7. How do local area networks (LANs) differ from metropolitan area network (MAN)? A local area network (LAN) is a group of microcomputers located in the same general area. It covers a clearly defined small area‚ such as an office‚ home network ‚one floor or work area‚ a single building‚ or a group of buildings. While a metropolitan area network (MAN) connects LANs and BNs located in different areas to each other and to WANs. MANs typically span between three and 30 miles. For example a large university

LAN/WAN Topology and Configuration Plan Introduction This document presents an overview of the different configuration challenges‚ methods‚ and techniques required to implement a Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN). These are useful technologies that securely connect multiple LANs in separate geographical locations. When properly configured these networking technologies provide robust features‚ increased data transfer speeds‚ and secure data connectivity required by today’s companies

INTRODUCTION: A local area network (LAN) is a network of computers that interconnects computers in a limited or a small area such as a home‚ computer lab‚ school‚ or office building using the network media. The defining characteristics of LANs‚ is in contrast to the wide area networks (WANs)‚ including their higher data-transfer rates‚ smaller geographic area‚ and lack of a need for leased telecommunication lines. ARCNET‚ Token Ring and other technology standards have been used in the past‚ but

ENHANCEMENT OF QOS OF VOIP IN HETEROGENEOUS NETWORKS B.Balavenkatesh Abstract— The increasing demand for broadband services is causing the cellular network providers to consider for the integration of Wireless LAN with GPRS. WLAN is having higher data rate but low coverage area but GPRS is having lower data rate but with high coverage area. So integrating these two heterogeneous networks will lead to utilization of advantages of both and can increase the system throughput. The handoff latency

Throughout your career you will get a chance to troubleshoot as well as configure protocols pertaining to Email and VoIP data. Both email and VoIP are important to a company without the two‚ a company will have a hard time communicating as well as have a hard time competing in today’s business world. Throughout

A wide area network (WAN) is a geographically dispersed telecommunications network. The term distinguishes a broader telecommunication structure from a local area network. A wide area network may be privately owned or rented‚ but the term usually connotes the inclusion of public (shared user) networks. A Local Area Network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated devices that share a common communications line and typically share the resources of a single processor or server within a small

The purpose of a DMZ is to add an additional layer of security to an organization’s local area network. An external attacker only has direct access to equipment in the DMZ‚ rather than any other part of the network. 2. How many zones does your design incorporate? Do you think an additional zone

The WAN A natural extension of the LAN is the wide area network (WAN). A WAN connects remote LANs and ties remote computers together over long distances. The WAN provides the same functionality as the individual LAN‚ but on a larger scale - electronic mail‚ applications‚ and files can now move throughout the organization-wide internet. WANs are‚ by default‚ heterogeneous networks that consist of a variety of computers‚ operating systems‚ topologies‚ and protocols. The most popular internetworking
