Assalam-o-Alaikum!
Greeting to my all Steemit members. I hope that you all are fine and enjoying a great life. Today I am goint to share my Informative post with all of you. That is "COMPUTER NETWORKS"
So Let's Start!
Computer networking is an engineering discipline that aims to study and analyze the communication process between different computing devices or computer systems that work together to exchange information and resources.
Types of Computer networks:
The two main types of networks are :
1.Local Area Networks (LAN)
2. Wide Area Networks (WANs)
- Local Area Network (LAN)
Local Area Network (LAN) is a computer network, limited to a small office, a single building, multiple buildings on campus, and so on. Generally, the Local Area Network (LAN) is a private network that is managed and maintained by a single organization.
LANs connect computers and peripheral devices to communications (wires, Ethernet cables, fiber optics, Wi-Fi) in a limited physical area, such as a business office, laboratory, or college campus, that transmit data faster.
Wide Area Network (WAN)
A wide area network (WAN) spans multiple geographical locations, made up of multiple LANs. For a small to medium-sized organization (except network service providers), it is almost impossible to pull the network cable between your two offices in two different countries, which are kilometers apart. Network service providers (also called ISPs) provide connectivity solutions for wide area networks (WANs).
| LAN which means local area network | WAN, which means wide area network |
|---|---|
| LANs are for smaller, more local networking | WANs cover cities like big cities |
| connect computers from different countries Allow to LANs are generally faster and more secure than WAN | WANs enable wider connectivity. |
Have a vision in life. Have a mission in life.Always keep smiling. Thanks a lot.
