1. Introduction to Computer Network 1

3. Types of Network 6
Computer Network
A computer network is a set of computers sharing resources located on or
provided by network nodes. The computers use common communication
protocols over digital interconnections to communicate with each other.
These interconnections are made up of telecommunication
network technologies, based on physically wired, optical, and wireless
radio-frequency methods that may be arranged in a variety of network
topologies.
 Advantage
-It enhances communication and availability of information.
-It allows for more convenient resource sharing.
-It is highly flexible.
-It is an inexpensive system.
-It makes file sharing easier.
 Disadvantage
-It poses security difficulties.
-It allows for more presence of computer viruses and malware.
-Its light policing usage promotes negative acts.
-It requires an expensive set-up.
-Health issues
 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.
 Advantage
-Easy and Cheap Communication
-Data Security
-Very high speed
-Data transfer rate is higher
-Does not cost too much
 Disadvantage
-A virus can be spread more easily
-Level of maintenance continues to grow
-a constant need for an upgrade
-It covers a small geographical area
-A data is shared there is a greater need for security-based
 MAN
A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a computer network that
interconnects users with computer resources in a geographic region of the
size of a metropolitan area. The term MAN is applied to the
interconnection of local area networks (LANs) in a city into a single
larger network which may then also offer efficient connection to a wide
area network.
 Advantage
-It provides higher security compare to WAN.
-It is wider than LAN
-Easy to implement link
-Increases the efficiency of handling data
-It provides higher security compare to WAN
 Disadvantage
-The data rate is slow compared to LAN
-The large network difficult to manage
-The large network difficult to manage
-While we move our network to another city or area it doesn't work
-More cable require for a MAN connection from one place to another
 WAN
A wide area network (also known as WAN), is a large network of
information that is not tied to a single location. WANs can facilitate
communication, the sharing of information and much more between
devices from around the world through a WAN provider.
 Advantage
-Large network cover
-Easy of communication
-Boost your privacy
-Large network cover
-Share information over the large area
 Disadvantage
-It is slow in speed
-Security problem
-WAN is not secure means not reliable
-Maintenance problem
-WAN is a big and complex problem
