 Types of Computer Network
▪ Computer networks can be categories by their size as
well as their purpose.
▪ The size of a network can be expressed by the
geographic area.
▪ Some of the different networks based on size are:
1. Local Area Network - LAN
2. Metropolitan Area Network - MAN
3. Wide Area Network - WAN

Unit: 1 - Introduction to Computer Networks and Internet 6 Darshan Institute of Engineering & Technology
 Local Area Network
▪ A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that
interconnects computers within a limited area such as a residence,
school, laboratory, university campus or office building.

Unit: 1 - Introduction to Computer Networks and Internet 7 Darshan Institute of Engineering & Technology
 Metropolitan Area Network
▪ A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a computer network that
interconnects with computer in a metropolitan area like city.
▪ MAN is a larger than LAN but smaller than the area covered by a WAN.
▪ It is also used to interconnection of several local area network.

▪ For half duplex(one way) communication, one channel is allocated and
for full duplex(two way) communication, two channels are allocated.
▪ It is mainly used for voice communication requiring real time services
without delay.

 Packet Switched Network
▪ It is not required to establish the connection initially.
▪ The connection/channel is available to use by users. But when
traffic or number of users increases then it will lead to congestion
in the network.
▪ Packet switched networks are mainly used for data and voice
applications requiring non-real time scenarios.

 Delay, Loss & Throughput
▪ Delay
✔ As a packet travels from one node (host or router) to the subsequent
node (host or router) along this path, the packet suffers from several
types of delays at each node along the path.

dnodal = dproc + dqueue + dtran + dprop

Where
dnodal = Total Delay
dproc = Processing Delay
dqueue = Queuing Delay
dtran = Transmission Delay
dprop = Propagation Delay
Unit: 1 - Introduction to Computer Networks and Internet 68 Darshan Institute of Engineering & Technology

▪ Processing Delay (dproc)
✔ The time required to examine the packets header and determine where to
direct the packet.
✔ To check bit level error
✔ Determine output link
✔ Delay in terms of microseconds

arrive at their destination.
▪ The loss of data packets depends on the switch queue/buffer. The
loss of data packets increases with the increases in the traffic
