Connection Types

• LAN
• WLAN
• MAN
• WAN
LAN (Local Area Network)
• A network of computers that are in the same physical location,
such as home or building
• Usually connected using Ethernet
• A standard on how computers communicate over a shared media (cable)

Old: BNC connector for coaxial cable New: RJ45 for twisted pair cable

Ethernet is a way of connecting computers together in a local area
network or LAN.

Network Interface Card(NIC) - a hardware


component without which a computer
cannot be connected over a network. It is
a circuit board installed in a computer that
provides a dedicated network connection
to the computer. It is also called network
interface controller, network adapter or
LAN adapter. It allows both wired and
wireless communication.
LAN (Local Area Network)

Ethernet is defined in several IEEE 802.3 standards.


• 10BaseT -10Mbps (Mega bits per second)
• 100BaseT -100Mbps
• 1000BaseT -1000Mbps or 1Gbps.
• First number in the name of the standard represents
the speed of the network in megabits per second.
• The word base refers to baseband, meaning that the
signals are transmitted without modulation.
• The last part of the standard name refers to the cabling
used to carry signals eg: Twisted pair
WLAN (Wireless LAN)

• Standard
2.4G
• 802.11b - 11Mbps
• 802.11g - 54Mbps
• 802.11a - 54Mbps 5G
• 1 Kilo bit (Kb) = 1024bits
• 1 Mega bit(Mb) = 1024 Kilobit
• 1Kilo Byte =1024 Bytes
• 1 Mega Byte (Mb) = 1024 Kilo Byte
WAN (Wide Area Network)
• A LAN spans a large geographic area, such as
connections between cities or countries.

• Usually connected using leased line


• T1 (1.5Mbps) Telecommunication lines
• T3 (45Mbps)
• OC3 (155Mbps)
• OC12 (622Mbps) Fiber optic lines
• OC48 (2.4Gbps)
Hub/Switch/Router

• To connect multiple segments of networks into a


larger one
• Hub
• A multiport repeater to enhance signal within
the same LAN
• Switch
• Like hub but with intelligent
• Better performance
• Router
• Forward packets from one LAN to another
A Typical Network
Other Components in a Network
• Server – A server is a computer program or device that provides
a service to another computer program and its user, also known as
the client. In a data center, the physical computer that a
server program runs on is also frequently referred to as a
server. Stored in a data center, stores multiple websites

• SSD- A solid-state drive (SSD) is a new generation of storage


device used in computers. SSDs store data using flash-based
memory, much faster than the traditional hard disks they've
come to replace. SSDs also have no moving parts, and
upgrading to one is a great way to speed up your computer.
Acts as internal memory of a server, provides the data when
requested
