Elektronvõrgud

Elektronvõrgud, often translated as electronic networks, refers to interconnected systems of electronic devices and components that facilitate the transmission and exchange of data. These networks can range in scale from small, local area networks (LANs) within a single building to vast, global systems like the internet. The fundamental principle behind electronic networks is the ability of devices to communicate with each other, typically through the transfer of digital signals over various transmission media such as wires, optical fibers, or radio waves.

The architecture of electronic networks can vary significantly. Some networks are centralized, with a main hub managing communication, while others are decentralized or distributed, allowing for greater resilience and redundancy. Key components of an electronic network include nodes, which are the individual devices connected to the network (e.g., computers, servers, routers), and links, which are the physical or wireless connections between these nodes. Protocols, a set of rules governing data exchange, are essential for ensuring that devices can understand and process the information being transmitted. Common examples of protocols include TCP/IP, which underpins the internet, and HTTP, used for accessing web pages. The design and management of electronic networks are crucial for enabling modern communication, commerce, and information sharing.
