REPORTING
 LOCAL AND
NONLOCAL NETWORKS
A local computer network corresponds
to what is called LAN, which stands
for local area network.

• Developed in 1960s for use by

colleges, universities, etc.

• A LAN covers a relatively small

areas such as classroom, school,
or a single building.
 WANs, which stands for wide area
networks.A WAN covers a large
area,such as cities,an entire
country, or the entire world.

• A WAN actually interconnects

multiple LANs to cover a wide area.
The internet considered a the largest
WAN.
A MAN or metropolitan area
network is a computer network
that connects computer within a
metropolitan area, which could be
a single large city, multiple
cities and towns, or any given
large area with multiple
buildings.
 What about local
social networks? What
is the geographical
coverage?
A local government is good
representative of social network.

• A local government is usually

contrasted with a national government.
In our country, a local government is
the kind of government in operation on
the levels of barangay, municipality,
city, province, and region.

Ex. Specific websites that allow

users to create online identity;
The national government in contrast, is the
kind of government that manages the entire
country.

•A national social network covers the entire

country, but local social networks covers
all kinds of social networks below the level
of the national social network. This will
include all social networks on the levels of
home, neighborhood, barangay, community,
school, and city up to the levels of
provinces and regions.
 Once the geographical
coverage of a social
network goes beyond the
national level and
operates across many
countries, it become a
global social network.
