TOPICS

TYPES OF NETWORKS

Three types of networks:

1. Local Area Network (LAN)
2. Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
3. Wide Area Network (WAN)
.

 INTRODUCTION

LAN
Local Area Network
•
1.Covers a small region of space, typically a single building.
•
2. LAN is the smallest network compared to other two
networks.
•
3. the simplest form of LAN is to connect two computers
together
•
4. LAN is operated within a limited physical area such as at
home, school, a single building or several buildings.
•
5. A network which consists of less than 500 interconnected
devices across several buildings, is still recognized as a
LAN.
•
6. LAN is very high speed network (from previously
10Mbps) to 100Mbps,which is faster than MAN and WAN.

 MAN
Metropolitan Area Network

•
1. Is collection of LANs with the same geographical
area, for instance a city.
•
2. Is a network of computers located at different
sites within a large physical area, such as a city.
•
3. MAN often acts as a high speed network(although
not as fast as LAN) to allow sharing of regional
resources.
•
4. MAN can defined as a group of computers and
network devices connected together within a large
physical area.

•
5. Companies that have several branches within the
 WAN
Wide Area Network
•
1. Is the largest network of all network types.
•
2. The internet is the largest WAN in the world.
•
3. WAN generally covers large distances such as states, countries or
continents.
•
4. WAN is group of MANs or LANs or the mixture of both network.
•
5. An example in the society using WAN is the banking organization.

 Network Topology
Topology defines the structure of the
network of how all the components are
interconnected to each other. There are two
types of topology: physical and logical
topology.
Physical topology is the geometric
representation of all the nodes in a network.
There are various types of network
topology in a computer network, such
as:

Program Name: B.Tech (CSE) Program Name : B.Tech

Bus Topology
Bus Topology
Bus topology employs a single cable (Bus) to connect all the nodes. The main cable serves as the
network’s spine.
Ring Topology 
Ring Topology is a topology in which each computer is linked to another on both sides. The last
computer is linked to the first, forming a ring. 
Mesh Topology
Mesh technology is a network configuration in which you link the computers via various redundant
connections. There are numerous routes from one computer to another.
Tree Topology
Tree topologies are also known as hierarchical topology, as the root node connects all other nodes to
form a hierarchy. This topology is known as a Star Bus topology because it combines several star
topologies into a single bus

Star Topology
A hub connects all computers in this type of network topology. A central node connects all other
nodes. You can use this type of network topology on LAN networks due to its low cost and ease of
setup.
Hybrid Topology
This topology technology combines all of the topologies we’ve discussed so far. The topology can
take any shape that you want
