numerous different applications and markets, and there will be many

different hardware and software implementations, which is why it is

essential for NCs to conform to the Network Computer Profile (see

section 8).

Some of the general areas which the areas of Network Computers can

be divided into are:

home NCs, typically with lower bandwidth, intermittent, network

access and with a TV as a display device.

* corporate NCs, typically higher bandwidth (eg Ethernet) network

access, with better display devices, more like a traditional PC.

* set top box NC, used to access digital or cable TV, normally with

high speed network access.

* dumb terminals, not really NCs as they just display the output of

programs run on servers, however some NCs also support this method

of operation for backwards compatibility.

* PC NCs, normal computers which are running software which conforms

to the same open standards as Network Computers.

* Mobile NCs, devices such as palmtops, laptops, and PDAs, which

which can be used as NCs when connected to a network but will also

function independently (see section 9).

There are two main types of networks:

1. Server client network: This is a network where there is one central point in a network that supplies the network resources, this point has administrator privliges in the network and controls the whole network.

2. Peer to peer network : In this network all network resources are evenly shared , between all the users. All users in the network have the same amount of adminastrative privlages.

  • LAN - Local Area Network
  • WLAN - Wireless Local Area Network
  • WAN - Wide Area Network
  • MAN - Metropolitan Area Network
  • SAN - Storage Area Network, System Area Network, Server Area Network, or sometimes Small Area Network
  • CAN - Campus Area Network, Controller Area Network, or sometimes Cluster Area Network
  • PAN - Personal Area Network
  • DAN - Desk Area Network

LAN and WAN were the original categories of area networks, while the others have gradually emerged over many years of technology evolution.
