Unit-1 Introduction of Neowork

A computer network can be defined as interconnected computing devices governed by standards to share data and resources. The document discusses three types of networks: personal area networks (PANs) connecting devices within 10 meters, local area networks (LANs) connecting devices within an organization using cables or WiFi, and metropolitan area networks (MANs) connecting buildings larger than a LAN but smaller than a WAN.

Network

A computer network can be defined as a


collection of computing devices (nodes)
interconnected by wires or other means and
governed by a set of standards (protocols) in
order to share data and resources.
Types of Network
PAN(PERSONAL AREA NETWORK)

• Personal Area Network are usually confirmed to surrounding


of a single person typically within a range of 10 meters.
• The main device usually is the computer.

• Other device Such as Printer, Scanner, Mobile Phones.


LAN(LOCAL AREA NETWORK)
• A local area network(LAN) is a group of computers and associated
devices that share a common communication line or wireless link
• Connected devices share the resources of a single processor or
server within a small geographic area.
• A local area network may serve as few as two or three users or as
many as thousands of users

• Scope of LAN is limited to an organization, we can implement


strict policy rules within the network.

• Ex: account data access by account department


• Wireless LANs are very popular these days,
especially in homes, older office buildings, cafeterias,
and other places where it is too much trouble to install
cables.

• In these systems, every computer has a radio


modem and an antenna that it uses to communicate
with other computers.

• There is a standard for wireless LANs called IEEE


802.11, popularly known as WiFi, which has become
very widespread.
• Wired LANs run at speeds of 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps,
have low delay (microseconds or nanoseconds), and
make very few errors. Newer LANs can operate at up to
10 Gbps.

• The topology of many wired LANs is built from


point-to-point links. IEEE 802.3, popularly called
Ethernet, is, by far, the most common type of wired
LAN.
• Gateway level filtering is possible.

• Gateway are devices between the LAN and outside world.

• LAN is secured from the attacks generated out side

• LAN are connected is known as topologies

• Various topologies are possible in network Ex. Star, Ring, Bus

• LAN can be restricted to 100 meters.

• Hub, Cable or Switch can be used to implement LAN


architecture.
MAN(METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK)

• A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) is a network that is


utilized across multiple buildings
• Commonly used in school campuses or large companies
with multiple buildings
• Is larger than a LAN, but smaller than a WAN

• Is also used to mean the interconnection of several LANs


by bridging them together. This short of network is also
referred to as a campus network
• It work between 5 to 50 km.
• MAN aim was to provided enough bandwidth a
large of customers and provided services.
• The best-known examples of MANs are the cable
television networks available in many cities.
• Recent developments in highspeed wireless Internet
access have resulted in another MAN, which has been
standardized as IEEE 802.16 and is popularly known
as WiMAX.
WAN(WIDE AREA NETWORK)

• Is the largest network of all network types.


• The internet is the largest WAN in the world.
• WAN generally covers large distances such as states,
countries.
• WAN is group of MANs or LANs or the mixture of both
network.
• An example in the society using WAN is the banking
organization.
INTERNETWORKS

• An internetworks is a connection that joins two network.


• The internet that we are used to is one such internetwork.
• WAN connect multiple nodes or networks into a single union.
• Internetworks are also designed to do the same.
• WAN are also interconnected by the internet.
• The internet is sometimes referred to as ‘network of network’
because it connect multiple networks together.
• WWW is not a internet. It is a service provided on top of the
internet
