This site has been designed as part and parcel of Systems Integration Assigment 2 .

The site looks into the world of networks and networking in a simple manner. The idea here is to convey the concepts of networks and networking to the average person who does not know much about networks but would like to get to understand the subject matter without too much technicality. I have provided links which have more detailed information regarding each area and this can be found by clicking on Further Reading.

The site looks into the areas of Network Topology, Network protocols, devices which are used in networking and explaining what a network actually is and what it does. There are areas which we have not covered due to the huge subject area of Networks and Networking, such as IP addressing, Firewalls, Security but I have provided links where you can find out further for yourself (that is if you are interested in gaining more information on networking).

The site is best viewed in 1024x768 and is compatible with bothe Netscape 4+ and Internet Explorer 4+. The site also makes uses of Macromedia flash.
