An example of a network in a school comprising of a local area network or LAN connecting computers with each other.

Different Types of Networks The network is divided into 3 main categories:

LAN A LAN is used to connect the computers and other network devices so that the devices can communicate with each other to share the resources. The resources to be shared can be a hardware device like printer, software like an application program or data. The size of LAN is usually small. The various devices in LAN are connected to central devices called Hub or switch using a cable. If the network is contained with a relatively small area, such as a classroom, school, or single, building as shown in the figure, it is commonly referred to as a local area network (LAN). This type of network has the lowest cost. Advantages of LAN v Ability to share hardware and software resources. v Individual workstation might survive network failure. v Components and system evolution are possible. v Support for heterogeneous forms hardware and software. v Access to other LAN's and WAN's. v Private ownership. v Secure transfers at high speeds with low error rates. Disadvantages of LAN v more...
