Networks and the internet

Two or more computers that are linked in order to share resources

• network

• topology

• protocol

• internet

It's the way of how various devices, and connections on your network are physically or logically arranged in relation to each other.

...................... is a network that is geographically limited to a single building or location.

• WAN (Wide Area Network)

• LAN (Local Area Network)

• MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)

• PAN (Personal Area Network)

...................... is a network that's covers a larger

geographical area like a city or a town

• WAN (Wide Area Network)

• LAN (Local Area Network)

• MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)

• PAN (Personal Area Network)

...................... is a network that's spreads over a wide geographical area. It can spread across a

country or even the world.

In the this topology, all devices are connected directly to a transmission medium called the bus. All signals pass through each of the devices.

• Bus

• Star

• Ring

• Mesh

• Tree

In this topology, the devices are connected to each other in a circular shape. Each data packet is sent around the ring until it reaches its destination.

• Star

• Ring

• Mesh

• Tree

In a hybrid topology, there are multiple branches. In each branch, there are one or more basic topologies like a star, ring, and bus. Hybrid topologies can be seen in a WAN here there are multiple LANs connected.

• Bus

• Star

• Ring

• Mesh

• Tree

in this topology, each computer is individually wired to a central connecting device which can be a hub, switch, or router with twisted-pair cabling. It is one of the most common network setups.

• Bus

• Star

• Ring

• Mesh

• Tree

each computer and network device is interconnected with every other device in the network. Each computer not only sends its own signals but also relays data

from other computers.
