In general, a computer network is divided into five types, namely;
1. Local Area Network (LAN)
Local Area Network (LAN), a privately owned networks within a building or campus-sized to several kilometers. LANs are often used to connect personal computers and workstations in a
corporate office or factories to use shared resources (such as
printers) and exchange information.
2. Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), basically a LAN version is larger and typically use the same technology to the LAN. MAN
can include corporate offices are located adjacent or also a city and
can be used for private purposes (private) or the public. MAN is able to support data and voice, can even be associated with the cable television network.
3. Wide Area Network (WAN)
Wide Area Network (WAN), the range covers a wide geographical area, often covering a country or even continent. WAN consists of a collection of machines intended for running programs (applications) user.
4. Internet
Actually there are many world networks, often using hardware and software that is different. People who are connected to the network often expect to be able to communicate with others who are connected to other networks. The desire like this requires a relationship between networks that are often not kampatibel and different. Usually
to do this required a machine called a gateway to engage in and carry
out the necessary translation, both hardware and software. This is a collection of interconnected networks called the Internet.
5. Network Without Cables
Cable network without a solution to the communications that can not be done with a wired network. For
example, people who want to get information or to communicate despite
being located above the car or plane, it is absolutely necessary because
the cable network without a cable connection may not be made in a car
or plane. Currently
the wireless network has been rapidly adopted by utilizing satellite
services and is able to provide faster access speed compared to wired
network.
