- 2. NETWORKING DEFINATION In information technology, networking is the construction, design, and use of a network, including the physical (cabling, hub, bridge, switch, router, and so forth), the selection and use of telecommunication protocol and computer software for using and managing the network, and the establishment of operation policies and procedures related to the network.
- 3. types of networking Common types of area networks are: LAN - Local Area Network WAN - Wide Area Network WLAN - Wireless Local Area Network MAN - Metropolitan Area Network SAN - Storage Area Network, System Area Network, Server Area Network, or sometimes Small Area Network CAN - Campus Area Network, Controller Area Network, or sometimes Cluster Area Network PAN - Personal Area Network
- 4. LAN: Local area network LAN: Local Area Network A 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.
- 5. Wan: wide area networking WAN: Wide Area Network As 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.
- 6. LAN,WAN AND HOME NETWORKING LAN, WAN and Home Networking Residences 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.

- 8. OTHER TYPE OF AREA NETWORKS Other Types of Area Networks While 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 technology
- 9. Metropolitan area network Metropolitan 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.
- 10. CAMPUS AREA NTWORKING Campus Area Network - A network spanning multiple LANs but smaller than a MAN, such as on a university or local business campus.
- 11. STORAGE AREA NETWORK Storage Area Network - Connects servers to data storage devices through a technology like Fibre Channel.
- 12. SYSTEM AREA NETWORK System Area Network (also known as Cluster Area Network) - Links high- performance computers with high-speed connections in a cluster configuration.
