The fundamental of network operating system

An Operating System is a collection of programs that provides an interface between application programs and the computer system (hardware). Its primary function is to provide application programmers with an abstraction of the system resources, such as memory, input-output and processor, which enhances the convenience, efficiency and correctness of their us...

Network protocol

A protocol is a set of rules that governs the communications between computers on a network. In order for two computers to talk to each other, they must be speaking the same language. Many different types of network protocols and standards are required to ensure that your computer (no matter which operating system, network card, or application you are using) can communicate with another computer located on the next desk or half-way around the world. The OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) Reference Model defines seven layers of networking protocols....

Network Interface Card

A network card (also called a Network Adapter or Network Interface Card, or NIC for short) acts as the interface between a computer and a network cable. The purpose of the network card is to prepare, send, and control data on the network. ...

Types of Network Interface Cards

Network interface cards, referred to as NICs, are PC integrate cards that give inter-networking capabilities for a particular computing solution. There are many types of NICs that are utilized in changeable situations. The biggest variation between cards is depending upon their connective medium and speed capabilities. To a lesser extent, NICs can be distinguished by their type of connectivity to P...
