    security issues that are associated with local area networks or LANs. LANs must be connected physically to switches which means that each LAN must have its own switch (prtl.uhcl.edu, 2016, para. 13). The virtualized version of the LANs, virtual local area networks (VLANs), allows users to invest in only one switch (prtl.uhcl.edu, 2016, para. 13). The VLAN is used in a virtual data center environment to separate a single LAN into more than one network while being physically connected to only one

    finding a terminal to check e-mail.. A Human Area Network (HAN), also referred to as a wireless human area network (WHAN) or a body sensor network (BSN), is a wireless network of wearable computing devices. In particular, the wireless network comprises of several miniaturized Body Sensor Units (BSUs) together with a single Body Central Unit (BCU). The development of WHAN technology started around 1995 around the idea of using wireless personal area network (WPAN) technologies to implement communications

    A controller area network (CAN) is a specialized internal communications network that interconnects components inside a vehicle (e.g. automobile, bus, train, industrial or agricultural vehicle, ship, or aircraft), designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other in applications without a host computer (G. Stoeger et al, 2003). It is a message-based embedded application which was, initially designed for automotive applications, but is also used in many other applications

    local area network (LAN) is a computer network that connects computers in an area with limited space such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building, using network media. A Wide Area Network, or WAN, is made up of many computer networks connected together, often over the Internet. In most cases, the networks in WANs all belong to the same company or school. A Metropolitan area network, or MAN for short, is a computer network that connects multiple other Local area networks (LANs)

    Body area network (BAN) has been widely researched for last few decades in variety filed from a military use to a personal healthcare system. Moreover, the development of modern network and integrated circuit (IC), and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology provide easy accessibility for the public, and opens new application regime, such as Internet of things (IoT). It seems like a simple combination of these modern technologies, but it is required for deep understanding of hardware, software

    maintain a larger network which had a probability of growing day by day. So the need for a vlan came into being where a large area network across the globe could be done at a lot more feasible price and the ever changing network can be easily maintained. 1.1 History of VLAN The history of VLAN is very significant because the incentive to invent the technology governed the features built into the implementations. Increases in the number of hosts on the local area network and network applications have

    Abstract: The main objective of this document is to create and analyze the requirement for home area network security. Security set up balance is always required against the risk being moderated. As HAN is related to the households there is a little interest paid to the home area network security. Earlier the threats for the HAN were other malicious programs and viruses. Now in this modern world with the invention of wireless networking, broadband and convergence of various communication technologies

    Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) are a boon to today’s society. The WBANs find their use in wide variety of fields starting from medical to sports to military. However the main concern for WBANs is their energy efficiency that in turn illustrates the network longevity. Many different algorithms have been employed for this purpose. In this paper we are going to enhance the energy efficiency of our WBAN network by using Neural Network (NN) along with the Genetic algorithm (GA). The neural network will provide
