COMPUTER NETWORK:

A network consists of two or more

computers that are linked in order to
share resources, 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

Local Area Network:

A local area network (LAN) is a group of

computers and associated devices that share
a common communications line or wireless
link.
Typically, connected devices share the
resources of a single processor or server
within a small geographic area .
. A local area network may serve as few as
two or three users or as many as thousands of
users.

The WAN is a communications network

that makes use of existing technology to
connect local computer networks into a
larger working network that may cover
both national and international locations.

Wide Area Network:

Metropolitan Area Network (MAN):

A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a network that

interconnects users with computer resources in a

geographic area or region larger than that covered by
even a large local area network but smaller than the
area covered by a wide area network (WAN).
It is also used to mean the interconnection of several
local area networks by bridging them
withbackbonelines

Network Topologies
Network Topology Maps of how the physical or logical paths of network

devices connect. The three major topologies are star, ring, and bus.
Star Topology Most common Ethernet network topology where each device

connects to a central hub or switch.

Hub A device used with the Universal Serial Bus or in a star network topology

that allows multiple device connections.

Switch In star networks, a Layer 2 central controlling device. A switch looks

at each data frame as it comes through each port.

Ring Topology Network that is physically wired like a star network but,

logically in a ring; passes control from one device to the next in a continuous
fashion using a special data packet called a token. Used in Token Ring networks.
Bus Topology Network wherein all devices connect to a single cable. If the

cable fails, the network is down.

Mesh Topology Network where all devices connect to each other by cabling

to provide link redundancy for maximum fault tolerance. Most likely in WANs.
