Local Area Network (LAN) ek chhoti geographic area mein devices ko connect karta
hai, jaise ek building, office, ya school. LAN ka main purpose local communication
aur
resource sharing ko facilitate karna hota hai. LAN mein generally network
interface cards (NICs), switches, routers, aur Ethernet cables ya wireless access
points (Wi-Fi)
use kiye jate hain. Yeh high-speed data transfer provide karta hai, jo usually 100
Mbps se lekar 10 Gbps tak hota hai. LAN ke through interconnected devices ke beech
data
packets easily route hote hain. Yeh users ko files share karne, printers aur other
peripherals use karne, aur local servers access karne ki suvidha deta hai. LAN mein
commonly star,
bus, aur ring topologies use hoti hain, jahan star topology mein sab devices ek
central switch ya hub se connected hote hain, bus topology mein ek single backbone
cable se aur ring
topology mein devices ek closed loop mein connected hote hain. Ek office network ka
example le sakte hain, jahan sab computers, printers, aur other devices ek LAN se
connected hain.
Is se employees easily files share kar sakte hain aur network printers use kar
sakte hain. Ghar mein bhi aapke sab computers, smartphones, tablets, aur smart
devices ek Wi-Fi router
ke through ek LAN se connected hote hain, jisse aap asaani se ek dusre se
communicate kar sakte hain aur internet access kar sakte hain.
