1.0 Introduction
1.1 Overview Local area network is a computer network that spans a relatively small area. Most local area networks are confined to a single building or group of building. A group of computers interconnected in local area network so that they are able to communicate, exchange information and share resources. It means the multiple users can use the same computer resources in the network, regardless of the physical location of the resources. Users can also use the local area network to communicate with each other, by sending email or engaging in chat session. Devices on one local area network can often transmit to the outside world if the local area network is connected to telecommunications link to the internet or corporate network or to another local area network across the country.
Each computer in a local area network can effectively send
