Network 1

The document presents an overview of computer networks, defining a network as a connection of two or more computers for resource sharing and communication. It categorizes networks into three types: Local Area Network (LAN), Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), and Wide Area Network (WAN), each with distinct characteristics and applications. LAN is suitable for limited areas, MAN covers cities or campuses, and WAN spans large geographical areas, often connecting multiple LANs.

WHAT IS NETWORK ?
A network consists of two or more computers that are
linked in order to share resources (such as
printers and CDs), exchange files, or allow
electronic communications. The computers on a network
may be linked through cables, telephone lines, radio
waves, satellites, or infrared light beams.

LAN
A Local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and peripheral devices
which are connected in a limited area such as school, laboratory, home,
and office building. It is a widely useful network for sharing resources like
files, printers, games, and other application. The simplest type of LAN
network is to connect computers and a printer in someone’s home or office
. In general, LAN will be used as one type of transmission medium.
Characteristics of LAN
It is a private network, so an outside regulatory body never controls it.
LAN operates at a relatively higher speed compared to others WAN systems.
 There are various kinds of media access control methods like token ring and ethernet.
MAN

A Metropolitan Area Network or MAN is consisting of a computer network


across an entire city, college campus, or a small region. This type of
network is large than a LAN, which is mostly limited to a single building or
site. Depending upon the type of configuration, this type of network allows
you to cover an area from several miles to tens of miles.
Characteristics of MAN
It mostly covers towns and cities in a maximum 50 km range.
Mostly used medium is optical fibre, cables.
Data rates adequate for distributed computing applications.
WAN

A wide area network (WAN) is another important computer network that


which is spread across a large geographical area. WAN network system
could be a connection of a LAN which connects with other LAN’s using
telephone lines and radio waves. It is mostly limited to an enterprise or
an organization.
Characteristics of WAN
The software files will be shared among all the users; therefore, all can access to the
latest files.
Any organization can form its global integrated network using WAN.
