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

History of LANs Data Communications began in the 1960s with an emphasis on communication over long distances — at least between different cities and often over much greater distances — but at relatively slow data transfer rates. At that time‚ that was what was needed. Most computing was done in batch mode‚ and companies needed an efficient way to transmit data processing files between computer sites. In the 1970s‚ interactive terminals began to proliferate‚ but most data communications took place

UMUC Frederick MD Network Proposal The network IP addressing scheme for the Frederick MD building should be designed to ease network management. A well thought out network subnet design enables administrators to quickly locate computers by IP address by building floor and room‚ and whether the computer is a server‚ a student computer‚ staff computer or instructor’s computer. A proper subnet design will also minimize broadcast traffic that decreases network performance‚ by reducing
