Network Applications

In networks, work is done collaboratively or server based. As the scope of network is increased the entire network can be accessed in different ways. The Internet, a global network collection, enables worldwide information access. 

E-mail 

E-mail is electronic mail sent over a network or the Internet. To send or receive an email, a user needs an email address formatted as 

username@location. 

Components of username: 

  1. Username: Recipient's email name.
  2. @: Separates the email name and location.
  3. Location: Electronic post office where mail is delivered and stored.

Voice mail 

Initially, only text emails were sent. Voice information had to be sent as an attachment. Now, voicemail technology allows direct sending and receiving of voice data over the Internet. Users can hear messages if their computer has multimedia capability and voicemail software. 

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) &   BBS (Bulletin Board Service) 

It is a fast application level TCP/IP protocol widely used for transferring both text-based and binary files to and from remote systems, especially over the Internet. Most of the people use FTP program for downloading software on the Internet. 

Bulletin Board Service (BBS) is an Internet application where users can post and access information using special software. Information sent to BBS is broadcasted, allowing users to easily share and receive information worldwide with minimal effort and time. 

Chat 

Whenever we want to contact someone who lives distant from us, we have to incur some extra charges while using a telephone line. This Internet application allows users to chat online. Users join chat rooms on a website, log in, and type messages to communicate with others in the room. It's a popular and cost-effective alternative, costing the same as a local call. 

UserGroup 

User groups are a popular Internet service where users can create and communicate within groups on certain websites. Users register with their interests, and groups form around specific aims. Unlike BBS, user groups share information only with relevant members, avoiding unrelated content.
