We all know about networks , There are two types of networks
1) Wired networks
2) Wireless networks
So in networks we have sub division again as
1) LAN
2) WAN
3) MAN
LAN:( Local Area Network)
Its the type of network which is limited in coverage area .
It will be covering area in terms of few meters .
example : It is used to cover the building , offices , school / colleges lab connections / hospitals etc
The speed of the network will be higher
LAN's generally consists of wired network with switches between them . It may also contain other networks such as load balancers , network intrusion detection and also firewalls .
Disadvantages :
1) Limited coverage area .
2) Limited number of elements are supported by this network
ex: In a star connected network we can connect a maximum of 40 computers .
WAN:(Wide Area Network)
Its a type of network which covers larger distance as compared to the LAN . It is used to connect LANs . Its speed will be less compared to LAN .
example: It is used to connect two places which are few kilometers apart .
The connection may be wired or it may be wireless depending on the requirements .
MAN:(Metropolitan Area Network )
Its a type of network which is used to connect the metropolitan cities . i e : its coverage area will be higher as compared to "WAN AND LAN "
Generally it prefers the wireless connectivity between its nodes ( computers ).
Advantages :
1) coverage area is higher .
2) possibility of error while data transfer is less .
Internet :
This is the network which can handel huge amount of traffic . Coverage area of this network is so high that it can cover whole world or it is used to establish the connection between two countries .
what is the range for internet
ReplyDeleteit's thousands of kilometers
DeleteCoz it connects two countries
Sir bahut accga hai
