1. What are the main architectural components of a LAN? (Minimum word count: 60) The first characteristic in the LAN architecture is the physical arrangement of the network. This is how the nodes connect. The topology of an LAN is the design pattern of interconnections between the computers and network sectors. The second component is the method of access for the nodes. Specifically‚ how the nodes connect to the transmission medium. A network interface card is a device that permits computers

The local area network (LAN) is home to sheer bandwidth and countless client server applications. Different companies have radically different networks; some have a single PC and others have hundreds of locations and thousands of computers. This page is intended to explain the basic principles and components frequently found on the LAN. The internal network is usually built with the highest bandwidth available. It is then connected to a tiny internet connection which is almost always a bottle neck

Wireless Network Plan Deployment Scenario The Infrastructure deployment scenario is recommended for Apex Designs’ Conference Center. Deployment Scenario Reasoning The Infrastructure deployment scenario will allow for wireless access points (WAPs) to be connected to the existing wired network allowing employees with wireless devices the ability to access the company’s network. This is a commonly used method of enhancing an existing wired network while adding the benefit of mobility to employees

Assignment Lesson 7 Review: LAN Standards‚ Wireless Networking and Name Resolution The purpose of this activity is to reinforce what you have learned so far about local area networks technologies. 1. Define fast Ethernet. (Minimum word count: 25) Fast Ethernet is a faster version of IEEE 802.3. It promotes the use of Ethernet at 100 Mbps using the same access method. It also can use Fast Ethernet cards that use data rates of both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps. 2. What type of cable can you use for

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

Science MASTER THESIS ADMINISTRATION OF REMOTE COMPUTER NETWORKS Stig Jarle Fjeldbo May 23‚ 2005 Abstract Today’s computer networks have gone from typically being a small local area network‚ to wide area networks‚ where users and servers are interconnected with each other from all over the world. This development has gradually expanded as bandwidth has become higher and cheaper. But when dealing with the network traffic‚ bandwidth is only one of the important properties. Delay

normal LAN vs. wireless LAN. Computer networks for the home and small business can be built using either wired or wireless technology. Wired Ethernet has been the traditional choice in homes‚ but Wi-Fi wireless technologies are gaining ground fast. Both wired and wireless can claim advantages over the other; both represent viable options for home and other local area networks (LANs). Below
