         <title>by Bradley MitchellUpdated April 07, 2017One way to categorize the different types of computer network designs is by their scope or scale. For historical reasons, the networking industry refers to nearly every type of design as some kind of area network. Common types of area networks are:LAN - Local Area NetworkWAN - Wide Area NetworkWLAN - Wireless Local Area NetworkMAN - Metropolitan Area NetworkSAN - Storage Area Network, System Area Network, Server Area Network, or sometimes Small Area NetworkCAN - Campus Area Network, Controller Area Network, or sometimes Cluster Area NetworkPAN - Personal Area NetworkLAN and WAN are the two primary and best-known categories of area networks, while the others have emerged with technology advancesNote that network types differ from network topologies (such as bus, ring and star). (See also - Introduction to Network Topologies.)LAN: Local Area NetworkA LAN connects network devices over a relatively short distance. A networked office building, school, or home usually contains a single LAN, though sometimes one building will contain a few small LANs (perhaps one per room), and occasionally a LAN will span a group of nearby buildings. In TCP/IP networking, a LAN is often but not always implemented as a single IP subnet.In addition to operating in a limited space, LANs are also typically owned, controlled, and managed by a single person or organization.They also tend to use certain connectivity technologies, primarily Ethernet and Token Ring.WAN: Wide Area NetworkAs the term implies, a WAN spans a large physical distance. The Internet is the largest WAN, spanning the Earth.A WAN is a geographically-dispersed collection of LANs. A network device called a router connects LANs to a WAN.In IP networking, the router maintains both a LAN address and a WAN address.A WAN differs from a LAN in several important ways. Most WANs (like the Internet) are not owned by any one organization but rather exist under collective or distributed ownership and management. WANs tend to use technology like ATM, Frame Relay and X.25 for connectivity over the longer distances.LAN, WAN and Home NetworkingResidences typically employ one LAN and connect to the Internet WAN via an Internet Service Provider (ISP) using a broadband modem. The ISP provides a WAN IP address to the modem, and all of the computers on the home network use LAN (so-called private) IP addresses. All computers on the home LAN can communicate directly with each other but must go through a central network gateway, typically a broadband router, to reach the ISP.Other Types of Area NetworksWhile LAN and WAN are by far the most popular network types mentioned, you may also commonly see references to these others:Wireless Local Area Network - A LAN based on Wi-Fi wireless network technologyMetropolitan Area Network - A network spanning a physical area larger than a LAN but smaller than a WAN, such as a city. A MAN is typically owned and operated by a single entity such as a government body or large corporation.Campus Area Network - A network spanning multiple LANs but smaller than a MAN, such as on a university or local business campus.Storage Area Network - Connects servers to data storage devices through a technology like Fibre Channel.System Area Network (also known as Cluster Area Network) - Links high-performance computers with high-speed connections in a cluster configuration.Businessman at desk working on computerWhat&#39;s a LAN (Local Area Network)?couple sitting on patio of homeEverything you need to know about computer networking from the startWoman in kitchen using laptopA WAN Is a Wide Area Network.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>A network consists of two or more computers that are linked in order to share resources (such as printers and CDs), exchange files, or allow electronic communications. The computers on a network may be linked through cables, telephone lines, radio waves, satellites, or infrared light beams.</div><div>Two very common types of networks include:</div><ul><li><a href="https://fcit.usf.edu/network/chap1/chap1.htm#LocalAreaNetwork">Local Area Network (LAN)</a></li><li><a href="https://fcit.usf.edu/network/chap1/chap1.htm#WideAreaNetwork">Wide Area Network (WAN)</a></li></ul><div>You may also see references to a Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN), a Wireless LAN (WLAN), or a Wireless WAN (WWAN).</div><div>Local Area Network</div><div>A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network that is confined to a relatively small area. It is generally limited to a geographic area such as a writing lab, school, or building.</div><div>Computers connected to a network are broadly categorized as servers or workstations. Servers are generally not used by humans directly, but rather run continuously to provide "services" to the other computers (and their human users) on the network. Services provided can include printing and faxing, software hosting, file storage and sharing, messaging, data storage and retrieval, complete access control (security) for the network's resources, and many others.</div><div>Workstations are called such because they typically do have a human user which interacts with the network through them. Workstations were traditionally considered a desktop, consisting of a computer, keyboard, display, and mouse, or a laptop, with with integrated keyboard, display, and touchpad. With the advent of the tablet computer, and the touch screen devices such as iPad and iPhone, our definition of workstation is quickly evolving to include those devices, because of their ability to interact with the network and utilize network services.</div><div>Servers tend to be more powerful than workstations, although configurations are guided by needs. For example, a group of servers might be located in a secure area, away from humans, and only accessed through the network. In such cases, it would be common for the servers to operate without a dedicated display or keyboard. However, the size and speed of the server's processor(s), hard drive, and main memory might add dramatically to the cost of the system. On the other hand, a workstation might not need as much storage or working memory, but might require an expensive display to accommodate the needs of its user. Every computer on a network should be appropriately configured for its use.