● As the world started to get more technologically advanced after the two devastating
world wars which changed the power dynamics of the entire world, use of computers in
United States of America, one of the few involved parties in the world war who didn’t
register any great loss on their side as compared to the other powers grew. History of
LAN In the 1960s, more and more universities and research labs had started to use
computers as they realized it made their work easy and efficient.
● As the demand and the need of computers grew, so did the demand of a centralized
network where two or more computers can be connected together to make their work
more convenient without the need to have a separate network for every single computer
device. A Local Area Network (LAN) was needed to connect all the computers in
universities and laboratories.
● In the next decade, the work on developing LAN technologies started and a few people
came up with very impressive plans including Cambridge Ring by the University of
Cambridge and Ethernet by Xerox PARC.
● The Cambridge Ring had the capacity of 255 nodes which may have caused
inconvenience since technology in this field was as new as a newborn child and
managing, controlling and directing so many devices would surely create disruption in
the service. Its’ production started in 1974 and by the 1980s, it was one of the most used
technologies in the Local Area Network.

3 LAN PROTOCOLS
Some of the most common LAN protocols are "Ethernet,"
"Token Ring" and "Fiber Distributed Data Interface," or
"FDDI." "Ethernet" is by far the most common type of LAN
protocol.
Introduction to 4 Types of LAN :
1. Ethernet. It is a network protocol that controls how data is
transferred over a local area network. ...
2. Token Ring. It is a type of local area network in which all
devices are connected in a ring arrangement. ...
3. Token Bus. ...
4. Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)
