A computer network is a system of computers, print devices, network devices, and computer software linked by radio waves or communications cable.

• Network Topologies

• Computer Network

• Network Domain

• Database Domain

consists of interconnected computers, printers, and other computer equipment that share hardware and software resources in close physical proximity

• Wide Area Network (WAN)

• Personal Area Network (PAN)

• Campus Area Network (CAN)

• Local Area Network (LAN)

spans a greater distance than a LAN and usually has more complicated networking equipment for midrange communications. A MAN links multiple LANs within a large city or metropolitan region

• Campus Area Network (CAN)

• Wide Area Network (WAN)

• Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

• Personal Area Network (PAN)

is similar to a MAN in that it joins multiple LANs in a specific area, such as in a city or within a defined geographic area.

• Personal Area Network (PAN)

• Personal Area Network (PAN)

• Wide Area Network (WAN)

• Campus Area Network (CAN)

is at the far end of the spectrum because it is a far-reaching system of networks that form a complex whole

The main topologies are bus, ring, star, mesh, and tree. There also are hybrid topologies that include star-bus and star-ring

• Network Domain

• Database Domain

• Network Topologies

• Computer Network

consists of running cable from one PC or server to the next, like links in a chain

• Ring Topology

• Bus Topology

• Star-Bus Hybrid Topology

• Star Topology

a continuous path for data with no logical beginning or ending point, and thus no terminators

• Star Topology

• Mesh Topology

• Bus Topology

• Ring Topology

is the oldest communications design method, with roots in telephone switching systems

• Star Topology

• Bus Topology

• Star-Bus Hybrid Topology

• Ring Topology
