    A Local Area Network (LAN) operates within a limited geographical location and provides permanent high-bandwidth connectivity like within an office, mall, school or university campus. A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) spans a larger area like a city and provides either part-time or full-time connectivity. A Wide Area Network (WAN) operates over an even larger area like between cities, states, countries or continents and provides part-time or full connectivity, with the Internet being a common example. Common network topologies include bus, ring, mesh, star and extended star configurations.

    Local Area Network(LAN)

    •It is a network operate within limited geographical


    location with permanent connectivity and high
    bandwidth.
    •Office, Shopping Mall, School, College,University
    campus.
    Metropolitan Area Network
    (MAN)

    •It is a network spans within a city. It


    provides part time or full time
    connectivity.
    Wide Area Network(WAN)

    •This network operates on large area network.


    •It provides part time andfulltime connectivity.
    •City-city,state-state,country-country ,continent-continent.
    •Internet is the best example of WAN.
    Topologies
    Bus or Serial topology
    •Connections through co-axial cable, T-
    Connectors,NIC cards with bnc connectors.
    •If Connections(link) between any two computer
    fails whole network is not accessable.
    Ring Topology
    Mesh Topology
    Star Topology
    A star topology connects all cables to a central point of
    concentration.  

    8
    Extended Star Topology
    An extended star topology links individual stars together by
    connecting the hubs and/or switches.This topology can
    extend the scope and coverage of the network.