</div><div>On a single LAN, computers and servers may be connected by cables or wirelessly. Wireless access to a wired network is made possible by wireless access points (WAPs). These WAP devices provide a bridge between computers and networks. A typical WAP might have the theoretical capacity to connect hundreds or even thousands of wireless users to a network, although practical capacity might be far less.</div><div>Nearly always servers will be connected by cables to the network, because the cable connections remain the fastest. Workstations which are stationary (desktops) are also usually connected by a cable to the network, although the cost of wireless adapters has dropped to the point that, when installing workstations in an existing facility with inadequate wiring, it can be easier and less expensive to use wireless for a desktop.</div><div>See the <a href="https://fcit.usf.edu/network/chap5/chap5.htm">Topology</a>, <a href="https://fcit.usf.edu/network/chap4/chap4.htm">Cabling</a>, and <a href="https://fcit.usf.edu/network/chap3/chap3.htm">Hardware</a> sections of this tutorial for more information on the configuration of a LAN.</div><div>Wide Area Network</div><div>Wide Area Networks (WANs) connect networks in larger geographic areas, such as Florida, the United States, or the world. Dedicated transoceanic cabling or satellite uplinks may be used to connect this type of global network.</div><div>Using a WAN, schools in Florida can communicate with places like Tokyo in a matter of seconds, without paying enormous phone bills. Two users a half-world apart with workstations equipped with microphones and a webcams might teleconference in real time. A WAN is complicated. It uses multiplexers, bridges, and routers to connect local and metropolitan networks to global communications networks like the Internet. To users, however, a WAN will not appear to be much different than a LAN.</div><div>Advantages of Installing a School Network</div><div>User access control.</div><div>Modern networks almost always have one or more servers which allows centralized management for users and for network resources to which they have access. User credentials on a privately-owned and operated network may be as simple as a user name and password, but with ever-increasing attention to computing security issues, these servers are critical to ensuring that sensitive information is only available to authorized users.</div><div>Information storing and sharing.</div><div>Computers allow users to create and manipulate information. Information takes on a life of its own on a network. The network provides both a place to store the information and mechanisms to share that information with other network users.</div><div>Connections.</div><div>Administrators, instructors, and even students and guests can be connected using the campus network.</div><div>Services.</div><div>The school can provide services, such as registration, school directories, course schedules, access to research, and email accounts, and many others. (Remember, network services are generally provided by servers).</div><div>Internet.</div><div>The school can provide network users with access to the internet, via an internet gateway.</div><div>Computing resources.</div><div>The school can provide access to special purpose computing devices which individual users would not normally own. For example, a school network might have high-speed high quality printers strategically located around a campus for instructor or student use.</div><div>Flexible Access.</div><div>School networks allow students to access their information from connected devices throughout the school. Students can begin an assignment in their classroom, save part of it on a public access area of the network, then go to the media center after school to finish their work. Students can also work cooperatively through the network.</div><div>Workgroup Computing.</div><div>Collaborative software allows many users to work on a document or project concurrently. For example, educators located at various schools within a county could simultaneously contribute their ideas about new curriculum standards to the same document, spreadsheets, or website.</div><h1>Disadvantages of Installing a School Network</h1><div>Expensive to Install.</div><div>Large campus networks can carry hefty price tags. Cabling, network cards, routers, bridges, firewalls, wireless access points, and software can get expensive, and the installation would certainly require the services of technicians. But, with the ease of setup of home networks, a simple network with internet access can be setup for a small campus in an afternoon.</div><div>Requires Administrative Time.</div><div>Proper maintenance of a network requires considerable time and expertise. Many schools have installed a network, only to find that they did not budget for the necessary administrative support.</div><div>Servers Fail.</div><div>Although a network server is no more susceptible to failure than any other computer, when the files server "goes down" the entire network may come to a halt. Good network design practices say that critical network services (provided by servers) should be redundant on the network whenever possible.</div><div>Cables May Break.</div><div>The Topology chapter presents information about the various configurations of cables. Some of the configurations are designed to minimize the inconvenience of a broken cable; with other configurations, one broken cable can stop the entire network.</div><div>Security and compliance.</div><div>Network security is expensive. It is also very important. A school network would possibly be subject to more stringent security requirements than a similarly-sized corporate network, because of its likelihood of storing personal and confidential information of network users, the danger of which can be compounded if any network users are minors. A great deal of attention must be paid to network services to ensure all network content is appropriate for the network community it serves.</div><ul><li><a href="https://fcit.usf.edu/network/default.htm">Table of Contents</a>&nbsp;</li></ul><div><br>&nbsp;</div><div><br>One way to categorize the different types of computer network designs is by their scope or scale.

