Networking and Internet
Introduction
A computer network is a group of computers that are interconnected to share information and resources. The first networks were implemented by both IBM's SNA Systems Network Architecture) and Digital's network architecture. Internet is the biggest example of computer networking.

Different Types of Networks
Computer network is divided into three main categories:
LAN
LAN is commonly known as Local Area Network. It is used to connect the computers - --d 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 like printer or a 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. This network is limited to a relatively small area, such as a classroom, a school or a single building. This type of network has the lowest cost.
Advantages of LAN
v Ability to share hardware and software resources.
v All network users can save their data on hard disk of the server computer.
v Components and system evolution is possible.
v Support for heterogeneous forms of 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 Equipment and support can be costly.
v Some types of hardware may not interoperate.
v A good LAN is required to be on all the times.
v A lot of times a network shares one internet connection only. If many computers are running at once, it can reduce more...
