Networking Overview and Types Explained

This document provides information about a group presentation on computer networks. The group includes 6 members with their roll numbers listed. The presentation topics are networking and computer networks. It then provides details on applications of networks, types of networks including LAN, MAN and WAN, and examples and advantages of each. LAN refers to local area networks within a small area like a building. MAN refers to networks across multiple buildings in a city. WAN refers to networks that span large geographical areas from hundreds of miles to globally.

Presentation Topic

Networking
Computer Networks

• Computer network connects two


or more autonomous computers.
• The computers can be
geographically located anywhere.
Applications of Networks

• Resource Sharing
• Hardware (computing resources, disks, printers)
• Software (application software)
• Information Sharing
• Easy accessibility from anywhere (files, databases) Search
Capability (WWW)
• Communication
• Email
• Message broadcast
Types of Networking
• LAN(local area network)
• WAN(Wide area network)
• MAN(Metropolitan area network)
• SAN(Storage area network)
• PAN(Personal area network)
• WLAN(Wireless local area network)
LAN, MAN & WAN

• Network in small geographical Area (Room,


Building or a Campus) is called LAN (Local Area
Network)
• Network in a City is call MAN (Metropolitan
Area Network)
• Network spread geographically (Country or
across Globe) is called WAN (Wide Area
Network)
LAN Local Area Networks

• Local Area Networks are


privately-owned networks
within a small area, usually a
single building or campus of up
to a few kilometers.
• Since it is restricted in size, that
means their data transmission
time can be known in advance,
and the network management
would be easier.
Example of LAN
• Network establish is school or organization.
•  Think of an office building where everybody
should be able to access files on a central
server or be able to print a document to one
or more central printers.
Advantages Of Local Area Networking
• Cost reductions through sharing of information
and databases, resources and network services.
• Increased information exchange between
different departments in an organization, or
between individuals.
• Improve the community security.
• Increasing number and variety of intelligent
data terminals, PCs and workstations.
MAN ( Metropolitan area networking )
• A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
is a network that is utilized across
multiple buildings
• Commonly used in school campuses
or large companies with multiple
buildings Is larger than a LAN, but
smaller than a WAN
• Is also used to mean the
interconnection of several LANs by
bridging them together. This sort of
network is also referred to as a
campus network
Examples of MAN
• Cable Networks.
• The MAN can be used to provide services
including telecoms, Internet access, television
and CCTV to businesses and citizens in these
metropolitan areas.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF MAN

• This means that resources (such as databases


and files) shared on the network can be
accessed extremely quickly.
• The cost is what inhibits the geographical
reach of MANs, which is also another
drawback.
WAN Wide Area Network

• The main difference


between a MAN and a
WAN is that the WAN uses
Long Distance Carriers.
Otherwise the same
protocols and equipment
are used as a MAN.
Wide Area Network
• A Wide Area Network is a network spanning a large
geographical area of around several hundred miles
to across the globe
• May be privately owned or leased
• Also called “enterprise networks” if they are
privately owned by a large company
• Can be connected through cable, fiber or satellite
• Is typically slower and less reliable than a LAN
• Services include internet, Intranet ,etc.
