Basic Types of Network

1.Local Area Network (LAN)


2.Personal Area Network (PAN)
3.Metropolitan Area Network
(MAN)
4.Wide Area Network (WAN)
5.Campus Area Network (CAN)
6.Storage Area Network (SAN)
Local Area Network (LAN)

 A LAN is a network that is used for communicating


among computer devices, usually within an office
building or home.
 LAN’s enable the sharing of resources such as
files or hardware devices that may be needed
by multiple users • • Is limited in size, typically
spanning a few hundred meters, and no more
than a mile
 Is fast, with speeds from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps
 Requires little wiring, typically a single cable
connecting to each device
 Has lower cost compared to MAN’s or WAN’s
 LAN’s can be either wired or wireless. Twisted pair,
coax or fibre optic cable can be used in wired
Advantages of LAN

 Speed
 Cost
 Security
 Resource Sharing
Local Area Network (PAN)

 A PAN is a network that is used for


communicating among computer devices,
usually home.
 PAN’s enable the sharing of resources such as
files or hardware devices that may be needed
by multiple users • • Is limited in size,
typically spanning a few hundred meters
 Is fast, with speeds from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps
 Requires little wiring, typically a single cable
connecting to each device
 Has lower cost compared to MAN’s or WAN’s
 LAN’s can be either wired or wireless. Twisted pair,
coax or fibre optic cable can be used in wired
LAN’s.
Advantages of PAN

 Speed
 Cost
 Security
 Resource Sharing
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
 A metropolitan area network (MAN) is a large computer network
that usually spans a city or a large campus.
 A MAN is optimized for a larger geographical area than a LAN,
ranging
from several blocks of buildings to entire cities.
 A MAN might be owned and operated by a single organization, but
it usually will be used by many individuals and organizations.
 A MAN often acts as a high speed network to allow sharing of
regional
resources.
 A MAN typically covers an area of between 5 and 50 km diameter.
 Examples of MAN: Telephone company network that provides a
high
speed DSL to customers and cable TV network.
Advantages of MAN

 Speed
 Cost
 Security
 Resource Sharing
Wide Area Network (WAN)

 WAN covers a large geographic area such as country, continent or


even whole of the world.
 A WAN is two or more LANs connected together. The LANs can
be many miles apart.
 To cover great distances, WANs may transmit data over leased
high-speed phone lines or wireless links such as satellites.
 Multiple LANs can be connected together using devices such as
bridges, routers, or gateways, which enable them to share data.
 The world's most popular WAN is the Internet.
Advantages of WAN

 Speed
 Cost
 Security
 Resource Sharing
Campus Area Network (CAN)
 A campus area network (CAN) is a network of
multiple interconnected local area networks (LAN) in
a limited geographical area. A CAN is smaller than a
wide area network (WAN) or metropolitan area
network (MAN).
 A CAN is also known as a corporate area network
(CAN).
 CAN benefits are as follows:
Cost-effective
Wireless, versus cable
Multidepartmental network access
Advantages of CAN

 Speed
 Reliability
 Campus Interconnection
 Better for Every Consumer
Storage Area Network (SAN)

 A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a specialized, high-speed


network that provides block-level network access to
storage. SANs are typically composed of hosts, switches,
storage elements, and storage devices that are
interconnected using a variety of technologies, topologies,
and protocols.

 This enables each server to access shared storage as if it


were a drive directly attached to the server. When a host
wants to access a storage device on the SAN, it sends out a
block-based access request for the storage device.
Advantages of SAN

 Low Expense
 fault tolerance
 Disk Mirroring
 Real Time Update
 Aminstrator Control
