    This document discusses the classification of computer networks. There are three major types: local area networks (LANs), which connect devices within a single building or campus; metropolitan area networks (MANs), which connect devices within a city or region; and wide area networks (WANs), which connect devices over large geographic areas like countries or continents. LANs use technologies like Ethernet and WiFi, while MANs and WANs transmit data over longer distances using fiber optics or wireless connections. The key difference between these network types is the maximum geographic area they cover.

    COMPUTER NETWORK

    The Network allows computers to connect and


    communicate with different computers via any
    medium. LAN, MAN, and WAN are the three
    major types of the network designed to operate
    over the area they cover.
    Differentiate among the 3 Computer network

    The main differentiation among


    these classifications is their area of
    coverage
    Computer network
    A computer network, also referred to as a data
    network, is a series of interconnected nodes
    that can transmit, receive and exchange data,
    voice and video traffic. Examples of nodes in
    a network include servers or modems.
    Computer networks commonly help endpoint
    users share resources and communicate.
    A Local Area Network (LAN) is a group
    of computers or other devices
    interconnected within a single, limited
    area, typically via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.

    Examples of Local Area Network (LAN)

    Networking in home, office. Networking in


    school, laboratory, university campus.
    Networking between two computers. Wi-Fi
    TYPES OF LAN:
    ETHERNET
    It is a network protocol that controls how data is transferred over a local area network. In
    this type of LAN, the user is able to transfer data at a rate of more than 10 megabits per
    second.

    TOKEN RING
    It is a type of local area network in which all devices are connected in a
    ring arrangement. A token is used to avoid collisions of data. It is of 3
    bytes and keeps on traveling in the ring of servers or workstations.

    Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)


    It is a LAN standard used for data transmission via optical media. Used for
    long-distance networks. Uses optical fiber and copper cable It is used in a
    large geographical scenario with thousands of end-users.
    PERSONAL AREA NETWORK (PAN)

    A personal area network is a network concerned


    with the exchange of information in the vicinity
    of a person. Typically, these systems are wireless
    and involve the transmission of data between
    devices such as smartphones, personal
    computers, tablet computers, etc.
    Home Area Network (HAN)

    is a network in a user's home where all the laptops,


    computers, smartphones, and other smart
    appliances and digital devices are connected into a
    network. This facilitates communication among the
    digital devices within a home which are connected
    to the Home network.
    A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

    is a computer network that is larger than


    a single building local area network
    (LAN) but is located in a single
    geographic area that is smaller than a
    wide area network (WAN). It may also
    refer to public use networking
    infrastructure in a municipality or
    region.
    A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

    EXAMPLE:
    New York City provides free Wi-Fi access to all residents as a large
    single MAN. It also connects traffic lights and parking meters
    wirelessly as a metropolitan area network. A telecommunications
    provider in London leases fiber connections. Many companies use
    these to interconnect, forming a large MAN.
    Wide Area Network (WAN)

    a computer network in which the computers


    connected may be far apart, generally having a
    radius of half a mile or more. WANs are often used
    by large businesses to connect their office networks;
    each office typically has its own local area network,
    or LAN, and these LANs connect via a WAN. The
    Internet itself is considered a WAN.
    Wide Area Network (WAN)

    EXAMPLE:

    A network of bank cash dispensers; A Company network


    with several branch offices geographically distant. A
    school network is usually a LAN. LANs are often
    connected to WANs, for example, a school network could
    be connected to the Internet.
    Comparison LAN, WAN, MAN

    A WAN will typically cover a larger


    area geographically, such as a
    continent, a state or a country. A LAN
    connects computers within a small and
    specific area geographically. A MAN is
    confined to a specific town, city or
    region. It covers a larger area than a
    LAN but a smaller area than a WAN.
