I have learnt:
Network, and its components
Types of network (LAN WAN SAN PAN MAN WLAN)
Network topologies
Network architectures

# data[].attributes.body
We have learnt the basics and in depth information about network, as the connections, WiFi. dial-up and fiber optics as well as learning the advantages and disadvantages of it all.

# data[].attributes.body
I have learnt a lot about the different parts of a network as well as how they connect together whether that be the bus or star or even ring typologies. These all have their own advantages and disadvantages and each support different purposes of the network.

During the course of this chapter i gained a deeper understanding of what a network is, its functions, how it works and the different configurations. This chapter also helpers me understand how the different types and components of networks function in our society. Namely - Hubs, switches, routers.

Peer to peer and client network

In peer to peer network, there is no central server which has any special authority, every server has the same status

In client network, the server relies heavily on

There are many different types of networks. Some of which are LAN (Local Area Networks) and WAN (Wide Area Network). A network allows people with machines called "clients" to connect to other clients or to a server. This allows people on a server to share resources and peripherals such as printers.

Network connections include Fibre optic cables
cable internet
dialup
ethernet
wiFi
bluetooth
3G + 4G. Each one has there own pros and cons which make them useful in their own way.

# data[].attributes.body
A network consists of two or more computers that are linked in order to share resources, exchange files, or allow electronic communications.

networks connection can be established cables(wires), radio signals(wireless), telephone networks etc.

Network Topology:
An arrangement of various elements of a network of computers.  Typical network structures use topological structures.
I have learned a lot about topologies.
I like topologies.
Topologies are very interesting

# data[].attributes.body
I have learned through out this course about the various network elements such as routers, hubs and switches. I also learned about various network topologies , and types of networks such as Local area network (LAN) Wan, SAN, PAN. WLAN, etc.

All three of these network peripherals perform similar tasks, but they operate differently and have different uses. They all connect multiple internet-capable devices to a single network.
Hubs:  the most basic and cheapest of these devices: when a hub receives data, it simply rebroadcasts it to every connected device, without screening the data and its intended address prior.
Switches:  smarter versions of hubs. They inspect the data they receive to determine the intended destination, and then forward it to only

the intended recipient.
Routers:  have a slightly different task: they connect two or

more separate networks. For example, a switch will connect

all the computers on a school network, while a router will connect the school network with another network, such as the Internet.

A network is a bunch of connected nodes. These nodes can be clients, servers, hubs, switches, etc.
There are many types of networks such as LAN, WAN, SAN, PAN, MAN, etc. SANs can be accessed using a VPN.
There are many types of network topologies: bus, ring, mesh, tree
