technologies used for communication.
Components
- Routers: Devices responsible for directing network traffic between different networks.
- Switches: Devices that connect devices within a local area network (LAN) and manage data traffic.
- Firewalls: Security devices that control and monitor incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules.
Topologies
- Star Topology: All devices are connected to a central hub or switch.
- Mesh Topology: Devices are connected to multiple other devices, creating redundant paths for data transmission.
- Hybrid Topology: Combination of different topologies to meet specific network requirements.
Protocols
- TCP/IP: The fundamental protocol suite used for communication on the internet.
- HTTP/HTTPS: Protocols for transmitting web content securely over the internet.
- DNS: Protocol for translating domain names into IP addresses.
