Unit 4: Networking 1 4.1 Networking 1 Introduction to Networking

>> Recently, a new family -- the Smiths -- moved into a house on our street.

>>最近，一个新家庭——史密斯一家——搬进了我们这条街上的一所房子。

 

My wife made them a Welcome package with fruits and goodies and asked me to deliver it to them.

我妻子给他们做了一个欢迎包，里面有水果和糖果，让我把它送给他们。

 

A few new houses on the block were sold recently and I wasn't exactly sure
which house the Smiths moved into.

这个街区最近卖掉了几栋新房子，我不太确定史密斯一家搬进了哪一栋。

 

Late one night, I went to my porch and shouted, "Hey, Bob Smith,
which house did you guys move into?"

一天深夜，我走到门廊前大喊:“嘿，鲍勃·史密斯，你们搬进哪栋房子了?”

In the process, I woke up the whole neighborhood, including our two kids.

在这个过程中，我吵醒了整个社区，包括我们的两个孩子。

 

However, I did in fact get Bob's attention and he very discreetly walked to my doorstep
and said, "Hey Jonathan, it's 123 Main Street.
"

然而，我确实引起了鲍勃的注意，他非常谨慎地走到我的门口说:“嗨，乔纳森，这里是大街123号。”

Then he walked home.

然后他走回家。

 

Later that night I brought the package over to the Smiths.

那天晚上晚些时候，我把包裹送到史密斯家。

 

Also recently, our kids made art projects at school for their grandparents --
my parents, who live in Staten Island, New York, and my in-laws, who live in Philly.

同样在最近，我们的孩子在学校为他们的祖父母做艺术项目——我的父母住在纽约的史坦顿岛，我的姻亲住在费城。

 

I didn't want to drive six hours to Staten Island or Philly from Rochester just
to deliver the works of art, so I Googled for the nearest UPS store to our house.

我不想从罗切斯特开车6个小时到史坦顿岛或费城只是为了运送艺术品，所以我用谷歌搜索离家最近的UPS商店。

 

I brought the packages of art there, paid for them, and went home.

我把一包包的艺术品带到那里，付了钱，然后就回家了。

 

The magical world of networking uses the same logic.

网络的神奇世界使用同样的逻辑。

 

Computing devices directly deliver messages for other devices
on the same network through switches.

计算设备通过交换机直接为同一网络上的其他设备传递消息。

 

Switches connect devices of the same network together.

交换机将同一网络的设备连接在一起。

 

However, computing devices rely on a router to communicate with devices on different networks.

然而，计算设备依赖于路由器与不同网络上的设备通信。

 

We'll see exactly how routers and switches work in a future module.

我们将在以后的模块中看到路由器和交换机是如何工作的。

 

But for now, all you need to know is that switches connect devices
of the same network together and routers connect different networks together.

但是现在，您只需要知道交换机将同一网络的设备连接在一起，而路由器将不同网络连接在一起。
