Types of networks:
There are several ways to classify networks. One of the best ways to classify network is to consider the geographic scope of the network.
Types of network based on the geographic scope of the network are listed below:
- Local Area Network (LAN)
- A LAN is a set of computer machines placed in the same common area. A LAN can cover a small area such as a single building, a work area, or a group of buildings.
- Backbone Network (BN)
- A BN is a large central network connecting many local area networks. Typically backbone networks extent from hundreds of feet to several miles and offer high speed data transmission.
- Wireless Area Network (WAN)
- A WAN connects many backbone networks. They typically range from hundreds to thousands of miles and offer high speed data transmission that range from 64-Kbps to 10-Gbps.
