- 1. Assignment: Assignment name: classification of computer network Course tittle:computer network Course code: CSE 318 Submitted to: pranab Bandhu nath senior Lecturer, Department of CSE City university, Dhaka Submitted by Md parvez Id: 184902610 Bsc in cse(day) Batch :49th Computer Network Types A computer network is a group of computers linked to each other that enables the computer to communicate with another computer and share their resources, data, and applications. ADVERTISEMENT A computer network can be categorized by their size. A computer network is mainly of four types:
- 2. o LAN(Local Area Network) o PAN(Personal Area Network) o MAN(Metropolitan Area Network) o WAN(Wide Area Network) LAN(Local Area Network) o Local Area Network is a group of computers connected to each other in a small area such as building, office. o LAN is used for connecting two or more personal computers through a communication medium such as twisted pair, coaxial cable, etc. o It is less costly as it is built with inexpensive hardware such as hubs, network adapters, and ethernet cables. o The data is transferred at an extremely faster rate in Local Area Network. o Local Area Network provides higher security.
- 3. PAN(Personal Area Network) o Personal Area Network is a network arranged within an individual person, typically within a range of 10 meters. o Personal Area Network is used for connecting the computer devices of personal use is known as Personal Area Network. o Thomas Zimmerman was the first research scientist to bring the idea of the Personal Area Network. o Personal Area Network covers an area of 30 feet. o Personal computer devices that are used to develop the personal area network are the laptop, mobile phones, media player and play stations.
- 4. MAN(Metropolitan Area Network) o A metropolitan area network is a network that covers a larger geographic area by interconnecting a different LAN to form a larger network. o Government agencies use MAN to connect to the citizens and private industries. o In MAN, various LANs are connected to each other through a telephone exchange line. o The most widely used protocols in MAN are RS-232, Frame Relay, ATM, ISDN, OC-3, ADSL, etc. o It has a higher range than Local Area Network(LAN).

WAN(Wide Area Network) o A Wide Area Network is a network that extends over a large geographical area such as states or countries. o A Wide Area Network is quite bigger network than the LAN. o A Wide Area Network is not limited to a single location, but it spans over a large geographical area through a telephone line, fibre optic cable or satellite links. o The internet is one of the biggest WAN in the world.
- 7. o A Wide Area Network is widely used in the field of Business, government, and education. WAN(Wide Area Network) o A Wide Area Network is a network that extends over a large geographical area such as states or countries. o A Wide Area Network is quite bigger network than the LAN.
