TYPES OF NETWORK LAN, WAN,PAN,MAN,CAN,SAN FULL GUIDE
Types for network
1. Local area network (LAN)
2. Personal area network (PAN)
3. Meteropolita area network (MAN)
4. Wide area network (WAN)
5. Campus area network (CAN)
6. Storage area network (SAN)
Full tutorial types of networks //
1. LOCAL AREA NETWORK
* A LAN is an network that is used for communication among computer devices usually within an office building or home.
*LAN enbal the sharing resources such as files or hardware devices that may be needs multiple users is limited in size typically spanning a few hundred metres and no more than a mile
* Is fast with speeds from 10 mbs to gbsp
* Requires little wiring typically a single cable cannecting to each device
* Has lower cost campared to Man or WANs
* Lans can be either wired or wireless twisted pair coax or fiber optic cable can used in wired Lans
ADVANTAGES OF LAN//
1. Speed
2. Cost
3. Security
4. Resources sharing
2. PERSONAL AREA NETWORK
* A PAN is an network that is used for communication among computer devices usually within an office building or home.
* PAN enbal the sharing resources such as files or hardware devices that may be needs multiple users is limited in size typically spanning a few hundred metres and no more than a mile
* Is fast with speeds from 10 mbs to gbsp
* Requires little wiring typically a single cable cannecting to each device
* Has lower cost campared to Man or WANs
* PAN can be either wired or wireless twisted pair coax or fiber optic cable can used in wired Lans
3. METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK
* A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a large cumputer that usually spams a city or a large compus
* A Man is optimized for a larger geographical area than a LAN rangigr from serveral blocks of buildings to enter citize
* A Man might be owned and operated by a single organizations but it usually will be used by indivoindiv and organizations
* A Man ofter acts as high speed netwok to allow sharing of regional resources
* A Man typically cavers an area of between and 50km diameters
* Example of man : telphotel company netwok that provides a high speed dsl to customers and cable tv netwok.
4. WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN)
* Wan cavers a large geographical area such as cuntry continent or even whale of the world.
* A Man is or more lans connected together the LANs can be many mils opart
* To cover grat distance WANs may transmit data cover leased high speed phone lines or wireless links such as satellites
* Multiple lans can be connected to gether using devices such as bridge routers or gate way which enable them to sahre data
* The words most popular WAN is the internet.
5. CAMPUS AREA NETWORK (CAN)
* A campus area network (can) is a netwok of multiple intercannected local area network (lan) is a limited geographical area a can is samller than a wide area network (wan) or metropolitan area network (MAN)
* A can is area know as corporate area network (can)
* Can benefits are of follow :
Cast effective
Wireless wesus cable
Muitidepartmental netwok access
6. STORAGE AREA NETWORK
* A storage area network (san) is a specialzed high speed netwok that provides block level netwok access to storage clemeCle and storage devices that are intercannected using a variety of technologies topologies and protocol
* This enabl each server to access shared storage if it were a drive directly attached to the server when a host wants to access storage device on the san it center out a block based request for the storage device..
