integration of WLAN

What are the 4 types of networks?


Types of Networks
• PAN (Personal Area Network)
• LAN (Local Area Network)
• MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
• WAN (Wide Area Network)

• Explain the difference between switching and routing with proper examples. .

Whereas switching creates a single network made up of individual computers, routing connects
entire networks to each other. Routers perform a role similar to that of switches, but on a much
larger scale. Thus, a router essentially acts as a dispatcher of data through the most efficient
channel; A classic example involves traffic in a road system, in which each driver picks a path
that minimizes their travel time. With such routing, the equilibrium routes can be longer than
optimal for all drivers.

network switch connects devices in a network to one another and enab“speak” by exchanging
data packets. Examples of these devices include computers, printers, and wireless access
points. Switches can be software-based virtual devices or hardware devices that control
physical networks.

What is the difference between routing and routing?


A routed protocol can be used by all hosts on the internetwork. On the other hand, a
routing protocol is only employed when routers are involved. Its goal is to assist routers
in creating and maintaining routing tables.

deliver instructions to the computer to perform and accomplish a task. This set of
instructions is usually viewed as incomprehensible code structured fde
programming language syntax.
• A programming language is a set of symbols, grammars and rules with the help of which
one is able to translate algorithms to programs that will be executed by the computer.
The programmer communicates with a machine using programming languages. Most of
the programs have a highly structured set of rules.
(b)What are the important parameters that influence the selection of a programming
language?
