What are Campus Area Network Home Area Network are for?

A Campus Area Network (CAN) is used to connect buidlings across campuses of colleges or Universities. CANs' also connect buildings across a military installation as well. A CAN is actually a type of Local Area Network (LAN). It is larger than a LAN but smaller than a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN). A Home Area Network is the network used in an individual home. Home users may have all of their computers in the house connected toghether by CAT-V (twisted pair) cable or by a wireless network (actually called a WLAN - Wireless Local Area Network).


What is intarnet?

The Internet is a global network of computers. Every computer that is connected to the Internet is considered a part of that network. This means even your home computer. It's all a matter of degrees, you connect to your ISP's network, then your ISP connects to a larger network and so on.


What is a network that is larger than a LAN and connects clients and servers from multiple buildings is known as a?

MAN


What is computer network topologies?

Here are some common types of network topologies: Bus Topology: In a bus topology, all devices are connected to a single central cable (the bus). Data travels along the bus and is received by all devices on the network. Each device has a unique address, and devices communicate directly with the bus. Star Topology: In a star topology, each device is connected directly to a central hub or switch. All data passes through the central hub, which manages and controls the flow of information between devices. If one device fails, it does not affect the rest of the network. Ring Topology: In a ring topology, each device is connected to two other devices, forming a closed loop or ring. Data travels in one direction around the ring. Devices act as repeaters to strengthen the signal as it passes through each device. Mesh Topology: In a mesh topology, every device is connected to every other device in the network. This creates multiple paths for data to travel, enhancing reliability and fault tolerance. Mesh networks can be full mesh (every device connected to every other device) or partial mesh (only some devices are interconnected). Tree Topology: Tree topology combines characteristics of star and bus topologies. Devices are arranged in a hierarchical structure, with multiple star networks connected to a central bus backbone. This allows for scalability and efficient data flow. Hybrid Topology: Hybrid topology combines two or more different types of topologies to form a larger network. For example, a network might combine elements of star and mesh topologies to create a more flexible and scalable network infrastructure. Each type of network topology has its advantages and disadvantages in terms of cost, scalability, reliability, and ease of management. The choice of topology depends on factors such as the size of the network, the type of applications used, and the level of redundancy and fault tolerance required.


What is specialized network interface card?

A specialized network interface card that performs additional functions in addition to creating the interface that goes in between cables. For example, WAN has these cards and it not only creates its own connections but also allows connection to a much larger network.

What is a narrow strip of land attached to another larger area?

An isthmus (IPA: /ˈɪsθməs, ˈɪstməs, ˈɪsməs/, Greek: ἰσθμός, plural isthmuses or isthmi) is a narrow strip of land that is bordered on two sides by water and connects two larger land masses. It is the inverse of a strait (which lies between two land masses and connects two larger bodies of water).If it is connected by two larger bodies of land, it is called an isthmus. If only connected by one larger body of land, it is called a peninsula (and is connected to the main body of land by an isthmus).


What is ment by subnet?

It means that a larger network has been divided into smaller networks, called "subnets". Each subnet has its own range of IP addresses, that should not overlap with the other subnets.It means that a larger network has been divided into smaller networks, called "subnets".
