Types of Networking
There are many types of computer networking
which are used world wide these days. There
are some types of network that are using
Worldwide:
 LAN - Local Area Network
 WAN - Wide Area Network
 WLAN - Wireless Local Area Network
 PAN - Personal Area Network
 SAN - Storage Area Network
 GAN - Global Area Network
 MAN - Metropolitan Area Network
 CAN - Controller Area Network
 DAN - Desk Area Network
 VPN - Virtual Private Network
Network Classification By Their Component Role
Peer To Peer Networking
 In peer to peer network each computer is
responsible for making its own resources
available to other computers on the network.
 Each computer is responsible for setting up
and maintaining its own security for these
resources.
 Also each computer is responsible for
accessing the required network resources
from peer to peer relationships.
 Peer to peer network is useful for a small
network containing less than 10 computers
on a single LAN .
 In peer to peer network each computer can
function as both client and server.
 Peer to peer networks do not have a central
control system. There are no servers in peer
networks.
 Peer networks are amplified into home
group.
Advantages & Disadvantages of Peer To
Peer Networking

Advantages:
 Use less Disadvantages:
expensive  Not very secure
computer  No central point of
hardware storage or file
 Easy to archiving
administer  Additional load on
 No NOS computer because of
required resource sharing
 More built in  Hard to maintain
redundancy version control
 Easy setup &
low cost
Client/Server Networking
 In client-server network relationships, certain
computers act as server and other act as
clients. A server is simply a computer, that
available the network resources and provides
service to other computers when they request
it. A client is the computer running a
program that requests the service from a
server.
 Local area network(LAN) is based on client
server network relationship.
 A client-server network is one on which all
available network resources such as files,
directories, applications and shared devices,
are centrally managed and hosted and then
are accessed by client.
 Client serve network are defined by the
presence of servers on a network that
provide security and administration of the
network.
Advantages and Disadvantages of
Client/Server Networking

Disadvantages:
• Requires
Advantages: professional
• Very secure administration
• Better • More hardware
performance intensive
• Centralized • More software
backup intensive
• very reliable • Expensive dedicated
software
