Computer networking and its different types
Computer networking is the practice of connecting multiple devices to share resources and communicate with each other. It involves the use of various hardware and software components to facilitate data transmission and exchange between computers, servers, routers, switches, and other network devices.At its core, computer networking enables the sharing of information, files, and resources such as printers and internet connections among interconnected devices. This connectivity allows users to collaborate, access remote resources, and communicate in real-time, whether within a local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), or the internet.The foundation of computer networking lies in the establishment of protocols and standards that govern how data is transmitted and received across the network. Protocols such as TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) define rules for addressing, routing, and error detection to ensure reliable and efficient communication between devices.Networking hardware plays a crucial role in facilitating connectivity and data transmission within a network. Devices such as routers, switches, hubs, and access points serve as the infrastructure that enables devices to connect and communicate with each other. Routers, for example, manage data traffic between different networks, while switches facilitate communication within a single network by directing data packets to their intended destinations.In addition to hardware components, networking relies heavily on software solutions to manage and control network operations. Network operating systems (NOS) provide the necessary software infrastructure for configuring and managing network devices, implementing security measures, and monitoring network performance. Examples of popular NOS include Cisco IOS, Juniper Junos, and Microsoft Windows Server.Security is a critical aspect of computer networking, given the potential risks associated with unauthorized access, data breaches, and cyberattacks. Network security measures such as firewalls, encryption, virtual private networks (VPNs), and intrusion detection systems (IDS) help safeguard network resources and sensitive information from malicious threats.Computer networking encompasses a wide range of technologies and methodologies, including wired and wireless networking, cloud computing, virtualization, and software-defined networking (SDN). Wired networking utilizes physical cables such as Ethernet or fiber optic cables to establish connections between devices, while wireless networking relies on radio waves to transmit data over the air.Cloud computing and virtualization technologies have revolutionized the way networks are deployed and managed, allowing organizations to leverage shared resources and scale their infrastructure dynamically. Software-defined networking (SDN) is another emerging paradigm that centralizes network control and management through software-based controllers, enabling greater flexibility,

This document discusses different types of computer networks. It defines computer networking as the engineering discipline concerned with communication between computer systems or devices. It then describes several common network types including local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), metropolitan area networks (MANs), campus area networks (CANs), personal area networks (PANs), and global area networks (GANs). Each network type is defined based on the geographical area it covers and examples of each are provided.
Computer network1
1. The document classifies and describes different types of computer networks: personal area networks (PAN), local area networks (LAN), metropolitan area networks (MAN), and wide area networks (WAN).
2. PAN covers an area of 10 meters and includes mobile devices connected to each other. LAN connects computers within a small area like a school or office building and stores user data on a local server.
3. MAN spans an entire city or small region and uses protocols like Frame Relay and ATM to provide fast communication over fiber optic cables. WAN connects LANs over long distances using telephone lines and radio waves to share files among users in organizations.
Computer network
A computer network allows computing devices to exchange data through connections between nodes. There are different types of networks classified by geographic reach: local area networks (LANs) within a building or home; metropolitan area networks (MANs) spanning a city or campus; wide area networks (WANs) across countries or continents like the Internet; and personal area networks (PANs) communicating among devices within a few meters. LANs enable resource sharing and are fast but require wiring, while WANs can transmit data over long distances but are more expensive to install and maintain.

- 3. Computer Network Types • A computer network is a group of computers linked to each other that enables the computer to communicate with another computer and share their resources, data, and applications. • A computer network can be categorized by their size. A computer network is mainly of four types:
- 4. LAN(Local Area Network) • Local Area Network is a group of computers connected to each other in a small area such as building, office. • LAN is used for connecting two or more personal computers through a communication medium such as twisted pair, coaxial cable, etc. • It is less costly as it is built with inexpensive hardware such as hubs, network adapters, and ethernet cables. • The data is transferred at an extremely faster rate in Local Area Network. • Local Area Network provides higher security.
- 5. PAN(Personal Area Network) • Personal Area Network is a network arranged within an individual person, typically within a range of 10 meters. • Personal Area Network is used for connecting the computer devices of personal use is known as Personal Area Network. • Personal Area Network covers an area of 30 feet. • Personal computer devices that are used to develop the personal area network are the laptop, mobile phones, media player and play stations.
- 6. MAN(Metropolitan Area Network) • A metropolitan area network is a network that covers a larger geographic area by interconnecting a different LAN to form a larger network. • Government agencies use MAN to connect to the citizens and private industries. • In MAN, various LANs are connected to each other through a telephone exchange line. • The most widely used protocols in MAN are RS-232, Frame Relay, ATM, ISDN, OC-3, ADSL, etc. • It has a higher range than Local Area Network(LAN).
- 7. WAN(Wide Area Network) • A Wide Area Network is a network that extends over a large geographical area such as states or countries. • A Wide Area Network is not limited to a single location, but it spans over a large geographical area through a telephone line, fibre optic cable or satellite links. • The internet is one of the biggest WAN in the world. • A Wide Area Network is widely used in the field of Business, government, and education.
