What is networking?
Networking is developing and maintaining connections to other people. In order to connect into other people, it consist of computers, the wiring and other many devices such as the router, switches, modem and hubs. Example of Networking:
In Networking there are types of Networks:
---CAN
Campus Area Network, Controller Area Network, or sometimes Cluster Area Network
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).
---PAN
Personal Area Network
A personal area network (PAN) is the interconnection of information technology devices within the range of an individual person, typically within a range of 10 meters.
---DAN
Desk Area Network
The Desk Area Network (DAN) is a multimedia workstation based around an ATM interconnect (as shown in the above diagram). All communication between peripherals and even between the CPU and its main memory is achieved by sending ATM cells through a switch fabric.
---LAN
Local Area Network connects network devices over a relatively short distance. A networked office building, school, or home usually contains a single LAN, though sometimes one building will contain a few small LANs (perhaps one per room), and occasionally a LAN will span a group of nearby buildings.
---MAN
Metropolitan Area Network, a network spanning a physical area larger than a LAN but smaller than a WAN, such as a city. A MAN is typically owned an operated by a single entity such as a government body or large corporation.
---WAN
A Wide Area Network, differs from a LAN in several important ways. Most WANs (like the Internet) are not owned by any one organization but rather exist under collective or distributed ownership and management.
