3. COMPUTER NETWORK
COMPUTER NETWORK is
the engineering decipline
concerned with the
communication between
computer system or
devices.
A Computer Network is any
set of computer or devices
connected to each other
with the ability to
exchange data.

4. TYPES OF NETWORK
• There are many different types of computer networks. Some
types of them are shown below:
1. LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN)
2. WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN)
3. WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK (WLAN)
4. METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK (MAN)
5. PERSONAL AREA NETWORK (PAN)
6. STORAGE AREA NETWORK (SAN)
7. CAMPUS AREA NETWORK (CAN)

5. LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN)
A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and
associated devices that share a common communications line
o r w i r e l e s s l i n k t o a s e r v e r .
Typically, a LAN encompasses computers and peripherals
connected to a server within a distinct geographic area such
a s a n o f f i c e o r a c o m m e r c i a l e s t a b l i s h m e n t .
Computers and other mobile devices use a LAN connection to
share resources such as a printer or network storage.

6. WIDE AREA NETWORK
A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a computer network that
covers a large geographic area such as a city, country, or
spans even intercontinental distances
A WAN uses a communication channel that combines many
types of media such as telephone lines, cables and air
waves.
A WAN often makes use of transmission facilities provided
by common carriers, such as telephone companies.
One of the most prominent example of WAN is Internet.

7. WIRELESS LOCAL ARE NETWORK (WLAN)
A Wireless Local Area
Network (WLAN) is a
wireless computer network
that links two or more
devices using a wireless
distribution method within
a limited area such as a
home, school, computer
laboratory, or office
building.

8. METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK (MAN)
A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a network that
interconnects users with computer resources in a geographic area
or region larger than that covered by even a large local area
network (LAN) but smaller than the area covered by a wide area
network (WAN).
The term is applied to the interconnection of networks in a city
into a single larger network (which may then also offer efficient
connection to a wide area network).
It is also used to mean the interconnection of several local area
networks by bridging them with backbone lines.
The latter usage is also sometimes referred to as a campus
network.

9. PERSONAL AREA NETWORK (PAN)
A personal area network (PAN) is a computer network used
for data transmission amongst devices such as computers,
telephones, tablets and personal digital assistants.
For example, a person traveling with a laptop, a personal
digital assistant (PDA), and a portable printer could
interconnect them without having to plug anything in, using
some form of wireless technology.
Typically, this kind of personal area network could also be
interconnected without wires to the Internet or other
networks.

10. INTERNET AREA NETWORK (IAN)
An Internet area network (IAN) is a concept for a
communications network[1] that connects voice and data
endpoints within a cloud environment over IP, replacing an
existing local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN) or
the public switched telephone network (PSTN).

11. CAMPUS AREA NETWORK (CAN)
A campus network, campus area network, corporate area network
or CAN is a computer network made up of an interconnection of
local area networks (LANs) within a limited geographical area.
The networking equipments (switches, routers) and transmission
media (optical fiber, copper plant, Cat5 cabling etc.) are almost
entirely owned by the campus tenant / owner: an enterprise,
university, government etc.

12. NETWORK TOPLOGY
Network topology is the arrangement of the various elements
(links, nodes, etc.) of a computer network.
Essentially, it is the topological structure of a network and may
be depicted physically or logically.
Physical topology is the placement of the various components of a
network, including device location and cable installation, while
logical topology illustrates how data flows within a network,
regardless of its physical design.
Distances between nodes, physical interconnections, transmission
rates, or signal types may differ between two networks, yet their
topologies may be identical.

13. NETWORK TOPOLOGY
An example is a local area network (LAN): Any given node in the
LAN has one or more physical links to other devices in the
network; graphically mapping these links results in a geometric
shape that can be used to describe the physical topology of the
network.
Conversely, mapping the data flow between the components
determines the logical topology of the network.
There are types of network topology:
1. Point-to-point
2. Bus
3. Star
4. Ring
5. Mesh
6. Hybrid
7. Daisy chain
