-Characteristics:-
1.Usually interconnected with a number of LANS
2.Lower bandwidth compared to LANS ,
The typical data rates for WAN are 56kbps to 155Mbps, 622Mbps, 2.4 Gbps or higher speed WAN.]]> 2016-10-24 06:04:43 UTC https://padlet.com/shyni123/Net131/wish/132606898 https://padlet.com/shyni123/Net131/wish/132606930 Disadvantages

• Purchasing the network cabling and file servers can be expensive.
• Managing a large network is complicated, requires training and a network manager usually needs to be employed.
• If the file server breaks down the files on the file server become inaccessible. Email might still work if it is on a separate server. The computers can still be used but are isolated.
• Viruses can spread to other computers throughout a computer network.
• There is a danger of hacking, particularly with wide area networks. Security procedures are needed to prevent such abuse, eg a firewall.

Characteristics of a LAN include:

•  Limited geographic operation 
• High speed data transfer rates 
• Full time connectivity to local services 
• Generally lower in cost than a WAN 
• Cabling is primary transmission medium

Computer networking allows accessibility for the people to share their files easily. This greatly helps the people in saving their time and effort since they could already share some of the important files they need to share with other people effectively and accordingly.


Provides Convenient Resource Sharing

This is another benefit that you may be acquiring if you are going to access computer networking. This is very important particularly for those larger companies who are greatly in need to produce huge number of resources to be shared to all the people.


Increase in Storage Capacity of the Software

Since you are going to share files and resources to other people, you need to make sure that all the data and files are properly stored in the system. With computer networking you are assured that all the files would be stored properly depending on your saved file.
