    The document defines and compares different types of networks. It explains that a network allows for efficient communication between interconnected devices like computers or people. Local area networks (LANs) connect devices within a small geographic area and are owned by a private organization, while wide area networks (WANs) link geographically separated LANs across a larger region without clear boundaries and cannot be owned by a single organization. Ethernet is also described as a common LAN technology standardized in the 1980s that uses copper wire and CSMA/CD protocol for transmission and is now the most popular standard known as IEEE 802.3.

    1.What is a network?

    It is the interconnection of similar devices for efficient communication.


    Ex. Computer-Computer, Man-Man

    2.Name two Network Types ?

    Networks broadly classified into two.


    ● LAN
    ● WAN

    3.What is a LAN ?

    ● LAN-Local Area Network.


    ● Group of computers and associated devices interconnected in a small
    geographical area are called LAN.
    ● LAN has a clear cut boundary.
    ● Entire infrastructure of a LAN is owned by a private organisation.

    4.What is a WAN ?

    ● WAN - Wide Area Network


    ● WAN links are used to interconnect geographically separated LAN.
    ● It doesn't have a boundary.
    ● It is generally called Network of networks or Internetwork.
    ● WAN infrastructure cannot be owned by an organisation.

    5.What is Ethernet?

    ● It is a common LAN technology.


    ● It was developed in the early 70s.
    ● At that time it used wireless technology.
    ● DIX standardized ethernet in 1980.
    ● Then copper wire is used for transmission using CSMA/CD Protocol.
    ● CSMA/CD- Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection.
    ● Later IEEE published it's all standards in their third subcommittee.
    ● Thus ethernet is known as IEEE 802.3
    ● It is the most popular technology today.
    ● This is because of Scalability and Ease of configuration.