         <title>One way to categorize the different types of computer network designs is by their scope or scale. For historical reasons, the networking industry refers to nearly every type of design as some kind of area network. Common types of area networks are:LAN - Local Area Network WAN - Wide Area NetworkWLAN - Wireless Local Area Network MAN - Metropolitan Area NetworkSAN - Storage Area Network, System Area Network, Server Area Network, or sometimes Small Area NetworkAdvertisement  CAN - Campus Area Network, Controller Area Network, or sometimes Cluster Area NetworkPAN - Personal Area NetworkLAN and WAN are the two primary and best-known categories of area networks, while the others have emerged with technology advancesNote that network types differ from network topologies (such as bus, ring and star). (See also - Introduction to Network Topologies.)LAN: Local Area NetworkA LAN connects network devices over a relatively short distance. A networked office building, school, or home usually contains a single LAN, though sometimes one building will contain a few small LANs (perhaps one per room), and occasionally a LAN will span a group of nearby buildings. In TCP/IP networking, a LAN is often but not always implemented as a single IP subnet.In addition to operating in a limited space, LANs are also typically owned, controlled, and managed by a single person or organization. They also tend to use certain connectivity technologies, primarily Ethernet and Token Ring.WAN: Wide Area NetworkAs the term implies, a WAN spans a large physical distance. The Internet is the largest WAN, spanning the Earth.A WAN is a geographically-dispersed collection of LANs. A network device called a router connects LANs to a WAN.Advertisement  In IP networking, the router maintains both a LAN address and a WAN address.A WAN differs from a LAN in several important ways. Most WANs (like the Internet) are not owned by any one organization but rather exist under collective or distributed ownership and management. WANs tend to use technology like ATM, Frame Relay and X.25 for connectivity over the longer distances.LAN, WAN and Home NetworkingResidences typically employ one LAN and connect to the Internet WAN via an Internet Service Provider (ISP) using a broadband modem. The ISP provides a WAN IP address to the modem, and all of the computers on the home network use LAN (so-called private) IP addresses. All computers on the home LAN can communicate directly with each other but must go through a central network gateway, typically a broadband router, to reach the ISP.Other Types of Area NetworksWhile LAN and WAN are by far the most popular network types mentioned, you may also commonly see references to these others:Wireless Local Area Network - A LAN based on Wi-Fi wireless network technologyMetropolitan Area Network - A network spanning a physical area larger than a LAN but smaller than a WAN, such as a city. A MAN is typically owned and operated by a single entity such as a government body or large corporation.Advertisement  Campus Area Network - A network spanning multiple LANs but smaller than a MAN, such as on a university or local business campus.Storage Area Network - Connects servers to data storage devices through a technology like Fibre Channel.System Area Network (also known as Cluster Area Network) - Links high-performance computers with high-speed connections in a cluster configuration.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp;</div><h1>Two Types of Networks: LANs and WANs</h1><div>Posted on February 8, 2012 by <a href="http://blog.router-switch.com/author/betsyyu/">Yejian Technologies</a> |</div><div><strong>Networks </strong>are divided into two types, a <strong>LAN</strong> (<strong>Local Area Network</strong>) or a <strong>WAN</strong> (<strong>Wide Area Network</strong>), which are generic terms referring to two important basic types of networks.<br><br></div><div>The Internet can be thought of as a bunch of LANs interconnected by WANs. An average packet will run across a company’s local Ethernet (LAN), up an ISDN or leased line or PPP link (WAN) to an Internet Service Provider. The ISP has Ethernet too (LAN) that transports the packet to the right router for delivery to a cross-country provider (WAN). The packet begins bouncing from one LAN site to another over WAN links.&nbsp;<br><br></div>]]></description>
