NETWORKING:
A computer network is a communication that allows the sharing of
information and resources.

•Types of Networking

Three major types of networking:


1 ) LAN
2 ) MAN
3 ) WAN
Other types of networking:
i ) Home Network
ii) Enterprise Private Network
LAN (LOCAL AREA NETWORK )

A local area network is a


computer network that
connects computers in a
limited area, such as a
home, school, or office
building. A LAN is
useful for sharing
resources like files,
printers, games, and
other applications.
NETWORK TOPOLOGY

•Star Topology
•Bus Topology
•Ring Topology
STAR TOPOLOGY

• In a star network devices are connected to a central


computer, called a hub.
• Nodes communicate across the network by passing data
through the hub.
RING TOPOLOGY

A local-area network (LAN) whose


topology is a ring. That is, all of the nodes
are connected in a closed loop. Messages
travel around the ring, with each node
reading those messages addressed to it.
BUS TOPOLOGY

• In networking a bus is the central cable -- the main


wire -- that connects all devices on a local-area
network (LAN).
• It is also called the backbone. This is often used to
describe the main network connections composing the
Internet.
• Bus networks are relatively inexpensive and easy to
install for small networks. Ethernet systems use a bus
topology.
ADVANTAGES OF LAN

Few advantages of LAN are mentioned below:


• Resource sharing
• E-mail
• Security
• Security
• Cost
• Speed
DISADVANTAGES OF
LAN
Disadvantages of LAN are mentioned below:

• Cables may break


• File server may break
• Needs administrative time
• Expensive to install
WAN (WIDE AREA NETWORK)

• A wan spans a large geographical area,


such as a state, country. WAN
connects multiple smaller networks
such as local area network or metro
area networks.
WAN TYPES

• SD- WAN
• X.25
• SONET
• Leased line
• ISDN
• Frame Relay
• DSL
• Dial-up
• Cable modem
• ATM
MAN (METROPOLITAN AREA
NETWORK)

• A metropolitan area network is a


network that interconnects users
with computer resources in a
geographical area or a region than
that covered by even a large local
area network but a smaller area
network covered by WAN.
• It is used for interconnection of
several local area networks by
bridging them backbone line.
CONCLUSION

• LAN is a private network used in small offices or homes, usually


within a 1km range, with a high-speed transfer data rate and
full-time service connectivity at a low cost. WAN covers a large
geographical area, such as a country or a continent.
• Its data transfer data is usually low as compared to LAN, but it is
compatible with a variety of access lines and has advanced
security.
• MAN covers an area bigger than LAN within a city or town and is
an ISP for larger LAN.
• It uses optical fibers or wireless infrastructure to link the LANs,
therefore, providing high-speed regional resource sharing.
