INTRODUCTION TO NETWORK TYPES Research Paper #1 Prepared for Professor Jewett Prepared by Anissa Truitt COOP Semester: Spring 2007 The article basically describes the different types of networks. It states "nearly every type of design is referred to as an ¬area network". The main networks discussed are‚ LAN and WANs. According to the article‚ these were the original categories of area networks. LAN‚ which stands for Local Area Network‚ connects devices over a relatively short

After designing a network‚ there are some tools that will be needed to help monitor network bandwidth and traffic. Monitoring these two areas of a network can provide a network engineer with information about how much bandwidth the company actually needs. This can help to save the company money‚ because they will know exactly how much bandwidth to buy from their ISP. Monitoring network traffic is just as important as monitoring bandwidth‚ if can help to prevent degrading application performance.

LANs: Local Area Networks Local Area Networks also called LANs have been a major player in industrialization of computers. In the past 20 or so years the worlds industry has be invaded with new computer technology. It has made such an impact on the way we do business that it has become essential with an ever-growing need for improvement. LANs give an employer the ability to share information between computers with a simple relatively inexpensive system of network cards and software. It also

3.1.3 Computer Network Topologies Network Topology is a network specification that determines the network arrangement‚ connecting the senders and receivers through lines of connection. Topologies are of both physical and logical aspect of the network. The physical topology describes the network’s physical wiring layout or shape. The logical topology describes the path through which the data moves. Both logical and physical topologies could be same or different in a same network. The physical and

Logical and Physical Network Designs Logical and Physical Network Designs Network planning and design is an extremely important process which must be performed before the establishment of a new telecommunications network. The purpose of network planning and design is to ensure that the new network meets the necessary requirements of the system. The network planning process includes forecasting how the network will operate‚ the economic information concerning costs‚ and the technical details

Introduction Network neutrality means that all content and internet services will be provided to everyone equally. There will be no discrimination on what content is transferred and speed at which they are transferred over the internet. Network neutrality ensures a level playing field for everyone – for all internet activities and websites. Basically‚ everyone can use as much internet they want by paying the same price and also at a high speed. Network neutrality is a hot topic and there is debate
