Computer network or data communication network is a group of stations (computer) or nodes that allows exchange data through media with rules and regulation (protocols).
Today world is known as computer world because of every sector or work have done on computer making faster and faster. Computer networking making each and every task easy, fast.
Computer network is invention of humans best of best technology in data communication. All worlds distance has become small to each other within few seconds on one click.
Following are the Types of Computer Networking System:
LAN is known as Local Area Network which is known as Private network and computes interconnect in a limited area such as institute, school, office, organization, corporate, within one building.For communication in LAN use TCP/IP protocol. Within LAN we can design topology (Mapping) which is Bus topology, Star topology, Ring topology, Mesh topology.
WAN is known as Wide Area Network. WAN is a network that covers a broad area i.e., any telecommunications network that links across metropolitan, regional or geographical area. A WAN often contains multiple local area networks (LANs) and/or metropolitan area networks.The world's most popular WAN is the Internet.Wan technologies generally function at the lower three layers of the OSI reference model. WAN technologies are FreamRealy, ATM technologies.
MAN is a metropolitan area networking which two or more computers or communicating devices or networks which are geographically separated but in same metropolitan city and is connected to each other. MAN is a larger geographical area than a LAN. Scope of MAN falls between a WAN and LAN. Some technologies used ATM, FDDI, and SMDI. MAN links between network without cables using microwave, radio, or infra-red laser links.
For transferring Data within networking us need media which are known as guided (physical cabling) and unguided media (air media). We can call as wired technology and wireless technology. In wired technology we use cables, twisted cable, Fiber optical cable which is flows electric signals. In wireless media we use Air and radio,Infra-red signals for transmission of data.
