 Defenition
A computer network is a group of computers that
use a set of common communication protocols over
digital interconnections for the purpose of sharing
resources located on or provided by the network
nodes. The interconnections between nodes are
formed from a broad spectrum of telecommunication
network technologies, based on physically wired,
optical, and wireless radio-frequency methods that
may be arranged in a variety of network topologies .

Use
A computer network extends interpersonal
communications by electronic means with
various technologies, such as email, instant
messaging, online chat, voice and video
telephone calls, and video conferencing.
A network allows sharing of network and
computing resources. Users may access and
use resources provided by devices on the
network, such as printing a document on a
shared network printer or use of a shared
storage device. A network allows sharing of

authorized users the ability to access information
stored on other computers on the network.
 Types Of Network
Nanoscale network .
Personal area network (PAN) .
Local area network (LAN) .
Home area network (HAM) .
Storage area network (SAN) .
Campus area network (CAN) .
Backbone network
Metropolitan area network (MAN) .
Wide area network (WAN) .
Enterprise private network
Virtual private network (VPN) .
Global area network (GAN) .
 Local area network (LAN)
A local area network (LAN) is a computer
network that interconnects computers
within a limited area such as a residence,
school, laboratory, university campus or
office building By contrast, a wide area
network (WAN) not only covers a larger
geographic distance, but also generally
involves leased telecommunication circuits.
Early Ethernet used coaxial cable. Shielded
twisted pair was used in IBM's Token Ring LAN
implementation. In 1984, StarLAN showed the
potential of simple unshielded twisted pair by
using category 3 cable—the same cable used
for telephone systems. This led to the
development of 10BASE-T (and its twisted-pair
successors) and structured cabling which is
still the basis of most commercial LANs today.
LANs usually are owned by the organizaon
that is using the network to interconnect equipment

Example of LAN applications:

• Personal computer LAN
• Storage Area Networks

Personal Computer LANs

• low cost
• limited data rate
• back end networks
• interconnecting large systems (mainframes
/servers and large storage devices)
• high data rate
• high speed interface
• distributed access
• limited distance
• limited number of devices
