Network AVA

A network connects computers to share resources and communicate electronically. Networks can be LANs, MANs, or WANs depending on their area of coverage. A LAN connects computers in a small area like a home or office using cables or wireless. A MAN connects LANs across a city or town. A WAN has the largest coverage across countries or worldwide using various communication methods.

TYPES OF NETWORK
Network
A network consists of two or more computers
that are linked in order to share resources (such
as printers and CD-ROMs), 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.

Network
Network are usually classified as a
LAN, MAN and WAN.
The main differentiation among
these classification is their area of
coverage.
The differentiation among the
network scheme is involve the
orientation and the distance.
LAN
LAN- local area network is a network
Developed in 1970s.
connects computers and devices in a
limited geographical area such as a
home, school computer laboratory,
office building or closely positioned
group of buildings.

LAN
Each computer or device on the
network called a node, often shares
resources such as printers, large hard
disk and programs.
It have server file which contains
programming and data which will used
by message. It also contains all
software which control the
management of network system.

LAN
WLAN- a wireless LAN that uses no
physical wires. Computers and
devices that access a wireless LAN
must have built-in wireless capability
or the appropriate wireless network
card, PC Card or Flash Card.
A wireless LAN communicates with a
wired LAN for access to its resources,
such as software, hardware and the
Internet.
MAN
MAN-Metropolitan area network
Developed in 1980s.
Is a high-speed network that
connects local area networks
(LAN) in metropolitan area such as
a city or town and handles the bulk
of communications activity across
that region.
Cont…

MAN
A MAN typically includes one or
more LANs but covers a smaller
geographic area than a WAN.
Generally covers towns and cities
(50 kms)

MAN
MAN usually is managed by a consortium
of users or by a single network provider
that sells the service to the user.
It used telephone companies, cable
television operators and other
organizations provides users with
connections to the MAN.
It have server to access a terminal to
communicate with other computers.

communication circuits connected by routers.
Routers forwards packets from one to another
following a route from the sender to the
receiver.
Store-and-Forward Hosts are typically connected
(or close to) the routers

WAN
It using a communications channel that
combines many types of media such as
telephone lines, cables, and radio
waves.
A WAN can be one large network or can
consist of two or more LANs connected
together.
The internet is the world’s largest WAN

WAN
The basic WAN service usually offers (for
many years) is a Leased Line. A Leased
Line is a point-to-point connection between
two places, implemented by different
transmission media, which creates one link
between its nodes.
An organization whose networks are based
on such lines has to connect each office
with one line, meaning that each office is
connected to as many lines as the number
of offices it is connected to, as shown in
the figure below.
