The document defines and discusses different types of computer networks. It begins by defining a computer network as an interconnection of two or more computers that allows them to communicate and share resources. It then discusses the basic components of a network like computers, cables, network cards, and software. The document classifies networks based on their geographical area into local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), personal area networks (PANs), and metropolitan area networks (MANs). It provides examples of each type of network and how they differ based on their size and connection method.

- 3. DEFINTION & APPLICATIONS DEFINTION: A computer network is defined as the interconnection of two or more computers. It is done to enable the computers to communicate and share available resources. APPLICATIONS: i. Sharing of resources such as printers ii. Sharing of expensive software's and database iii. Communication from one computer to another computer iv. Exchange of data and information among users via network v. Sharing of information over geographically wide areas.

- 5. SHARING RESOURCES Types of resources are: 1. Hardware: A network allows users to share many hardware devices such as printers , modems, fax machines, CD ROM, players, etc. 2. Software: sharing software resources reduces the cost of software installation, saves space on hard disk.

- 9. LOCAL AREA NETWORK(LAN) LAN is a network which is designed to operate over a small physical area such as an office, factory or a group of buildings. LAN’s are easy to design and troubleshoot Exchange of information and sharing of resources becomes easy because of LAN. In LAN all machines are connected to a single cable. Different types of topologies such as star, tree, bus, ring, etc Can be used It is usually a privately owned network.
- 10. WIDE AREA NETWORK(WAN) When network spans over a large distance or when the computers to be connected to each other are at widely separated locations a local area network cannot be used. A wide area network(WAN) is installed. The communication between different users of WAN is established using leased telephone lines, satellite links and similar channels. It is cheaper and more efficient to use the phone network for the link. Most WAN networks are used to transfer large blocks of data between its users.
- 11. PERSONAL AREA NETWORK(PAN) A personal area network is a computer network organized around an individual person. It generally consists of a mobile computer, a cell phone or personal digital assistant. PAN enables the communication among these devices. It can also be used for communication among personal devices themselves for connecting to a digital level network and internet. The PANs can be constructed using wireless or cables.
- 12. METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK(MAN) It is in between LAN & WAN technology that covers the entire city. It uses similar technology as LAN. It can be a single network such as cable TV network, or a measure of connecting a number of LAN’s o a large network so that resources can be shared LAN to LAN as well as device to device.
