for the network,
which the network
is dependent on,

- LANS AND WANS
- LANS
- LANS ( Local Area
Network) - Confined
to a small area,
located to a single
building, Cheap to
build and run

- WANS
- WAN-( Wide Area
Network)- Cover a wide
area, used in different
buildings , expensive to
build and run

- Topologies
- Ring Toplogies
- Advantages- Easy
to add extra devices,
each computer has
same access
- Disadvantages- If there is
a break, whole network
fails, faults are difficult to
locate, impossible to keep
network runing while
adding new hardware
- Advantages- Easy
to add extra devices,
each computer has
same access
- Bus Toplogies
- Advantages- All
devices are connnected
using one cable,
signals are passed
along the backbone in
each direction. Cost
effective, and easy to
add extra devices

- Star Toplogies
- Advantages-
Fault and load
tolerant and easy
to add extras
- Disadvantages-
Higher Cost, and
dependance on
router/ switch.
