    This document discusses different types of computer networks - LAN, MAN, and WAN. LAN refers to a local area network that connects computers within a small area like a school or building. MAN is a metropolitan area network that connects multiple LANs within a city. WAN is the largest network, a wide area network that spans countries or the entire world by connecting MANs. Key differences are in their geographic scope, speed, and level of central administration. LANs are fastest but cover limited areas, while WANs are globally reaching but slower.

    COMPUTER NETWORKS

    • LAN
    • MAN
    • WAN
    INTRODUCTION

    • LAYERS OF TCP/IP MODEL


    • BOTTOM LAYER OF TCP/IP MODEL
    • HOST TO NETWORK LAYER

    • NETWORK: A GROUP OF COMPUTERS THAT ARE CONNECTED WITH EACH OTHER THROUGH A
    TRANSMISSION MEDIUM SUCH AS CABLE ,WIRES OR WIRELESS MEDIUM.
    THESE ARE THE NETWORKS THAT ACT AS THE MEDIUM OF TRANSMISSION.
    TYPES OF NETWORKS:

    • LAN : LOCAL AREA NETWORK

    • MAN : METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK

    • WAN : WIDE AREA NETWORK


    • CONNECTION FOR SMALLER AREAS
    EXAMPLE: SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, APARTMENTS ETC

    • SECURED NETWORK AS THERE’S NO OUTSIDE


    LAN : LOCAL AREA CONNECTIONS
    NETWORK • DATA SHARED IS SAFE
    • ENTIRE NETWORK IS UNDER THE CONTROL OF SINGLE
    ORGANISATION
    • SPEED RANGE: 10-100 MBPS
    • WIRED AND WIRELESS CONNECTIONS SERVICES
    ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

    ADVANTAGES: DISADVANTAGES
    • RESOURCE SHARING AND SOFTWARE • HIGH SET UP COST
    APPLICATIONS SHARING • PRIVACY VIOLATIONS
    • EASY AND CHEAP COMMUNICATION • DATA SECURITY THREAT
    • DATA SECURITY • LAN ADMINISTRATION
    • CENTRALISED DATA • COVERS LIMITED AREA
    • INTERNET SHARING
    MAN :
    METROPOLITAN AREA • COLLECTION OF LANS’
    NETWORK • COVERS ENTIRE CITY
    • LAN < MAN < WAN
    • NOT UNDER THE CONTROL OF SINGLE
    ORGANISATION
    • HIGH ERROR RATE COMPARED TO LAN
    • CONNECTS SEVERAL LAN NETWORKS
    • CABLE TV NETWORKS
    ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF MAN

    ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
    • LESS EXPENSIVE • DIFFICULTY TO MANAGE
    • SENDING LOCAL E-MAILS • HACKERS THREAT
    • HIGH SPEED THAN WAN • NEED OF TECHNICAL STAFF TO SET UP
    WAN : WIDE AREA
    NETWORK
    • TRANSMISSION OF DATA OVER A WIDE AREA
    • COMBINATION OF MANS’
    • BIGGEST NETWORK
    • COVERS THE AREA OF WHOLE WORLD
    • EXAMPLE: BROADBAND
    ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF WAN

    ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
    • COVERS LARGE AREAS • HIGH SET UP COSTS
    • CENTRALISED DATA • HIGH SECURITY ISSUES
    • GET UPDATED FILES AND SOFTWARES • SLOW SPEED
    • LOT OF APPLICATIONS TO COMMUNICATE • SERVER DOWN AND DISCONNECTION
    WORLWIDE ISSUES
    • GLOBAL BUSINESS • TROUBLESHOOTING ISSUES
    • HIGH BANDWIDTH
    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LAN , MAN , WAN......
    Any queries
